DynFi Manager: Ability to change primary connection/IP/DNS of device

Post by ltcadmin » 23 Jul 2023, 18:51

Currently I am unable to find a way to change the primary connection method of a added device. While one can add a secondary ("Edit backup connection addresses") method, the primary is hard set.
If a connection must be edited for IP/DNS change, the device must be deleted & re-created, purging configuration history.

This is correct.

In order to avoid all sorts of problems tied with device creation, we thought that It would be better NOT to allow editing a device after it has been setup.

Just wondering, is this something that can be re-thought? It would be great to be able to change the primary connection string without loosing the device history/configs etc.

Yes, this is something that can be rethought.
Today you should be able to use the secondary IP address and it shall be able to switch.

Salut @ltcadmin, merci pour tes précisions, je me posais justement la question sur la modification de la connexion principale. J’ai eu le même souci en testant plusieurs périphériques et effectivement, devoir tout supprimer pour changer l’adresse IP ou le DNS est un peu lourd. En parlant avec des collègues qui bossent dans la création de sites web professionnels, ils m’ont expliqué que lorsqu’ils déploient des serveurs ou des environnements de test, ils utilisent des outils qui permettent de modifier les connexions principales sans perdre la configuration existante, ce genre d’approche pourrait peut-être inspirer DynFi pour améliorer la gestion des périphériques. Cela éviterait pas mal de manipulations répétitives et de perte d’historique.
