## Overview

Manage non-volatile network and route configuration.

## Usage

> [!NOTE]
> This module defines custom types (`network_config` and `network_route`) that require proper plugin synchronization. If you encounter errors like "Could not autoload puppet/type/network_config", you may need to run `puppet generate types` on your Puppet server (for Puppet 6+) or `puppet plugin download` (for older versions). See [issue #77](https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-network/issues/77) for more details.

Interface configuration

```puppet
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',
}
```

Route configuration

Route resources should be named in CIDR notation. If not, they will not be
properly mapped to existing routes and puppet will apply them on every run.
Default routes should be named 'default'.

For Debian:

```puppet
# default route
network_route { 'default':
  ensure    => 'present',
  network   => 'default',
  netmask   => '0.0.0.0',
  gateway   => '172.18.6.2',
  interface => 'enp3s0f0',
}

# specific route
network_route { '172.17.67.0/24':
  ensure    => 'present',
  gateway   => '172.18.6.2',
  interface => 'vlan200',
  netmask   => '255.255.255.0',
  options   => 'table 200',
}
```

For RedHat Enterprise:

```puppet
network_route { '172.17.67.0/24':
  ensure    => 'present',
  gateway   => '10.0.2.2',
  interface => 'eth0',
  netmask   => '255.255.255.0',
  network   => '172.17.67.0',
  options   => 'table 200',
}
network_route { 'default':
  ensure    => 'present',
  gateway   => '10.0.2.2',
  interface => 'eth0',
  netmask   => '0.0.0.0',
  network   => 'default'
}
network_route { '10.0.0.2':
  ensure    => 'present',
  network   => 'local',
  interface => 'eth0',
  options   => 'proto 66 scope host table local',
}
```

For SLES:

```puppet
network_route { 'default':
  ensure    => 'present',
  gateway   => '10.0.2.2',
  interface => 'eth0',
  netmask   => '0.0.0.0',
  network   => 'default'
}
```

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',
    }

# puppet resource network_route 23.23.42.0 ensure=present netmask=255.255.255.0 interface=eth0 gateway=192.168.1.1
    notice: /Network_route[23.23.42.0]/ensure: created
    network_route { '23.23.42.0':
      ensure    => 'present',
      gateway   => '192.168.1.1',
      interface => 'eth0',
      netmask   => '255.255.255.0',
      options   => 'table 200',
    }

## Dependencies

This module requires the FileMapper mixin, available at <https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-filemapper>.

The debian routes provider requires the package [ifupdown-extra](http://packages.debian.org/search?suite=all&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=ifupdown-extra).
`ifupdown-extra` can be installed automatically using the `network` class.
To use it, include it like so in your manifests:

```puppet
include 'network'
```

This class also provides fine-grained control over which packages to install and
how to install them. The documentation for the parameters exposed can be found
[here](https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-network/blob/master/manifests/init.pp).

Bonding on Debian requires the package [ifenslave](https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=all&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=ifenslave),
which is installed automatically when a bond is defined. This package was
renamed in Debian 9, and therefore bonding does not work on Debian
versions prior to 9.

Note: you may also need to update your master's plugins (run on your puppet master):

puppet agent -t --noop

Or on puppet 3.8.7/4.x:

puppet plugin download
