Port | requests. The default port is 119. |

NNTP options | ❚ Posting: Allows users to post NNTP articles to parent |
| NNTP servers. |
| ❚ Access Control: Turns access control on or off. To refine |
| access control, use the |
| Configuring NNTP access‚ on page 69 for more |
| information. |
| If you are using an authentication server, you must enter its |
| name and port (see page 33). |
| ❚ NNTP V2 Authentication Server: Supports NNTP version 2 |
| authentication. Use this option only if all of your client |
| authentication supports version 2. |
| ❚ Run Local Authentication Server: Runs an authentication |
| program on the selected node. Use the |
| interface to configure which clients must be authenticated. |
| See Configuring NNTP access‚ on page 69 for more |
| information. |
| ❚ Allow Feeds: Allows the appliance to accept feeds of news |
| articles from feed or push groups. |
| Use the |
| push groups. The appliance does not cache news articles |
| from feed groups; instead, it receives feeds of news articles |
| as the parent NNTP server receives feeds. Push groups |
| are groups for which the appliance can both retrieve |
| articles on demand and receive news feeds. |
| See Configuring NNTP servers‚ on page 65 for information |
| about designating news groups as push or feed. |
