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

Hostname Configuration

Apply the hostname configurations using both the Puppet Standalone and Puppet Agent. You can read

and write the hostname configuration by using the netdev_device.

Example for configuring the Hostname.

node dell_s4810_node1

{

netdev_device { hostname: }

}

Layer 2 Interface Configuration

Apply the Layer 2 interface configurations using both the Puppet Standalone and Puppet Agent. You can

read and write the Layer 2 interface configurations by using the

netdev_l2_device type.

node dell_s4810_node1

{

netdev_device { hostname: }

netdev_l2_interface

{ “name”:

ensure => (present | absent),

active => (true | false),

description => "interface-description",

tagged_vlans => (vlan | [vlan1, vlan2, vlan3, ...]),

untagged_vlan => vlan,

vlan_tagging => (enable | disable)
