Advanced Settings Reference¶

NETLAB+’s Advanced Settings are based on simple key=value strings. Advanced settings allow pod designers to take advantage of new features and capabilities that are still evolving and do not have a corresponding user interface in NETLAB+. Advanced settings for a pod design can be accessed and viewed from the Advanced tab. Enter configuration directives, one per line in the text area. Each line may contain one of the following elements:

A key=value configuration directive.
A blank line.
A comment beginning with the pound symbol (#) in the first column.

Configuration directives may be complemented or replaced by user interface elements in future versions of NETLAB+.

To view the Advanced Settings, click on the Advanced tab.

To modify the Advanced Settings, click on the Modify Advanced Settings button.
