# ansible-network



Configure network devices on a target host.



## Requirements



### Ansible version



Minimum required ansible version is 2.0.



### Other considerations



For real devices, you must know your devices' names beforehand. You also need

to have `python-netaddr` on your control machine.



```bash

sudo pip install python-netaddr

```



## Description



Configure network devices on a target host. This roles aims to provide a seemless

rhel or debian derivatives configuration experience.



### Templates



There are 4 templates.



For FEDORA | RHEL | CENTOS

  * Redhat_routes.j2      -> routes-* configuration files

  * Redhat_device.j2      -> ifcfg-* device files in `/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/`



For DEBIAN | UBUNTU

  * Debian_interfaces.j2  -> main file `/etc/network/interfaces`

  * Debian_devices.j2     -> device file that goes in `/etc/network/interfaces.d/`



### Configuration table



List of variables to describing a device



```

| variable      | description                                        | value               | type |

| type          | device type                                        | see type table      | dict |

| stp           | on by default, force stp off when device == bridge | on,off              | dict |

```



* type=ovsbridge is supported

* stp is always enabled for bridge devices unless you explicitly turn it off

* `bootproto` defaults to 'dhcp' if ommited

* gw is also used by ip route to set the gateway

* if list contains multiple ips, secondary ips will be add

* if and ipv6 addr is not in cidr notation, will default to a /64 prefix.

* ipv6 is always enabled.



Device types



```

| value     | description                   |

|-----------|-------------------------------|

| Ethernet  | real physical ethernet device |

| Bridge    | built-in linux bridge         |

| ovsbridge | openvswitch bridge            |

| bond      | bond several devices together |

| 6to4      | 6to4 tunnel                   |

```



_Notes_

  * bond support not yet implemented

  * to detrunk a vlan, simply create a device using `.` as device name



*Routes*



```

| Variables | description  | value                                       | type |

|-----------|--------------|---------------------------------------------|------|

| to        | route target | cidr ip (or any value accepted by ip route) | dict |

| gw        | gw device    | /32 ip address*                             | dict |

```



Notes:

  * if no specific gw is provided, it will default to the device gateway

  * to avoid duplicate default gateway, routes are defined for each devices based on subnet and subnet mask



### Interesting Tips



¡This sections needs a cleanup!



List all fedora|rhel|centos usable device options.



```bash

cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts && grep -r -E -o '\{[a-zA-Z0-9]+\}'  | grep -E -i -I -v 'device|1|2|down|ppp|down' | uniq -u

```



```bash

# quick nating using nftables wip

sudo nft add table nat

sudo nft add chain nat prerouting { type nat hook prerouting priority 0 \; }

sudo nft add rule nat postrouting masquerade

```



*lxc bridge nating*



Replace vars with according to your needs.



```bash

LXC_BRIDGE=lxcbr0

LXC_NETWORK=192.168.0.1

use_iptables_lock="-w"

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

iptables $use_iptables_lock -I INPUT -i ${LXC_BRIDGE} -p udp --dport 67 -j ACCEPT

iptables $use_iptables_lock -I INPUT -i ${LXC_BRIDGE} -p tcp --dport 67 -j ACCEPT

iptables $use_iptables_lock -I INPUT -i ${LXC_BRIDGE} -p udp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT

iptables $use_iptables_lock -I INPUT -i ${LXC_BRIDGE} -p tcp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT

iptables $use_iptables_lock -I FORWARD -i ${LXC_BRIDGE} -j ACCEPT

iptables $use_iptables_lock -I FORWARD -o ${LXC_BRIDGE} -j ACCEPT

iptables $use_iptables_lock -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s ${LXC_NETWORK} ! -d ${LXC_NETWORK} -j MASQUERADE

iptables $use_iptables_lock -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -o ${LXC_BRIDGE} -p udp -m udp --dport 68 -j CHECKSUM --checksum-fill

