Hi Team
I have queries related to network route configuration support
1. Can we have "Metric" as optional configuration parameter associated with each Static IPv4 address object? This Metric configuration enables client to control route priorities as needed.
2. Can we add StaticRoute configuration support so that clients can add specific static routes needed? There is a property "UseStaticRoutes" which indicates whether the interface uses DHCP v4-supplied static routes. similarly StaticRoute configuration enables clients to add StaticRoutes as needed

I'll need to do some digging on this and ask around; I'm not very savvy in this level of networking detail.

For (1) On a system with two interfaces; say eth0 and eth1 - when they are set with IP addresses belonging to the same subnet, we need a way to set the routing priorities on the routing table. Otherwise, kernel adds two default routes for the same subnet on both interfaces, and its not guaranteed as which interface is actually responding to the incoming packets. Setting the route priorities is achieved via the 'Metric' value in the routing table. For a dynamic address assignment(eg: DHCPv4), networkd assigns 1024 as the metric value by default. There is currently no way to set this Metric value for a Static configuration via Redfish PATCH command on EthernetInterface.
For (2) Static route configuration interface will help in setting up the system's network in such a way that, user can add another device(say a redfish client) to reach the system via a specific controlled route, other than using the default routes. This enables to have client and server at two different geo locations & two independent network zones.
