NED settings details

---

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/ericsson-enm/ profile /ncs:devices/ncs:profiles/profile:/ned-settings/ericsson-enm/ device /ncs:/device/devices/device:/ned-settings/ericsson-enm/

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 ericsson-enm

Press TAB to see all the NED settings.

2. ned-settings ericsson-enm logger

---

Settings for controlling logs generated.

- logger level <enum> (default info)

  Set level of logging.

  error    - error.

  info     - info.

  verbose  - verbose.

  debug    - debug.


- logger java <true|false> (default true)

3. ned-settings ericsson-enm connection

Configure settings specific to the connection between NED and device.

- connection api-base-url <string>

  API base URL for device REST API.


- connection ssl accept-any <true|false>

  Accept any SSL certificate presented by the device.
  Warning! This enables Man in the Middle attacks and
  should only be used for testing and troubleshooting.


- connection ssl certificate <string>

  SSL certificate stored in DER format but since it is entered
  as Base64 it is very similar to PEM but without banners like

  Toggle detailed logs to only written to store.

3.1. ned-settings ericsson-enm connection timeouts

---

These files will determine how long the NED will wait for a reply from the device The total delay is (read_number_of_attempts * read_delay_between_attempts) seconds

- timeouts read_number_of_attempts <uint32> (default 120)

  how many times the NED will pool the device for a status update during a READ operation.


- timeouts read_delay_between_attempts <uint32> (default 1)

  how long the NED will wait between status pooling attempts, in seconds, during a READ
  operation.
