[Unreleased]

[0.1.2] - 2026-10-13

Fixed

• The fingerprint rules are grouped into alternatives (one Redfish answer, one landing page), so discovery's maximum for this driver is 21, not 41. With every alternative summed, a Supermicro landing page (6 of 41) lost to a bare "linux" in the BMC's own SNMP sysDescr (5 of 18). Requires napalm-device-types 4.8.

[0.1.1] - 2026-10-13

Fixed

• Discovery no longer takes every device with an open HTTPS port for a BMC: the PortSpec for 443 carries no weight, so a switch's web UI scores nothing.
• A BMC that refuses Redfish for want of a vendor license (Supermicro X10 without SUM, DCMS or OOB answers even GET /redfish/v1/ with 403 OemLicenseNotPassed) now fails open() with RedfishLicenseError naming the licenses, not with a bare status code.

Added

• Fingerprint rules for the BMC web UIs netOrk's discovery already fetches: Supermicro X9-X11 (ATEN firmware), iDRAC, iLO. A rule for a Redfish error body (@message.extendedinfo) for when discovery reads the service root.
• Recorded fixtures from a Supermicro X10DRL-i (BMC 3.91, unlicensed).

[0.1.0] - 2026-10-13

Added

• redfish NAPALM driver (RedfishDriver) on ManagementControllerDriver from napalm-device-types 4.7, registered as the napalm.drivers entry point redfish
• NAPALM getters for the BMC: get_facts, get_interfaces, get_interfaces_ip, get_environment (fans, temperatures, power supplies; cpu and memory empty), get_users, get_ntp_servers, get_snmp_information
• Role methods for the managed server: get_power_state, set_power_state, get_hardware_inventory, get_event_log, get_firmware_inventory, get_management_protocols; reboot_host resets the BMC (Manager.Reset)
• HTTPS transport on the DMTF redfish library: Redfish session login with the session deleted on close, basic auth fallback only when sessions are unsupported, certificate verification on by default (verify_ssl accepts a CA file), collections followed by @odata.id including nextLink pages, links to other hosts refused
• Environment from ThermalSubsystem/PowerSubsystem/Sensors where present, legacy Thermal/Power otherwise
• Pure parsers for every resource in docs/redfish-map.md
• Tests against DMTF Redfish mockups (public-rackmount1, public-localstorage, public-telemetry) over mocked HTTP

Known limitations

• Not yet run against real hardware; Supermicro X10 behaviour is from the design notes
• No ipmi fallback driver yet
• get_config is not implemented (a BMC has no configuration file)
