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/vmware-vsphere/
profile
/ncs:devices/ncs:profiles/profile:/ned-settings/vmware-vsphere/
device
/ncs:/device/devices/device:/ned-settings/vmware-vsphere/
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 vmware-vsphere
