Module for configuring network interfaces.
Tested on Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 Squeeze and Ubuntu 10.4 LTS with Puppet 2.6. Patches for other operating systems are welcome.
Clone this repo to a network directory under your Puppet modules directory:
git clone git://github.com/uggedal/puppet-module-network.git network
If you don't have a Puppet Master you can create a manifest file based on the notes below and run Puppet in stand-alone mode providing the module directory you cloned this repo to:
puppet apply --modulepath=modules test_network.pp
By including the network::interfaces class you get a basic configuration
with only a loopback interface:
include network::interfaces
You can enable the eth0 interface configured with DHCP:
class { "network::interfaces":
interfaces => {
"eth0" => {
"method" => "dhcp",
}
},
auto => ["eth0"],
}
Or you can enable the eth0 interface with a static configuration:
class { "network::interfaces":
interfaces => {
"eth0" => {
"method" => "static",
"address" => "10.0.0.50",
"netmask" => "255.255.255.0",
"gateway" => "10.0.0.1",
}
},
auto => ["eth0"],
}
It's also possible to create two interfaces on the same ethernet device:
class { "network::interfaces":
interfaces => {
"eth0" => {
"method" => "static",
"address" => "10.0.0.50",
"netmask" => "255.255.255.0",
"gateway" => "10.0.0.1",
}
"eth0:1" => {
"method" => "static",
"address" => "10.0.0.60",
"netmask" => "255.255.255.0",
}
},
auto => ["eth0", "eth0:1"],
}
You can create pseudo interfaces which are useful for handling different wireless networks:
class { "network::interfaces":
interfaces => {
"work" => {
"method" => "dhcp",
"wpa-ssid" => "work-wlan",
"wpa-psk" => "supersecretkey",
}
"open" => {
"method" => "dhcp",
"wireless-essid" => "open-wlan",
}
},
mappings => {
"wlan0" => {
"script" => "guessnet-ifupdown",
"maps" => ["timeout: 5", "work"],
}
},
auto => ["wlan0"],
}
