(Get the code!)
Requiring a MAC address and entering N/A for it is fine from my perspective. Making the IP address required, not so much. There are several reasons for this: Some devices, specifically the KVM console (not the KVM switch), won't have a network interface so there is no possible way it would have an IP. Other devices we may want to leave configured for DHCP so we wouldn't want to enter an IP. Either way, the MAC being mandatory field is fine since we can enter N/A; you just won't be able to use the MAC to define the device.
Fields that I think should be mandatory:
- Lab
- Device Name (the name we assign to the device)
- Make/Manufacturer
- Model
- Serial Number
- Type of device
- Firmware Version (N/A can be used)
- MAC address (N/A can be used)
