Hi all,
I'm trying to wrap my brain around this one and could use a little
help/guidance. I have need to deploy software based on the network a system is
in.
Has anyone had need or been able to do the following?:
(Pseudo code)
If 123.123.123.123 is in 123.123.123.0/24 or 234.234.234.234.0/24 (list/array
of networks it could belong to) then ensure package is present.
-or-
If 123.123.123.123 is in 123.123.123.0/255.255.255.0 then ensure package is
present.
Yes I suppose a case statement would work better.
Now I know from Facter I have the following _easily_ at my disposal: ipaddress
and netmask. As easy as it would be to use the network_eth0 to get what network
the host is in I'm a little hesitant to go down that route since I can't rely
on the eth0 part network_eth0 being consistent. Fedora 15, for example, is
using a new naming convention for their Ethernet interfaces. Mine is em1. I
suppose I could figure out the eth0/em1 part by using the ipaddress and
interfaces fact and use it to figure out the network_eth0/em1 and that would
give me the network address. But this just seems like really too much freakin'
work.
Anyone have anything simple and elegant? Is there some glaring feature of
puppet/facter that I've overlooked that says ..."Duh!"
As always any help in advance is appreciated,
Kris
