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](.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](.kitchen.yml) and [test](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.

Requirements

Cookbooks

Declared in [metadata.rb](metadata.rb).

Gems

Declared in [Gemfile](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](attributes/default.rb).
Please read it to have a comprehensive view of what and how you can configure
this cookbook behavior.
