Change the NV for Load Generator and NV Network Editor port

By default, port 8182 is the port number that is used by a browser to access the NV Network Editor, and the port number that is used to access the NV for Load Generator component. Although there is typically no need to change the port number, if required, you can change the port number as described below.

For details on how to change the NV for Controller port number, see Change the NV for Controller port.
