This NED is equipped with a number of runtime configuration options "NED settings" allowing for customization by the end user. All options are configurable using the NSO API for NED settings. Most NED settings can be configured globally, per device profile or per device instance in the following locations:
global /ncs:devices/global-settings/ned-settings/ciena-acos/ profile /ncs:devices/ncs:profiles/profile:/ned-settings/ciena-acos/ device /ncs:/device/devices/device:/ned-settings/ciena-acos/
Profiles setting overrides global-settings and device settings override profile settings, hence the narrowest scope of the setting is used by the device.
If user changes a ned-setting, then user must reconnect to the device, i.e. disconnect and connect in order for the new setting to take effect.
From the NSO CLI the device instance NED settings for this NED are available under:
# config
# devices device dev-1 ned-settings ciena-acos
Press TAB to see all the NED settings.
- extended-parser <enum> (default auto)
Make the NED enable extensions to ease the task of the NSO CLI command parser. A common
problem with this parser is that it can easily get lost when trying to parse configuration not
supported by the YANG model. In particular it is very sensitive for unsupported config that
generates a mode switch.
auto - Uses turbo-mode when available, will use fastest availablemethod to load
data to NSO. If NSO doesn't support data-loading from CLI NED, robust-mode
is used.
robust-mode - The configuration dump is run through a pre-parser which is cleaning it from
all elements currently not supported in the YANG model (default).
turbo-mode - The NED executes the whole command parsing by itself, completely bypassing
the NSO CLI parser. The configuration dump is transferred to NSO using a
Maapi SetValues() call.
turbo-xml-mode - The NED executes the whole command parsing by itself, completely bypassing
the NSO CLI parser. The configuration dump is transferred to NSO in XML
format.
- slot <uint32>
Equipment group slot (Ciena 6500 platform specific settings).
- connection number-of-retries <uint8> (default 0)
Configure max number of retries the NED will try to connect to the device before giving up.
Default 0.
- connection time-between-retry <uint8> (default 1)
Configure the time in seconds the NED will wait between each connect retry. Default 1s.
- connection connector <WORD>
Change the default connector, e.g. 'ned-connector-default.json'.
- connection terminal width <uint32> (default 4096)
- connection terminal height <uint32> (default 200)
- connection ssh client <enum>
Configure the SSH client to use. Relevant only when using the NED with NSO 5.6 or later.
ganymed - The legacy SSH client. Used on all older versions of NSO.
sshj - The new SSH client with support for the latest crypto features. This is the default
when using the NED on NSO 5.6 or later.
- connection ssh host-key known-hosts-file <string>
Path to openssh formatted 'known_hosts' file containing valid host keys.
- connection ssh host-key public-key-file <string>
Path to openssh formatted public (.pub) host key file.
- connection ssh auth-key private-key-file <string>
Path to openssh formatted private key file.
