Virtual Server FTP Service Configuration Options (/cfg/slb/virt/service/ftp) 
Command Syntax and Usage
tcpopt
 
Displays the TCP Optimization menu for adding a TCP optimization policy to the client-side and server-side flows of a virtual service. To view this menu, see /cfg/slb/virt/service/basic-slb/tcpopt TCP Optimization Menu.
pbind clientip|disable
 
Specifies the parameter that defines a persistent session.
Values:
*clientip — Uses the client IP address as the session identifier, and associates all connections from the same client with the same real server until the client becomes inactive, and the persistent entry is aged out of the session table.
Different services from the same client may not map to the same server.
The real server connection timeout value (/cfg/slb/real/tmout) controls how long these inactive but persistent connections remain associated with their real servers.
When the client resumes activity after their connection has been aged out, they are connected to the most appropriate real server based on the load balancing metric.
An alternative approach may be to use the /cfg/slb/group/content/metric command to set the minmisses or hash real server group metrics.
With clientip enabled, Alteon maps HTTP and HTTPS traffic from the same client to the same server regardless of the load balancing metric used because the services are related.
For more information, see Server Load Balancing Metrics.
*disable — Disables persistence for this service.
Default: disable
dataport
 
Specifies the port that will be used for the FTP data connection associated with this FTP service.
This option is relevant only on the FTP control virtual service and provides binding between the control and data virtual services of an FTP service.
Note: Configuration of separate FTP virtual services for control and for data connections is mandatory for passive FTP.
ftpp disable|enable
 
Specifies whether to enable FTP parsing for the virtual service.
To create an active FTP configuration, configure both FTP and FTP data services on the virtual server. If there is no proxy defined on the client port or VLAN, you do not have to enable the FTP data service.
To create a passive FTP configuration, enable both the FTP and FTP data services on the virtual server.
When configuring only a control service without a related data service, disable this option for service 21.
Note: This command displays only when the virtual service is set to ftp or service port 21.
Default: enable
