Puppet Class: sys::ubuntu::network

Defined in:
manifests/ubuntu/network.pp

Overview

Class: sys::ubnutu::network

Class for creating the Ubuntu network configuration file.

Parameters

interfaces

A hash of mapping interfaces to their configuration. In other words, each key is a networking device to configure (e.g., ‘eth0’) and it’s value is another hash describing it’s configuration.

defaults

A hash containing default network configuration information.

Examples

Dynamically get network information for eth0:

class sys::ubuntu::network {
  interfaces => {
    'eth0' => {
      'method' => 'dhcp',
    }
  }
}

Have eth0 configured with DHCP and a static IP for eth1:

class sys::ubuntu::network {
  interfaces => {
    'eth0' => {
      'method'  => 'dhcp',
    },
    'eth1' => {
      'method'  => 'static',
      'address' => '192.168.1.100',
      'gateway' => '192.168.1.1',
    },
  }
}

Parameters:

  • interfaces (Any)
  • defaults (Any) (defaults to: { 'family' => 'inet', 'lo' => { 'family' => 'inet', 'method' => 'loopback' }, 'method' => 'dhcp', 'netmask' => '255.255.255.0', })
  • interfaces_file (Any) (defaults to: '/etc/network/interfaces')
  • template (Any) (defaults to: 'sys/ubuntu/interfaces.erb')
