About the Chapter 8.(SMBIOS support) of Redfish Host Interface Spec 1.3.0.
Can I consider it should be display "Redfish over IP Protocol" related info if we execute "dmidecode -t 42" in Ubuntu OS?
The example may like attached pic.
Those smbios info are provided from Redfish, so it should matched when I get the info via Redfish Service (GET method).
Also shall we follow the Table 6 (USB Network Interface v2) if the redfish service support Credential Bootstrapping?

Thanks.

That sort of capability would certainly be useful for dmidecode. The example output looks good to me.

The USB Network Interface v2 and PCI/PCIe Network Interface v2 SMBIOS tables are not necessarily required to support Credential Bootstrapping. It's possible to support Credential Bootstrapping without the v2 tables. However, the v2 tables are required if you want to advertise the capability to the host OS. It's certainly useful to follow the v2 tables to make it easier for the OS consuming the data to discover the support of Credential Bootstrapping.
