Use the Server Ports tab to configure various features on a per-port basis. The tab contains a table that you maintain by adding and removing rows. Each row defines a different configuration, and a sub-tab displays the Virtual Router configuration.
| Field | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Ports Table Fields: | ||
| RowID | Incremental row number. (This field is read-only.) | |
| Port |
Click the field and select from the drop-down menu to select a port to configure. If you have not yet added a hardware platform through the Administration menu, port selections are not available. However, you can select unspecified:n from the Port drop-down menu to proceed with configuration without a specific port assignment.

| Host NDP (IPv6 only) |
Select to enable NDP (Neighbor Discovery Protocol). IPv6 nodes use NDP to discover other nodes on the link, to determine the link-layer addresses of other nodes on the link, to find routers, and to maintain reachability information about the paths to active neighbors.
|
|
| Gratuitous ARP (IPv4 only) |
Select to broadcast an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) request with the port's IPv4 address at the beginning of each test. This ensures that a device connected to the port has the correct ARP cache data.
