Properties

All objects, links and flows can have properties. Property is any text information, specified for the entity, in the name-value format.

Properties allow to add descriptions and other useful information to objects.

Properties can be unfilled - with empty value.

  • server address to access it via SSH or Telnet: the address or ip property.