```



*enable ipv6 forwarding on bridge*



```bash

LXC_BRIDGE=lxcbr0

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding

echo 2 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/accept_ra

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/accept_ra_from_local

s sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra_from_local=1

s sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra_defrtr=1



echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/${LXC_BRIDGE}/forwarding

echo 2 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/${LXC_BRIDGE}/accept_ra

s sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.lxcbr0.accept_ra_from_local=1



echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/${LXC_BRIDGE}/autoconf

echo 0 \> /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/\${LXC\_BRIDGE}/accept\_dad || true



LXC_BRIDGE=lxcbr0

## Role Variables



### Variables conditionally loaded



Those variables from `vars/*.{yml,json}` are loaded dynamically during task

runtime using the `include_vars` module.



Variables loaded from `vars/main.yml`.



```yaml

# vars file for network



```



Variables loaded from `vars/Debian.yml`.



```yaml

network_pkgs:

  - bridge-utils

  - ifenslave



network_ovs_service: openvswitch-nonetwork.service

network_ovs_pkg: openvswitch-switch



network_conf_path: "/etc/network/interfaces.d"

network_device_file_prefix: ''



```



Variables loaded from `vars/RedHat.yml`.



```yaml

network_pkgs:

  - libselinux-python

  - bridge-utils

  - iputils



network_ovs_service: openvswitch.service

network_ovs_pkg: openvswitch



network_conf_path: "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts"

network_device_file_prefix: "ifcfg-"



```



### Default vars



Defaults from `defaults/main.yml`.



```yaml

# defaults file for network



network_pkg_state: latest



# device defaults

network_onboot: 'yes'

network_peerdns: 'no'

network_device_type: Ethernet



# ethernet defaults

network_ethernet_linkdelay: 1



# bridge defaults

network_bridge_delay: 1



# ipv4 defaults

network_ipv4_fatal: 'no'



# RHEL ipv6 defaults

network_ipv6_init: 'yes'

network_ipv6_fatal: 'no'

network_ipv6_autoconf: 'no'

network_ipv6_router: 'no'

network_ipv6_forwarding: 'no'



# Debian ifupdown ipv6 defaults

# see http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/wily/en/man5/interfaces.5.html



# accept_ra default value differ according to method

#   dhcp -> 1

#   static -> 2

#   auto -> 2

network_accept_ra: 1        # (0=off, 1=on, 2=on+forwarding)

network_dhcp: 0             # auto method -> use stateless DHCPv6 (0=off, 1=on)



network_autoconf: 0         # Perform stateless autoconfiguration (0=off, 1=on)

network_dad_attempts: 60    # Number of attempts to settle DAD (0 to disable)

network_dad_interval: 0.1   # DAD state polling interval in seconds



# prevent deletion on cleanup

network_unmanaged_devices:

  - lo

  - ovs-system

  - vboxnet0

  - vibr0



```



## Installation



### Install with Ansible Galaxy



```shell

ansible-galaxy install archf.network

```



Basic usage is:



```yaml

- hosts: all

  roles:

    - role: archf.network

```



### Install with git



If you do not want a global installation, clone it into your `roles_path`.



```shell

git clone [email protected]:archf/ansible-network.git /path/to/roles_path

```



But I often add it as a submdule in a given `playbook_dir` repository.



```shell

git submodule add [email protected]:archf/ansible-network.git /roles/network

```



As the role is not managed by Ansible Galaxy, you do not have to specify the

github user account.



Basic usage is:



```yaml

- hosts: all

  roles:

  - role: network

```



## Ansible role dependencies



None.



## Todo



  * improve route template (scope & type support)

  * improve device handler -> reconfigure live ip addr with ip commands

  * improve device handler -> reconfigure live routes with ip commands

  * make it work on ubuntu//debian



## License

## Role stack



This role was carefully selected to be part an ultimate deck of roles to manage

your infrastructure.



All roles' documentation is wrapped in this [convenient guide](http://127.0.0.1:8000/).
