Is there a planned feature for optional L2 configuration for applications to be installed or updated?

0
We need a solution that allows users to install an application with features requiring L2 configuration, even if the L2 network is not initially configured for the IED.   We want to manage these features internally: if the IED has the L2 configuration, then execute branch A; otherwise, execute branch B. However, the IED currently denies the installation of the application if the L2 network is not provided.   Is there anything on the roadmap that meets this requirement? If so, when will it be available?

Hello Yasin,

 

What is the Use behind this? Would'nt it be an option that the customer simply enables the L2 access?

 

Furthermore, have you thought about using the Ressource Manager to isolate a NIC for your application instead of L2? The NIC will be isolated from the Edge Runtime and is in full control of your application. 

 

Ressource Manager Ressources can be configured as optional, which would fulfill your requirement.
