4.7 quality score

We run a couple of automated
scans to help you access a
module's quality. Each module is
given a score based on how well
the author has formatted their
code and documentation and
modules are also checked for
malware using VirusTotal.

Please note, the information below
is for guidance only and neither of
these methods should be considered
an endorsement by Puppet.

DHCP module for Puppet

Build Status Release Puppet Forge Puppet Forge - downloads Puppet Forge - endorsement Puppet Forge - scores puppetmodule.info docs Apache-2.0 License

Overview

Installs and manages a DHCP server.

Features

  • Multiple subnet support
  • Host reservations
  • Secure dynamic DNS updates when combined with Bind
  • Can create a dummy (ignored) subnet so that the server can be used only as a helper-address target

Usage

Define the server and the zones it will be responsible for.

class { 'dhcp':
  service_ensure => running,
  dnsdomain      => [
    'dc1.example.net',
    '1.0.10.in-addr.arpa',
  ],
  nameservers  => ['10.0.1.20'],
  ntpservers   => ['us.pool.ntp.org'],
  interfaces   => ['eth0'],
  dnsupdatekey => '/etc/bind/keys.d/rndc.key',
  dnskeyname   => 'rndc-key',
  require      => Bind::Key['rndc-key'],
  pxeserver    => '10.0.1.50',
  pxefilename  => 'pxelinux.0',
  omapi_port   => 7911,
}

dhcp::pool

Define the pool attributes. This example will create a pool, which serves IPs of two different ranges in the same network.

May be passed as a hash into the DHCP class.

dhcp::pool{ 'ops.dc1.example.net':
  network => '10.0.1.0',
  mask    => '255.255.255.0',
  range   => ['10.0.1.10 10.0.1.100', '10.0.1.200 10.0.1.250' ],
  gateway => '10.0.1.1',
}

dhcp::ignoredsubnet

Define a subnet that will be ignored - useful for making the DHCP server only respond to requests forwarded by switches etc.

May be passed as a hash into the DHCP class.

dhcp::ignoredsubnet{ 'eth0':
  network => '10.0.0.0',
  mask    => '255.255.255.0',
}

dhcp::host

Create host reservations.

May be passed as a hash into the DHCP class.

dhcp::host { 'server1':
  comment            => 'Optional descriptive comment',
  mac                => '00:50:56:00:00:01',
  ip                 => '10.0.1.51',
  # Optionally override subnet/global settings for some hosts.
  default_lease_time => 600,
  max_lease_time     => 900,
  # Optionally declare event statements in any combination.
  on_commit => [
    'set ClientIP = binary-to-ascii(10, 8, ".", leased-address)',
    'execute("/usr/local/bin/my_dhcp_helper.sh", ClientIP)'
  ],
  on_release => [
    'set ClientIP = binary-to-ascii(10, 8, ".", leased-address)',
    'log(concat("Released IP: ", ClientIP))'
  ],
  on_expiry => [
    'set ClientIP = binary-to-ascii(10, 8, ".", leased-address)',
    'log(concat("Expired IP: ", ClientIP))'
  ]
}

parameters

Parameters are available to configure pxe or ipxe

Boot ipxe from pxe. When configured this overrides pxefilename. For more information see ipxe.org.

class { 'dhcp':
  ipxe_filename  => 'undionly.kpxe',
  ipxe_bootstrap => 'bootstrap.kpxe',
  pxeserver      => '10.0.1.50',
}
