I assume you want to add VLANs to the newly created bond0, that would be: cobbler system edit --name=system1 --add-interface=bond0.10 --ip=10.1.1.1 --subnet=255.255.255.0 cobbler system edit --name=system2 --add-interface=bond0.11 --ip=10.1.2.1 --subnet=255.255.255.0

But, if you don't want to configure all interfaces from the cobbler snippets, but just want to make sure the installer-interface is configured correctly you only have to define one interface in Cobbler, and solve the rest with your other snippets (that's the way I'm doing this right now). An other option is not to define /any/ MAC-addresses, it would (should? we might want to test this) just fall back to DHCP for the installer, and you can use your own snippets to configure your networking. If you got any ideas on how this might be improved: I'm open to suggestions! :) Jasper _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
