Configuration for LSN group resource.

Inputs

    - ENABLED

    description:
    - 'Enable Application Layer Gateway (ALG) for the FTP protocol. For some application-layer
      protocols, the IP addresses and protocol port numbers are usually communicated in
      the packet''s payload. When acting as an ALG, the Citrix ADC changes the packet''s
      payload to ensure that the protocol continues to work over LSN. '
    - ''
    - 'Note:  The Citrix ADC also includes ALG for ICMP and TFTP protocols. ALG for the
      ICMP protocol is enabled by default, and there is no provision to disable it. ALG
      for the TFTP protocol is disabled by default. ALG is enabled automatically for an
      LSN group when you bind a UDP LSN application profile, with endpoint-independent-mapping,
      endpoint-independent filtering, and destination port as 69 (well-known port for
      TFTP), to the LSN group.'

      You must enable global level LSN logging by enabling the LSN parameter in the related
      NSLOG action and SYLOG action entities. When the Logging parameter is enabled, the
      Citrix ADC generates log messages related to LSN mappings and LSN sessions of this

    description:
    - 'Type of NAT IP address and port allocation (from the bound LSN pools) for subscribers:'
    - ''
    - 'Available options function as follows:'
    - ''
    - '* Deterministic - Allocate a NAT IP address and a block of ports to each subscriber
      (of the LSN client bound to the LSN group). The Citrix ADC sequentially allocates
      NAT resources to these subscribers. The Citrix ADC ADC assigns the first block of
      ports (block size determined by the port block size parameter of the LSN group)
      on the beginning NAT IP address to the beginning subscriber IP address. The next
      range of ports is assigned to the next subscriber, and so on, until the NAT address
      does not have enough ports for the next subscriber. In this case, the first port
      block on the next NAT address is used for the subscriber, and so on.  Because each
      subscriber now receives a deterministic NAT IP address and a block of ports, a subscriber
      can be identified without any need for logging. For a connection, a subscriber can
      be identified based only on the NAT IP address and port, and the destination IP
      address and port. The maximum number of LSN subscribers allowed, globally, is 1
      million.  '
    - ''
    - '* Dynamic - Allocate a random NAT IP address and a port from the LSN NAT pool for
      a subscriber''s connection. If port block allocation is enabled (in LSN pool) and
      a port block size is specified (in the LSN group), the Citrix ADC allocates a random
      NAT IP address and a block of ports for a subscriber when it initiates a connection
      for the first time. The ADC allocates this NAT IP address and a port (from the allocated
      block of ports) for different connections from this subscriber. If all the ports
      are allocated (for different subscriber''s connections) from the subscriber''s allocated
      port block, the ADC allocates a new random port block for the subscriber.'

    - To understand better if we assume port blocks of all NAT IPs as two dimensional
      array, C(PORTS) policy follows "row major order" and C(IPADDRS) policy follows "column
      major order" while allocating port blocks.

      parameter is always  enabled, and you cannot disable it.
    - ''
    - In Dynamic NAT, the Citrix ADC allocates a random NAT port block, from the available
      NAT port pool of an NAT IP address, for each subscriber. For a subscriber, if all
      the ports are allocated from the subscriber's allocated port block, the ADC allocates
      a new random port block for the subscriber.
