DHCP Wrapper

Description

Install and configure ISC DHCP by wrapping cookbook dhcp.

Can also configure network interfaces by the use of cookbook network_interfaces_v2, for instance to set a static address at the server and dhcp for the clients.

Usage

Easy Setup

Add recipe[dhcp-wrapper::server] in your run-list to install and configure DHCPD. Configuration will be fetched from attributes node['dhcp']. See cookbook dhcp documentation for more information.

Add recipe[dhcp-wrapper::client] to install a dhcp client.

Add recipe[dhcp-wrapper::network-interface] to configure your network interfaces. Configuration is fetched from attributes node['dhcp-wrapper']['network-interface'] which should match those of provider network_interface.

To see an example, look at .kitchen.yml.

Test

This cookbook is fully tested through the installation of a server and a node in docker hosts. This uses kitchen, docker and some monkey-patching.

If you run kitchen list, you will see 2 suites, Each corresponds to a different server:

• server-centos-7: DHCPD server listening on eth1
• node-centos-7: generic node with eth1 configured in dhcp

For more information, see .kitchen.yml and test directory.

Note: This configuration need a second interface which is provided by pipework. Because pipework need administrative priviledges, sudo access is required to create the dockers with kitchen create.

Changelog

Available in CHANGELOG.

Requirements

Cookbooks

Declared in metadata.rb.

Gems

Declared in Gemfile.

Platforms

• RHEL Family 7, tested on Centos

Note: it should work fine on Debian 8 but the official docker image does not allow systemd to work easily, so it could not be tested.

Attributes

Configuration is done by overriding default attributes. All configuration keys have a default defined in attributes/default.rb. Please read it to have a comprehensive view of what and how you can configure this cookbook behavior.

Recipes

default

Do nothing.

client

Install dhclient package.

server

Proxy for dhcp::server recipe. Please look at .kitchen.yml and dhcp documentation for more information.
