addserver

Use this method to creates a server entry on the NetScaler. The NetScaler appliance supports two types of servers: IP address based servers and domain based servers.

Syntax



Parameters

name

Name for the server. Must begin with an ASCII alphabetic or underscore (_) character, and must contain only ASCII alphanumeric, underscore, hash (#), period (.), space, colon (:), at (@), equals (=), and hyphen (-) characters. Can be changed after the name is created.
This is mandatory parameter.

ipaddress

IPv4 or IPv6 address of the server. If you create an IP address based server, you can specify the name of the server, instead of its IP address, when creating a service. Note: If you do not create a server entry, the server IP address that you enter when you create a service becomes the name of the server.

domain

Domain name of the server. For a domain based configuration, you must create the server first.

translationip

IP address used to transform the server's DNS-resolved IP address.

translationmask

The netmask of the translation ip

domainresolveretry

Time, in seconds, for which the NetScaler must wait, after DNS resolution fails, before sending the next DNS query to resolve the domain name.
Default value = 5.
Minimum value = 5.
Maximum value = 20939.

state

Initial state of the server.
Default value = ENABLED.

ipv6address

Support IPv6 addressing mode. If you configure a server with the IPv6 addressing mode, you cannot use the server in the IPv4 addressing mode.
Default value = NO.

comment

Any information about the server.

querytype

Specify the type of DNS resolution to be done on the configured domain to get the backend services. Valid query types are A, AAAA and SRV with A being the default querytype. The type of DNS resolution done on the domains in SRV records is inherited from ipv6 argument.
Default value = ns_t_a.

Return Value

Returns simpleResult
