[chef] Re: Managing network interfaces

["Ryan C. Creasey" < >]

I've played around with managing auxiliary interfaces on my nodes (eth1, loopback aliases, etc) for some of our DSR nodes and took the easy way out and had the recipe manage the templates to the "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-#{interface[:device]}" (yes, we're redhat based).

I'd also be interested to hear other use cases for interface management with chef.

Hi,

I have to manage some network interfaces, routes and and ipip tunnels.
I know about chef's route and ifconfig resource. But I'd like to know
experiences of people playing with these sensitive stuff, specially
about configuring network interfaces, is the resource reliable enough?
does it work with virtual interfaces?

Thanks :)
