Hi,
This is my Christmas Gift for the community :)
That's something that was haunting me for a long time: a way to manage
switch/routers directly from puppet.
Unfortunately most of the switches/routers don't run ruby natively and
as such can't run puppet.
Based on an open-space discussion that happened at PuppetCamp EU in May 2010, I
finally managed to find the time to implement a solution to this problem.
This is currently a Proof Of Concept of a puppet type/provider connecting
to remote cisco switch/routers running ios to manage:
* interfaces (including ip address, trunking, etc...)
* vlans
Awesome work, Brice!
I didn't solve the uniqueness of the name of an interface yet (currently
it isn't possible to have 2 switches with the same interface name, which is
an issue).
One possibility would be to use as interface name, the device_url.
If anyone has a better idea, let me know.
It sounds like a problem the composite titles were designed to solve. It
should be pretty easy to use something like
"ssh://user:[email protected]/FastEthernet/0/1"
as title. Perhaps this would even work with parameter defaults, though
I'm a bit hazy on the details here.
Please comment as usual :)
Like, with standing ovations? ;-)
Best Regards, David
