netOrk's discovery took six switches for BMCs: the PortSpec for 443
added 5 points to every device with a web UI, and nothing else scored
them. The port now carries no weight.
The real BMC, a Supermicro X10DRL-i, was not recognised at all. Its web
UI (ATEN firmware) gets a rule, as do iDRAC and iLO; discovery fetches
those landing pages today. A rule for a Redfish error body covers the
service root once discovery reads it.
That board refuses Redfish without a Supermicro license, even the
service root (403 OemLicenseNotPassed, "SUM DCMS OOB"). The library
reports only the status, so open() reads the error body once more and
raises RedfishLicenseError naming the licenses.
Release 0.1.1.
The redfish driver implements get_facts, get_interfaces, get_interfaces_ip, get_environment, get_users, get_ntp_servers and get_snmp_information for the BMC, and the role methods get_power_state, set_power_state, get_hardware_inventory, get_event_log, get_firmware_inventory and get_management_protocols for the managed server. reboot_host resets the BMC through Manager.Reset, never the server.
Registered as the napalm.drivers entry point redfish; depends on napalm and napalm-device-types >= 4.6.
parse_power_supply also reads items of the legacy Power.PowerSupplies array, parse_ethernet_interface exposes the raw LinkStatus, and parse_network_protocol reports protocols that carry a Port without a ProtocolEnabled flag.
Pure functions for ServiceRoot, ComputerSystem (facts, power state, reset action and ActionInfo), Processors, Memory, Storage/Drives/SimpleStorage, Chassis Thermal and Power as well as ThermalSubsystem/PowerSubsystem/Sensors (with environment_sources to pick whichever exists), Manager, EthernetInterfaces, ManagerNetworkProtocol, accounts, firmware inventory and log services/entries.
Session login through the SessionService with X-Auth-Token, the session deleted on close (also on errors and when the DELETE fails), basic auth as fallback only when the service cannot create sessions, never after a rejected password. Certificate verification is on by default and configurable per device; True passes the requests CA bundle explicitly because the redfish library disables verification without a CA file.
Collections are followed by @odata.id, including expanded members and nextLink pages. Links to other hosts are refused so the session token stays on the BMC.
Unmodified files from DMTF Redfish-Publications (public-rackmount1, public-localstorage, public-telemetry), only those the tests use, each set with DMTF's BSD-3-Clause license and a COMMANDS.txt naming the source commit and request paths.
conftest.py loads them by request path and serves a mockup over mocked HTTP, with a SessionService that hands out a token, for the transport tests.
pyproject.toml (Apache-2.0, Python >= 3.10, depends on the DMTF redfish library) and an empty napalm_redfish package. No napalm.drivers entry point yet: the driver class waits for the ManagementControllerDriver role base.
No code yet. The README explains why one Redfish driver with vendor quirk
modules beats a Supermicro-only IPMI driver, and keeps IPMI over LAN as a
read-only fallback. docs/ holds a draft for a new ManagementController
role base in napalm-device-types, the getter-to-resource map, the first
test device (Supermicro X10DRL-i, Redfish firmware 3.91), the security
points (IPMI RAKP hash disclosure, power control, credentials) and the
test plan with DMTF mockups and fixtures to record.
