Name	Data Type	Permissions	Description
ipaddress		Read-write	IPv4 address to create on the Citrix ADC. Cannot be changed after the IP address is created. Minimum length = 1
netmask		Read-write	Subnet mask associated with the IP address.
type		Read-write	Type of the IP address to create on the Citrix ADC. Cannot be changed after the IP address is created. The following are the different types of Citrix ADC owned IP addresses A Subnet IP (SNIP) address is used by the Citrix ADC to communicate with the servers. The Citrix ADC also uses the subnet IP address when generating its own packets, such as packets related to dynamic routing protocols, or to send monitor probes to check the health of the servers. A Virtual IP (VIP) address is the IP address associated with a virtual server. It is the IP address to which clients connect. An appliance managing a wide range of traffic may have many VIPs configured. Some of the attributes of the VIP address are customized to meet the requirements of the virtual server. A GSLB site IP (GSLBIP) address is associated with a GSLB site. It is not mandatory to specify a GSLBIP address when you initially configure the Citrix ADC. A GSLBIP address is used only when you create a GSLB site. A Cluster IP (CLIP) address is the management address of the cluster. All cluster configurations must be performed by accessing the cluster through this IP address. Default value: SNIP Possible values = SNIP, VIP, NSIP, GSLBsiteIP, CLIP
arp		Read-write	Respond to ARP requests for this IP address. Default value: ENABLED Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED
icmp		Read-write	Respond to ICMP requests for this IP address. Default value: ENABLED Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED
vserver		Read-write	Use this option to set (enable or disable) the virtual server attribute for this IP address. Default value: ENABLED Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED
telnet		Read-write	Allow Telnet access to this IP address. Default value: ENABLED Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED
ftp		Read-write	Allow File Transfer Protocol (FTP) access to this IP address. Default value: ENABLED Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED

restrictaccess		Read-write	Block access to nonmanagement applications on this IP. This option is applicable for MIPs, SNIPs, and NSIP, and is disabled by default. Nonmanagement applications can run on the underlying Citrix ADC Free BSD operating system. Default value: DISABLED Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED
dynamicrouting		Read-write	Allow dynamic routing on this IP address. Specific to Subnet IP (SNIP) address. Default value: DISABLED Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED

networkroute		Read-write	Option to push the SNIP subnet to ZebOS routing table for Kernel route redistribution through dynamic routing protocol. Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED
tag		Read-write	Tag value for the network/host route associated with this IP. Default value: 0
hostrtgw		Read-write	IP address of the gateway of the route for this VIP address. Default value: -1
metric		Read-write	Integer value to add to or subtract from the cost of the route advertised for the VIP address. Minimum value = -16777215
vserverrhilevel		Read-write	Advertise the route for the Virtual IP (VIP) address on the basis of the state of the virtual servers associated with that VIP. NONE - Advertise the route for the VIP address, regardless of the state of the virtual servers associated with the address. ONE VSERVER - Advertise the route for the VIP address if at least one of the associated virtual servers is in UP state. ALL VSERVER - Advertise the route for the VIP address if all of the associated virtual servers are in UP state. VSVR_CNTRLD - Advertise the route for the VIP address according to the RHIstate (RHI STATE) parameter setting on all the associated virtual servers of the VIP address along with their states. When Vserver RHI Level (RHI) parameter is set to VSVR_CNTRLD, the following are different RHI behaviors for the VIP address on the basis of RHIstate (RHI STATE) settings on the virtual servers associated with the VIP address If you set RHI STATE to PASSIVE on all virtual servers, the Citrix ADC always advertises the route for the VIP address. If you set RHI STATE to ACTIVE on all virtual servers, the Citrix ADC advertises the route for the VIP address if at least one of the associated virtual servers is in UP state. *If you set RHI STATE to ACTIVE on some and PASSIVE on others, the Citrix ADC advertises the route for the VIP address if at least one of the associated virtual servers, whose RHI STATE set to ACTIVE, is in UP state. Default value: ONE_VSERVER Possible values = ONE_VSERVER, ALL_VSERVERS, NONE, VSVR_CNTRLD
ospflsatype		Read-write	Type of LSAs to be used by the OSPF protocol, running on the Citrix ADC, for advertising the route for this VIP address. Default value: TYPE5 Possible values = TYPE1, TYPE5
ospfarea		Read-write	ID of the area in which the type1 link-state advertisements (LSAs) are to be advertised for this virtual IP (VIP) address by the OSPF protocol running on the Citrix ADC. When this parameter is not set, the VIP is advertised on all areas. Default value: -1 Minimum value = 0 Maximum value = 4294967294LU
state		Read-write	Enable or disable the IP address. Default value: ENABLED Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED
vrid		Read-write	A positive integer that uniquely identifies a VMAC address for binding to this VIP address. This binding is used to set up Citrix ADCs in an active-active configuration using VRRP. Minimum value = 1 Maximum value = 255
icmpresponse		Read-write	Respond to ICMP requests for a Virtual IP (VIP) address on the basis of the states of the virtual servers associated with that VIP. Available settings function as follows NONE - The Citrix ADC responds to any ICMP request for the VIP address, irrespective of the states of the virtual servers associated with the address. ONE VSERVER - The Citrix ADC responds to any ICMP request for the VIP address if at least one of the associated virtual servers is in UP state. ALL VSERVER - The Citrix ADC responds to any ICMP request for the VIP address if all of the associated virtual servers are in UP state. VSVR_CNTRLD - The behavior depends on the ICMP VSERVER RESPONSE setting on all the associated virtual servers. The following settings can be made for the ICMP VSERVER RESPONSE parameter on a virtual server If you set ICMP VSERVER RESPONSE to PASSIVE on all virtual servers, Citrix ADC always responds. If you set ICMP VSERVER RESPONSE to ACTIVE on all virtual servers, Citrix ADC responds if even one virtual server is UP. When you set ICMP VSERVER RESPONSE to ACTIVE on some and PASSIVE on others, Citrix ADC responds if even one virtual server set to ACTIVE is UP.

ONE VSERVER - The Citrix ADC responds to any ARP request for the VIP address if at least one of the associated virtual servers is in UP state.

Some options that you can use for each operations:

Getting warnings in response: NITRO allows you to get warnings in an operation by specifying the 'warning' query parameter as 'yes'. For example, to get warnings while connecting to the NetScaler appliance, the URL is as follows:

http:// <netscaler-ip-address> /nitro/v1/config/login?warning=yes

If any, the warnings are displayed in the response payload with the HTTP code '209 X-NITRO-WARNING'.
Authenticated access for individual NITRO operations: NITRO allows you to logon to the NetScaler appliance to perform individual operations. You can use this option instead of creating a NITRO session (using the login object) and then using that session to perform all operations,

To do this, you must specify the username and password in the request header of the NITRO request as follows:

X-NITRO-USER: <username>

X-NITRO-PASS: <password>

Note: In such cases, make sure that the request header DOES not include the following:

Cookie:NITRO_AUTH_TOKEN= <tokenvalue>
