Hardware Certification #

How a model of hardware is certified for a role. The records are under Certification → Hardware.

What is certified #

A model at a hardware revision, for a role. The same model in a different role, or at a different hardware revision, is a separate certification. Hardware revisions do change what a board carries, such as the NIC chipset.

It is evaluated with the software it will run: the OS and driver are part of what is tested, because a NIC’s maturity depends on the driver. The record names the software it was tested with. That software’s own certification is separate ( Software Certification).

Software Certification

Software Certification #

How a release line of a product is certified for a role. The records are under Certification → Software.

What is certified #

A release line of a product, for a role: OPNsense 26.7 as the core router, Proxmox VE 9 as a hypervisor, Grafana 13 as the tenant dashboards. Device firmware is software, and is certified the same way.

A line, not a version. Patch releases inherit the line’s certification. Before a patch is applied, its release notes are read. If they change something a criterion depends on, the patch is re-checked against that criterion, and the result is a dated addendum on the line’s record. A new line is a new revision.

Certification Record Template #

The shape of a certification: one item page per model or product, and one revision page per evaluation beneath it. Copy the skeletons below.

Where it goes #

	Hardware	Software
Item	`content/docs/platforms/certification/hardware/<layer>/<model>/_index.md`	`content/docs/platforms/certification/software/<layer>/<product>/_index.md`
Revision	`…/<model>/<YYYY-MM>-hw-<revision>.md`, e.g. `2026-10-hw-1-20.md`	`…/<product>/<line>.md`, e.g. `26-7.md`
Layer	`network`, `management-plane` or `tenant-compute`, as on Implementation & Tooling	the same, or `tooling` for build and automation tools
Item title	The model, e.g. “TP-Link SG2218”	The product, e.g. “OPNsense”
Revision title	“2026-10 · hardware 1.20”	“26.7”
Weight	The first revision is `1000`, and each new one is one lower, so the newest sorts first	the same
Index	Add the item to its layer page, and to Certification	the same

Add bookCollapseSection: true to every item page, so its revisions stay folded in the sidebar.
