Changeable IP address of a device

✋ Feature Requests

Introduction

The SDK shall provide a standard way to manipulate IP Addresses. Both option should be possible - when the device is connected or not connected.

Assumptions

Right now, it is only possible - if a device vendor adds their own PropertyObject for manipulating the IP Address.
For this a user needs to be connected with the device already, before he can change the ip address. A connection is also via IPv6 possible.

Requirements

IP address changeable after connections: I as user would like to have the possibility to change the ip address of a network interface, after I connected with the device. This object should be under the device.

IP address changeable before connection: My device is in a different subnet but found via mdns. I as a User need to change the static IP address to be able to connect to it.

User Interaction

auto device = openDAQInstance.connect("daq://192.168.10.5");
for (networkObject : device.getNetworkInterfaces())
{
  networkObject.setType(daq::DHCP);
  networkObject.apply();
  // or
  networkObject.setIpAddress("192.168.0.1");
  networkObject.setType(daq::Static);
  networkObject.apply();
}

IP Changeable before connection:

auto deviceInfo = openDAQInstance.getAvailableDevices()[0]
deviceInfo.getNetworkInterfaces();
for (networkObject : device.getNetworkInterfaces())
{
  networkObject.setType(daq::DHCP);
  networkObject.apply();
  // or
  networkObject.setIpAddress("192.168.0.1");
  networkObject.setType(daq::Static);
  networkObject.apply();
}
