Description
On the interface edit page, it would be great to see which ports are connected / have a link. This helps when manually provisioning a host where you don't know which ports have been connected.
This is still relevant, few updates
1) we already have link attribute on interface level, it's based on custom facts that are set by FDI
2) the UI seems to be broken, the first column in the interface tab does not show anything (perhaps regression from react rewrite?)
3) it would be great to also mark the boot device with a flag (like primary/provision) based on the discovery_bootif fact (we may be even doing that already)
the use case is, after wiring a new baremetal to datacenter, it shows up as discovered host, it's not clear which out of x interfaces the datacenter operator plugged the cable into, so displaying that in the UI would be a great feature
