Description

Configuration for LSN pool resource.

Inputs

    
nsip:
    description:
    - The ip address of the NetScaler ADC appliance where the nitro API calls will be
      made.
    - The port can be specified with the colon (:). E.g. 192.168.1.1:555.
    required: true
    type: str

state:
    choices:
    - present
    - absent
    - unset
    default: present
    description:
    - The state of the resource being configured by the module on the NetScaler ADC node.
    - When C(present), the resource will be added/updated configured according to the
      module's parameters.
    - When C(absent), the resource will be deleted from the NetScaler ADC node.
    - When C(unset), the resource will be unset on the NetScaler ADC node.
    type: str

nattype:
    choices:
    - DYNAMIC
    - DETERMINISTIC
    description:
    - 'Type of NAT IP address and port allocation (from the LSN pools bound to an LSN
      group) for subscribers (of the LSN client entity bound to the LSN group):'
    - ''
    - '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.'
    - ' '
    - '* 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.'
    - Only LSN Pools and LSN groups with the same NAT type settings can be bound together.
      Multiples LSN pools can be bound to an LSN group. A maximum of 16 LSN pools can
      be bound to an LSN group.

      character, and must contain only ASCII alphanumeric, underscore, hash (#), period
      (.), space, colon (:), at (@), equals (=), and hyphen (-) characters. Cannot be
      changed after the LSN pool is created. The following requirement applies only to
      the Citrix ADC CLI: If the name includes one or more spaces, enclose the name in
      double or single quotation marks (for example, "lsn pool1" or ''lsn pool1'').'

      no changes.

maxportrealloctmq:
    description:
    - Maximum number of ports for which the port reallocation timeout applies for each
      NAT IP address. In other words, the maximum deallocated-port queue size for which
      the reallocation timeout applies for each NAT IP address.
    - ''
    - When the queue size is full, the next port deallocated is reallocated immediately
      for a new LSN session.

portrealloctimeout:
    description:
    - 'The waiting time, in seconds, between deallocating LSN NAT ports (when an LSN mapping
      is removed) and reallocating them for a new LSN session. This parameter is necessary
      in order to prevent collisions between old and new mappings and sessions. It ensures
      that all established sessions are broken instead of redirected to a different subscriber.
      This is not applicable for ports used in:'
    - '* Deterministic NAT'
    - '* Address-Dependent filtering and Address-Port-Dependent filtering'
    - '* Dynamic NAT with port block allocation'
    - In these cases, ports are immediately reallocated.

portblockallocation:
    choices:
    - ENABLED
    - DISABLED
    description:
    - Allocate a random NAT port block, from the available NAT port pool of an NAT IP
      address, for each subscriber when the NAT allocation is set as Dynamic NAT. For
      any connection initiated from a subscriber, the Citrix ADC allocates a NAT port
      from the subscriber's allocated NAT port block to create the LSN session.
    - ''
    - You must set the port block size in the bound LSN group. For a subscriber, if all
      the ports are allocated from the subscriber's allocated port block, the Citrix ADC
      allocates a new random port block for the subscriber.
    - ''
    - For Deterministic NAT, this parameter is enabled by default, and you cannot disable
      it.
