Ansible role - Interface - BETA (only for Ansible 2.3.3.0)

This role serves for network interface configuration on debian-based systems.

Requirements

• Ansible version 2.3.3.0

• This role requires root access, so you either need to specify become directive as a global or while invoking the role.

  become: yes

• Also requires Ansible variables, therefore do not disable directive gather_facts.

Example

Example of the simplest network interface configuration that

roles:
    - role: interface
      interface_interfaces:
          - interface_mac: 01:23:45:67:89:ab
            interface_mtu: 1442

Maintainer notes

This role is primarily used for KYPO sandbox networking and due to usage of tool without ongoing maintenance, it is necessary that this role supports at most Ansible version 2.3.3.0. This version contains some bugs and limitations and therefore this role has to take as argument list of interface configurations instead of configuration for single interface.
