Support configuring wired network settings from Console

[graikhel-intel]

Description

As a user, I want to configure wired network settings from the Console so that I can update the AMT network configuration if the network environment changes.

Currently there is no way to change wired network settings from DHCP to Static IP or vice versa through the Console. This feature will add the ability to configure wired network settings directly from the UI.

Users should be able to configure the wired interface using one of the following options:

1. DHCP
2. Manually set Static IP
3. Static IP synchronized with the host OS

For setting Static IP configuration manually, users must provide the following fields:

• IP address
• Subnet mask
• Gateway
• Primary DNS
• Secondary DNS (optional)

This will require exposing APIs in Console to update the wired network configuration and integrating the functionality into the Sample-Web-UI.

Clarification

• This story focuses only on configuring wired network settings (DHCP or Static IP).
• Static IP configuration requires providing network parameters such as IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS.
• Static IP synchronization with the host OS should also be supported as an option.
• The design should allow future support for 802.1X wired authentication, which will be covered in a separate story.
• Syncing network configuration with the host OS requires Intel LMS (Local Manageability Service) to be installed and running on the host system.

Acceptance Criteria

Console:

• API to configure wired network settings to DHCP.
• API to configure wired network settings to Static IP with option to synchronize IP with the host OS.
• Static IP configuration without synchronization supports the following fields:
  • IP address
  • Subnet mask
  • Gateway
  • Primary DNS
  • Secondary DNS (optional)

Sample-Web-UI

• UI option to select wired network configuration mode (DHCP, Static IP, Static IP synced with OS).
• UI form to configure Static IP fields.

Documentation

• Documentation is updated to describe the new APIs.
