Puppet Network Module

Module for configuring network interfaces.

Usage

By including the network class you get a basic configuration with only a loopback interface:

include ::network

You can enable the eth0 interface configured with DHCP:

class { '::network':
  interfaces => {
    'eth0' => {
      'method' => 'dhcp',
    }
  },
  auto => ['eth0'],
}

Or you can enable the eth0 interface with a static configuration:

class { '::network':
  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 => {
    '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 => {
    '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'],
}
