Nipart Base Interface support

All interface types supported by Nipart support this YAML structure:

---
version: 1
interfaces:
- name: eth1
  type: veth
  iface-index: 8
  state: up
  link-state: up
  controller: bond0
  mac-address: CE:67:51:EC:E2:6A
  permanent-mac-address: CE:67:51:EC:E2:6A
  mtu: 1500
  min-mtu: 68
  max-mtu: 65535
  ipv4:
    enabled: false
  ipv6:
    enabled: false

name – Interface name

The kernel name of interface

type – Interface type

The type of interface, e.g. veth, bond, bridge, etc.

iface-index - Interface index

The kernel index of the interface. Query only property.

state - Interface state

The management state of the interface:

• up: the interface is administratively up
• down: the interface is administratively down
• absent: apply only property, request nipart to delete this interface or restore physical interface to kernel default state
• ignore: Not managed by nipart
• up-ignore: Interface is administratively up but not managed by nipart
• down-ignore: Interface is administratively down but not managed by nipart

link-state – Link state

Query only property. Interface carrier state:

• up: the interface has carrier
• down: the interface does not have carrier
• dormant: the interface is dormant, e.g. a wireless interface in power saving mode
• lower-layer-down: the interface is down due to lower layer failure, e.g. a physical interface is down
• testing: the interface is in testing mode

controller - Controller interface

The kernel interface name of the controller interface.

When applying, setting this property to empty string means detach from its current controller. When applying, setting this property to a non-empty string means attach to the controller interface.

mac-address - MAC address

The current MAC address of the interface.

When applying, setting this property to empty string means restore the permanent MAC address. When applying, setting this property to a non-empty string means set the MAC address.

permanent-mac-address - Permanent MAC address

Query only property. The permanent MAC address of the interface

mtu - MTU

MTU of the interface

min-mtu - Minimum MTU

Query only property. The minimum MTU supported by the interface

max-mtu - Maximum MTU

Query only property. The maximum MTU supported by the interface

ipv4 and ipv6 - IP configuration

Please check IP configuration for details.
