Description

The module is under development.

A Puppet module that installs and configures Netplan.

Setup

Setup Requirements

The following dependencies are required to use the module:

• concat >= ‘7.4.0’

Beginning with netplan

To start using the module, you need to add it to the manifest. Then, create resources with a description of the interfaces and routes. For example:

include netplan
netplan::interface { 'ens3': addresses => ['192.168.0.1/24'] }
netplan::route { 'Added new route for Office net': dev => 'ens3', to => '172.10.0.1/16', via => '192.168.0.1' }

Usage

The module can create interfaces for bonds and for VLANs. Here are examples of different configurations.

If you need to reset all the addresses from the interface before applying the new configuration

netplan::interface { 'ens3':
  flush     => true,
  addresses => ['10.10.0.10/32']
}

Any additional parameters can be added through the $opts key

netplan::interface { 'ens3':
  opts      => {'mtu' => 1500},
  addresses => ['10.10.0.10/32']
}

Example of Bond interface configuration

netplan::interface { 'bond0':
  type      => 'bonds',
  opts      => {
    'interfaces' => ['ens3', 'ens4'],
    'parameters' => {
      'mode'      => '802.3ad',
      'lacp-rate' => 'fast'
    }
  },
  addresses => ['10.10.0.10/32']
}

Similarly, you can build a VLAN interface

netplan::interface { 'vlan20':
  type      => 'vlan',
  opts      => {
    'link' => 'bond0',
    'id'   => 20
  },
  addresses => ['10.10.0.10/32']
}

Limitations

• There are no tests to check the module works

Development

• I need help adding snippets for working with different tunnels, such as Wireguard. TODO: Initialize basic wireguard support
