Case Statement for setting IP addresses

[James Taylor]

Hello all,

I am working with an issue that has me tied up in knots. I have a group of machines that will have structured names (i.e. prj-sfo-ibm-102.foo.com). I want to use the host name to assign IP addresses to the machine, since each host name has a locator (sfo), vendor (ibm), and node number ("1" signifies a virtual machine and the "02" is the node number). Here is what I have come up with:

__________________________

node /^prj-(sfo|nyc)-(ibm|apple|maxtor|quantum|intel)-1(0|1)(0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9)\.foo\.com$/ {

    $h = split($hostname,"-")

    $site = $h[1]

    $vendor = $h[2]

    case $vendor {


        ibm :        {

            $net    =    "10.227.140."
            $mask    =    "255.255.255.248"
            $ip    =    "171"
            $addr    =    $net$ip

        }

        default:    {

            notice { "Vendor item in hostname is out of scope."},
            err { "Vendor item in hostname is out of scope."},

        }

    }


    file {"/root/temp.txt":

        content    =>    "
$hostname $site $vendor $net $mask $ip $addr
",

        owner    =>    root,
        group    =>    group,
               

            }

}

__________________________

I am using the hostname prj-sfo-ibm-102.foo.com but the structure keeps breaking with a "Syntax error at '}'; expected '}' at /etc/puppet/manifests/nodes.pp:19 on node prj-sfo-ibm-102.foo.com"

I have looked in a couple of books and a number of websites, the structure looks correct... A little help?

Using parentheses for the notice and err functions instead of braces should get you past the syntax error.

notice("Vendor item in hostname is out of scope."),
err("Vendor item in hostname is out of scope."),

Ok,

I found the problem.

On the line with:

            $addr    =    $net$ip

Should look like this:

            $addr    =    "$net$ip"


Plus a quick "thank you" to Peter Bukowinski for the correction, I have clean running test code.
