#### NAPALM Settings
Since v2.1.0, NAPALM has been tightly integrated into NetBox. To learn more about what NAPALM is and how it works, please see the documentation from the [libary itself](http://napalm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html) or the documentation from [NetBox](https://netbox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration/optional-settings/#napalm_username) on how it is integrated.
To enable this functionality, simply complete the following lines in `netbox.env` (or appropriate secrets mechanism) :
* `NAPALM_USERNAME`: A common username that can be utilized for connecting to network devices in your environment.
* `NAPALM_PASSWORD`: The password to use in combintation with the username to connect to network devices.
* `NAPALM_TIMEOUT`: A value to use for when an attempt to connect to a device will timeout if no response has been recieved.
However, if you have no need for this functionality, leaving them blank will not hinder the performance of NetBox at all.
