We are using LDAP as our ENC, which contains the network interfaces as a subtree of the HOST tree.

The provisioning system (cobbler) uses ldap for the configuration of the installation files (autoyast/kisckstart).

Puppet will handle the re-configuration of the network.

I'm trying (getting on very slowly) to write and hiera ldap backend, because since network config is in a subtree, those data is not available as global vars.

Just another method ...

Thanks, Ken. It will be a secondary interface and it will 'hopefully' be a one-time fix.

I appreciate the feedback and will take a look at this!

Jerald; you are absolutely right, this should be a provisioning task but, we I have an OPS team who needs to make a one-tme correction on exisiting gear. DHCP is not an option due to limitations in the environment.

Thanks again!

    This module from @finch can do networking configuration:

    Is this change going to occur on your primary interface though (the
    one you are talking to your puppetmaster on), or is it for some kind
    of secondary interface?
