Name Data Type Permissions Description
partitionname <String> Read-write Name of the Partition. Must begin with an ASCII alphanumeric or underscore (_) character, and must contain only ASCII alphanumeric, underscore, hash (#), period (.), space, colon (:), at (@), equals (=), and hyphen (-) characters.
Minimum length = 1
maxbandwidth <Integer> Read-write Maximum bandwidth, in Kbps, that the partition can consume. A zero value indicates the bandwidth is unrestricted on the partition and it can consume up to the system limits.
Default value: 10240
minbandwidth <Integer> Read-write Minimum bandwidth, in Kbps, that the partition can consume. A zero value indicates the bandwidth is unrestricted on the partition and it can consume up to the system limits.
Default value: 10240
maxconn <Integer> Read-write Maximum number of concurrent connections that can be open in the partition. A zero value indicates no limit on number of open connections.
Default value: 1024
maxmemlimit <Integer> Read-write Maximum memory, in megabytes, allocated to the partition. A zero value indicates the memory is unlimited on the partition and it can consume up to the system limits.
Default value: 10
Minimum value = 0
Maximum value = 1048576
partitionmac <String> Read-write Special MAC address for the partition which is used for communication over shared vlans in this partition. If not specified, the MAC address is auto-generated.
force <Boolean> Read-write Switches to new admin partition without prompt for saving configuration. Configuration will not be saved.
save <Boolean> Read-write Switches to new admin partition without prompt for saving configuration. Configuration will be saved.
partitionid <Integer> Read-only Partition Id.
Minimum value = 1
Maximum value = 511
partitiontype <String> Read-only Type of the Partition.
Possible values = Default Partition, Current Partition
pmacinternal <Boolean> Read-only Partition MAC is generated internally.

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
