Network settings control module

[SyRenity]

Hi.

Can someone recommend a good module for network control?

Regards.

I need to switch machines from DHCP to static IP, any good module for
this?

Regards.

We would need a lot more information to be helpful - what OS are you using, or what distribution if Linux, and how do you want to control the ip's for machines - variables, a database, ldap?

CentOS 5.5, variables for now.

I'm using foreman, so storing these values in DB comes with it.

I use this for rhel/foreman:

init.pp

class network {

        tag("bootstrap")

                file { "ifcfg-eth0":

                                path => "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0",

                                owner => root,

                                group => root,

                                mode => 644,

                                content => template("network/ifcfg.erb"),

                                ensure => present,

                                notify => Service[network],

                }

                file { "network":

                                path => "/etc/sysconfig/network",

                                owner => root,

                                group => root,

                                mode => 644,

                                content => template("network/network.erb"),

                                notify => Service[network],

                }

        service { network:

                                ensure => "running",

                                hasstatus => "true",

                                hasrestart => "true",

                                restart => "/etc/init.d/network restart",

        }

}

[root@hlslinutil1]/root/puppet/modules/testing/network/templates# cat ifcfg.erb

DEVICE=eth0

BOOTPROTO=static

ONBOOT=yes

TYPE=Ethernet

IPADDR=<%= ip %>

BROADCAST=xxx

NETMASK=xxx

NETWORK=xxx

[root@hlslinutil1]/root/puppet/modules/testing/network/templates# cat network.erb

NETWORKING=yes

HOSTNAME=<%= fqdn %>

GATEWAY=10.241.209.1

I actually have it slightly more complicated as I modified foreman to provide ip and then I have extra checks in the erb like:

<% if ip =~ /10.241.209/ %>

BROADCAST=10.241.209.255

NETMASK=255.255.255.0

NETWORK=10.241.209.0

Hopefully that'll start you on the right path.

Regards.

Thanks - this gives me a good direction how to start indeed!

Regards.
