#puppet-arptables

This module makes use of the Puppet Type System and EPP templates, so it only works in 3.7 when the future parser is enabled.

On RedHat, in a direct routing load balancer setup, this module configures direct routing on real servers using arptables_jf.

This module manages /etc/sysconfig/arptables. With its default settings, it will also add ip aliasses and overwrite /etc/rc.d/rc.local. Set manage_ip_alias to false to prevent changes to rc.local.

##Parameters

###service_enable Default: false (boolean)

###service_ensure Default: stopped

The reasoning behind above defaults is that often the PREROUTING chain in iptables is used to achieve the same goal. So in order to configure direct routing using arptables_jf, you must change these defaults.

###manage_ip_alias Default: true (boolean)

If not already configured, adds ip aliasses to the interface specified in interface and adds them to rc.local for configuration to persist after reboots.

###virtual_ip Default: undef

Always specify virtual_ip, as string or array, when manage_ip_alias is true. In addition to adding ip aliasses through rc.local, it is used for configuring arptables when there is a single real ip on the system.

###real_ip Default: undef Specify real_ip string only when there is a sigle real ip, otherwise use virtual_real_ip mapping.

###virtual_real_ip Default: undef

virtual_real_ip hash is used to configure arptables when there are multiple real ips on the system.

###interface Default: undef

Always specify interface when manage_ip_alias is true (default). It is used in adding ip aliasses through rc.local.
