Building the Manifest File
Puppet consists of a custom declarative language to describe the system configuration, which can be either
applied directly on the system or compiled into a catalog and distributed to the destination system via the
client-server paradigm (using REST API). The agent uses the system–specific providers to enforce the
resource specified in the manifests.
The Puppet Agent network devices are managed using the following configurations:
• Hostname Configuration
• Layer 2 interface configuration
• Link aggregation group (LAG) configuration
• Physical interface configuration
• Virtual local area network (VLAN) configuration
