The following table describes the options.
Option | Definition  | 
  | 
  | 
NNTP Server  | Enables or disables the appliance to cache and serve news  | 
on/off  | articles.  | 
  | After turning NNTP on or off for the selected node, you must  | 
  | restart the cluster to effect the change. Click the Restart  | 
  | button on the Server Basics page.  | 
  | 
  | 
NNTP Server  | Specifies the port that the appliance uses for serving NNTP  | 
Port  | requests. The default port is 119.  | 
  | 
  | 
Connect  | Defines the message displayed to news readers when they  | 
Message  | connect to the appliance with posting allowed.  | 
(posting  | 
  | 
allowed)  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
Connect  | Defines the message displayed to news readers when they  | 
Message  | connect to the appliance with posting not allowed.  | 
(posting not  | 
  | 
allowed)  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
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.  |
