Provision is the most important use case for me. But I think there are two ways provision could be done. 1. Provide a default configuration .config file that sets the Ethernet defaults to something static instead of DHCPv4. This would be good to do some default factory configuration. 2. Allow the user to configure the disconnected device the same way as if the device was connected. This means the user can change the settings of an unplugged device to a static configuration or to DHCP as he likes. As soon as the device gets connected this settings are used. In our case the both would be helpful but the second case is more important. > DHCPv4 works out of the box already now when the cable is connected. > Nothing is needed for that use case. > Yes DHCP is already working, but the problem here is that the user doesn't know how the device is configured if it is unplugged as it simply doesn't show up. So I think it would be nice if the device is in an unplugged state for example but the IPv4/6Configuration and still intact.
