Name Data Type Permissions Description
ralearning <String> Read-write Enable the Citrix ADC to learn about various routes from Router Advertisement (RA) and Router Solicitation (RS) messages sent by the routers.
Default value: DISABLED
Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED
routerredirection <String> Read-write Enable the Citrix ADC to do Router Redirection.
Default value: DISABLED
Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED
ndbasereachtime <Integer> Read-write Base reachable time of the Neighbor Discovery (ND6) protocol. The time, in milliseconds, that the Citrix ADC assumes an adjacent device is reachable after receiving a reachability confirmation.
Default value: 30000
Minimum value = 1
ndretransmissiontime <Integer> Read-write Retransmission time of the Neighbor Discovery (ND6) protocol. The time, in milliseconds, between retransmitted Neighbor Solicitation (NS) messages, to an adjacent device.
Default value: 1000
Minimum value = 1
natprefix <String> Read-write Prefix used for translating packets from private IPv6 servers to IPv4 packets. This prefix has a length of 96 bits (128-32 = 96). The IPv6 servers embed the destination IP address of the IPv4 servers or hosts in the last 32 bits of the destination IP address field of the IPv6 packets. The first 96 bits of the destination IP address field are set as the IPv6 NAT prefix. IPv6 packets addressed to this prefix have to be routed to the Citrix ADC to ensure that the IPv6-IPv4 translation is done by the appliance.
td <Integer> Read-write Integer value that uniquely identifies the traffic domain in which you want to configure the entity. If you do not specify an ID, the entity becomes part of the default traffic domain, which has an ID of 0.
Default value: 0
Minimum value = 0
Maximum value = 4094
dodad <String> Read-write Enable the Citrix ADC to do Duplicate Address
Detection (DAD) for all the Citrix ADC owned IPv6 addresses regardless of whether they are obtained through stateless auto configuration, DHCPv6, or manual configuration.
Default value: DISABLED
Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED
usipnatprefix <String> Read-write IPV6 NATPREFIX used in NAT46 scenario when USIP is turned on.
basereachtime <Integer> Read-only ND6 base reachable time (ms).
reachtime <Integer> Read-only ND6 computed reachable time (ms).
ndreachtime <Integer> Read-only ND6 computed reachable time (ms).
retransmissiontime <Integer> Read-only ND6 retransmission time (ms).
_nextgenapiresource <String> Read-only .
__count <Double> Read-only count parameter

Operations

(click to see Properties )
  • UPDATE
  • UNSET
  • GET (ALL)
  • GET
  • COUNT
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>
*Note: * Mandatory parameters are marked in red and placeholder content is marked in green
