puppet-network

Manage non-volatile network configuration.

Examples

network_config { 'eth0':
  ensure  => 'present',
  family  => 'inet',
  method  => 'dhcp',
  onboot  => 'true',
  hotplug => 'true',
  options => {'pre-up' => 'sleep 2'},
}

network_config { 'lo':
  ensure => 'present',
  family => 'inet',
  method => 'loopback',
  onboot => 'true',
}

network_config { 'eth1':
  ensure    => 'present',
  family    => 'inet',
  ipaddress => '169.254.0.1',
  method    => 'static',
  netmask   => '255.255.0.0',
  onboot    => 'true',
}

Create resources on the fly with the puppet resource command:

root@debian-6:~# puppet resource network_config eth1 ensure=present family=inet method=static ipaddress=169.254.0.1 netmask=255.255.0.0
notice: /Network_config[eth1]/ensure: created
network_config { 'eth1':
  ensure    => 'present',
  family    => 'inet',
  ipaddress => '169.254.0.1',
  method    => 'static',
  netmask   => '255.255.0.0',
  onboot    => 'true',
}
