Fields needed: * a drop down for the list of nics and bonded interfaces on the node * a drop down with the list of boot types (from the boot_types table) * an additional field is present when there are bondings on the node, labeled "Enslaved to bonding" (or something similar), that, when selected, shows a dropdown of the bonded interfaces * (opt) field for setting the IP address for the nic * (opt) field for setting the netmask for the nic * (opt) field for settign the broadcast address for the nic * a drop down with the list of bonded interfaces for the node * a section for defining a new bonded interface, including: * a drop down to select the type of bonding (from bonding_types table) * a field to enter the alias for the bonding * a submit button for the bonding details * a submit button to delete the bonded interface Use cases: 1. Configuring a nic with a static IP address: * the user selects a nic from the drop down * the user selects "Static" from the boot type drop down * the ip address, netmask and broadcast fields are show * the user enters the three pieces of data and submits * the nics table is updated 2. Configuring a nic for DHCP or BOOTP: * the user selects a nic from the drop down * the user selects either "DHCP" or "BOOTP" from the boot type drop down * the user submits * the nics table is updated 3. Creating a bonded interface: * the user enters the IP address, netmask and broadcast details for the bonded interface * the user clicks the submit button * a new record is inserted into the bondings table 4. Deleting a bonded interface: * the user selects a bonded interface from the drop down * the details are shown in the fields * the user clicks the delete button * the row is removed from the bondings table * any nic previously enslaved to that interface is set to "DHCP" 5. Enslaving a nic to a bonded interface: * the user selects a nic * the user selects the "Enslaved" boot type * the drop down listing the bonded interface is shown * the user selects a bonded interface and clicks submit * a new record is created in the bondings_nics table 6. Releasing a nic from a bonded interface: * the user selects the nic * the user selects a different boot type * the bonded interface list is hidden * updating the nic continues like use case 1/2 above I think this is a good starting point.
