CIM naming
----------
As you can see, the nice names "configs", "devices", "routes",
etc. are gone. Welcome to CIM!
WORK-IN-PROGRESS: the REST aspect is not covered now, because the way
CIM composes the data using subclassed associations makes it hard to
figure out, and below are only guesses. A Confusingly Irritating Model :-)
note to XML:
- I use the usual ruby attributes like type=array/boolean.
- Additionally I use <Foo value='80'>HTTP</> to combine CIM
enumerations (Value+ValueMap)
- CIM is CamelCase. We may want to adapt_it_to_ruby
CIM_NetworkPort means "network interface", not a "(TCP/IP )protocol
port"
(hierarchy: EthernetPort: NetworkPort: LogicalPort: LogicalDevice:
EnabledLogicalElement: LogicalElement: ManagedSystemElement: ManagedElement)
/NetworkPort/eth0
<EthernetPort>

<!-- EthernetPort -->

LogicalDevice has a m:n Realizes association with Core:PhysicalElement, not
sure how to model it in REST

)
the Association ElementSettingData connects ManagedElement and SettingData
(compare NetworkManager's ActiveConnection)
<ElementSettingData>

<SettingData>/IPAssignmentSettingData/eth0</>
<IsDefault value="1">Is Default</> <!--0:Unknown, 2:Is Not Default -->
<IsCurrent value="1">Is Current</>
</>
TODO! how is all this bound to /NetworkPort/eth0?
SAPSAPDependency?
ActiveConnection?
resolver (DNS client) configuration

(NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SERVERS)
/DNSSettingData
<DNSSettingData>
<AddressOrigin value='3'>Static</>
<DNSServerAddresses type='array'> <!-- CIM: string[] -->

(BTW it seems that netconfig does not enable dissassociating AddressOrigin
for these two)
