Hi,
As per redfish.dmtf.org/schemas/v1/EthernetInterface.v1_6_4.json, we have IPv4StaticAddresses, IPv4Addresses data type as array.
But for ethernetinterface instance it can have only one value(s) and it can be object only(can have one value for each attributes Address, subnetmask, Gateway, addressorigin attributes)
IPV6 addresses can be array data type

Please confirm whether we have use case applicable for considering IPv4StaticAddresses, IPv4Addresses data type as Array?

Thanks,
Mani

Yes, it's intentional that those properties are arrays. While it's not very common, there are some examples of interfaces that support multiple IPv4 addresses simultaneously. Ultimately what you support for your array size will depend on the capabilities of your service.
