Setting txqueuelen in Puppet
Sid
We would like to set the txqueuelen on an ethernet interface in a
Linux box using Puppet. Has anyone done this before?

No, though I have done other similar level things. I would very
strongly advice that you use the network tools supplied with the OS,
and only ship their configuration through puppet to make them do this.
(eg: on Debian, in the /etc/network/interfaces file)
That way you will not, for example, have the tx queue the wrong size
at reboot until your first puppet run. :)

Daniel

post-up ifconfig $IFACE txqueuelen <size>
You will want to have a file resource for the /etc/network/interfaces
file and you will want to notify the networking service on changes.
(OS will not read this file unless you ifup and ifdown the interface,
thats why the networking service must be restarted.)
