nmstate-autoconf - Man Page
A nmstate command line tool to automatically configure the network state using LLDP information
Synopsis
nmstate-autoconf [INTERFACE_NAME] [--dry-run]
Description
nmstate-autoconf is a command line tool that uses libnmstate in order to confgure the network state automatically using LLDP information. This tool is experimental only.
nmstate-autoconf will identify the interfaces connected to a VLAN and unify them in a bond interface. In addition, a vlan interface will be created in top of the bond.
The bond state will be the following one:
- name: bond50
type: bond
state: up
link-aggregation:
mode: balance-rr
port:
- enp4s0
- enp4s0d1
The host VLAN state will be the following one:
- name: prod-net
type: vlan
state: up
vlan:
base-iface: bond50
id: 50
For multiple interface names, use comma to separate them. You can also use patterns for interface names:
* matches everything
? matches any single character
[seq] matches any character in seq
[!seq] matches any character not in seq
For example, to enable LLDP auto configuration on all interfaces starts with eth:
nmstate-autoconf eth\*
# The backslash is required to stop shell expanding '*' to file names.
Options
- --dry-run, -d
Generate the network state that is going to be applied and print it out. It won't apply any changes in the host.
Limitations
* This tool is experimental only. * It is not possible to configure automatically bond or vlan options.
