DMTF Redfish® from release 2020.2 supports networking registries for physical layer faults. We are looking to work within the DMTF to extend the current NetworkDevice.1.0.1 registry messages supported in release 2020.2 to include link layer and control plane faults. Networking devices such as Ethernet switches or server hosted SmartNICs can then make use of those registry messages in an open, vendor neutral manner. The following table lists those events and proposed additions.
