Network Profiles

Network Configuration profiles on the RPS server help to set the desired network on the AMT device. The AMT Ethernet Port Setting is the AMT API used to set the network settings in AMT by the RPS. RPS network profiles currently contain three boolean settings.

• DHCPEnabled - is a boolean. Indicates whether DHCP is in use.
• SharedStaticIp - is a boolean. Indicates whether the static host IP is shared with ME.
• IpSyncEnabled - is a boolean. Indicates whether the IP synchronization between host and ME is enabled.

Predefined Profiles

RPS currently supports two predefined network configurations, DHCP_Enabled and DHCP_Disabled, with the following settings.

DHCP_Enabled Network Config:

{
    "ProfileName": "dhcp_enabled",
    "DHCPEnabled": true,
    "StaticIPShared": false,
    "IPSyncEnabled": true
}

DHCP_Disabled Network Config:

{
    "ProfileName": "dhcp_disabled",
    "DHCPEnabled": false,
    "StaticIPShared": true,
    "IPSyncEnabled": true
}

Example Scenarios

The following are scenarios depicting the result of RPS attempting to set network settings in comparison to the set Host OS settings.

Host OS	RPS Network Profile Used	Network Settings on Device	Result
Static IP	DHCP_Enabled	✖ DHCP in Use ✔ Shared Static IP ✖ IP Sync	RPS update the device settings as per the profile. Deletes SubnetMask, DefaultGateway, IPAddress, PrimaryDNS, and SecondaryDNS.
Static IP	DHCP_Disabled	✔ DHCP in Use ✖ Shared Static IP ✖ IP Sync	RPS update the device settings as per the profile. Deletes SubnetMask, DefaultGateway, IPAddress, PrimaryDNS, and SecondaryDNS. Note: Sets the same static IP address as host.
Static IP	DHCP_Disabled	✖ DHCP in Use ✔ Shared Static IP ✖ IP Sync	RPS updates the device settings as per the profile. Note: Sets the same static IP address as host as IP Sync is enabled.
DHCP	DHCP_Enabled	✔ DHCP in Use ✖ Shared Static IP ✖ IP Sync	RPS updates the device settings as per the profile. Deletes SubnetMask, DefaultGateway, IPAddress, PrimaryDNS, and SecondaryDNS.
DHCP	DHCP_Disabled	✔ DHCP in Use ✖ Shared Static IP ✖ IP Sync	RPS updates the device settings as per the profile. Set SubnetMask, DefaultGateway, IPAddress, PrimaryDNS, and SecondaryDNS.
