[nEdge] Change routing policy or WAN interface ip/down by REST API

[simmoor]

What would you like to add or change?:

We would like to build an easy-to-use GUI for our (non IT-professional) users to be able to switch on/off different WAN interfaces in our nedge appliance.
The use case is having WANs such as Starlink/Oneweb/LTE on a vessel and let the crew manually select WANs depending on data volume contracts / availability, etc.
I imagine this could be either done by enabling/disabling a WAN interface or by switching options in the "routing policies". However this seems not to be available as a REST API option, does it?

Our system: ntopng edge v.6.4.251016 (Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS) in router mode

Why do you and others need this?:

It would be great to have such options in order to automatize WAN-handling or build custom UIs using the REST API.

I think I found the answer myself:

# Find/list interfaces:
$ curl -k -s -u user:password -H 'accept: application/json' https://172.16.100.53//lua/pro/rest/v2/get/nedge/interfaces.lua
{"rc_str":"OK","rsp":[{"ifname":"eth0","role":"unused","label":"eth0"},{"ifname":"eth1","role":"unused","label":"eth1"},[...]]}

# Enable WAN
$ curl -k -s -u user:password -H 'accept: application/json' https://nedge/lua/pro/rest/v2/set/nedge/interface/state.lua -d "interface=eth1&enabled=true"
{"rc":0,"rsp":[],"rc_str_hr":"Success","rc_str":"OK"}

# Disable WAN
$ curl -k -s -u user:password -H 'accept: application/json' https://nedge/lua/pro/rest/v2/set/nedge/interface/state.lua -d "interface=eth1&enabled=false"
{"rc":0,"rsp":[],"rc_str_hr":"Success","rc_str":"OK"}
