Simple customizer for Netlab's Advanced Networking Tab options
- Developed with Python 3.11
- Uses template input file named 'advanced_networking_tab_template.txt'
- The template file was provided by Instructor Bill Saichek to WASTC's Netlab Workshop participants in June 2023
- Bill's original file has been slightly modified for use with this customizer
- Make sure the template input file and Python script file exist in the same folder!
- Outputs all Networking Tab option lines in the template file to a new file named 'advanced_networking_tab.txt'
- These file names are settable to whatever names you wish
- Edit any option line in the template file to make the option settable
- Change
<option>=<setting>
to<option>/=<setting> # <description>
- The
# <description>
comment is optional
- Change
- For instance, changing
vswitch.0.ports=12
tovswitch.0.ports=/12 # TOTAL number of NICs on all VMs, plus 1
generates this description and prompt:
# TOTAL number of NICs on all VMs, plus 1
vswitch.0.ports=[12] ?
- Press the <enter> key to accept the option value in square brackets, or type a different value
