This module requires functions provided by the Example42 Puppi module (you need it even if you don't use and install Puppi)

For detailed info about the logic and usage patterns of Example42 modules check the DOCS directory on Example42 main modules set.

USAGE - Module specific

• Install dhcpd with custom templates for dhcpd.conf and sysconfig init conf file It provides also arbitrary custom options can ccan be used on both templates with the options_lookup function

    class { 'dhcpd':
      template      => 'example42/dhcpd/dhcpd.conf.erb',
      template_init => 'example42/dhcpd/dhcpd.init.erb',
      options       => {
        'Listen => 'eth0',
        'ddns-update-style => 'none',
      }
    }
  

USAGE - Basic management

• Install dhcpd with default settings

    class { 'dhcpd': }
  

• Install a specific version of dhcpd package

    class { 'dhcpd':
      version => '1.0.1',
    }
  

• Disable dhcpd service.

    class { 'dhcpd':
      disable => true
    }
  

• Remove dhcpd package

    class { 'dhcpd':
      absent => true
    }
  

USAGE - Overrides and Customizations

• Use custom sources for main config file

    class { 'dhcpd':
      source => [ "puppet:///modules/example42/dhcpd/dhcpd.conf-${hostname}" , "puppet:///modules/example42/dhcpd/dhcpd.conf" ], 
    }
  

• Use custom source directory for the whole configuration dir

    class { 'dhcpd':
      source_dir       => 'puppet:///modules/example42/dhcpd/conf/',
      source_dir_purge => false, # Set to true to purge any existing file not present in $source_dir
    }
  

• Use custom template for main config file. Note that template and source arguments are alternative.

    class { 'dhcpd':
      template => 'example42/dhcpd/dhcpd.conf.erb',
    }
  

• Automatically include a custom subclass

    class { 'dhcpd':
      my_class => 'example42::my_dhcpd',
    }
  

USAGE - Example42 extensions management

• Activate puppi (recommended, but disabled by default)

    class { 'dhcpd':
      puppi    => true,
    }
  

• Activate puppi and use a custom puppi_helper template (to be provided separately with a puppi::helper define ) to customize the output of puppi commands

    class { 'dhcpd':
      puppi        => true,
      puppi_helper => 'myhelper', 
    }
  

• Activate automatic monitoring (recommended, but disabled by default). This option requires the usage of Example42 monitor and relevant monitor tools modules

    class { 'dhcpd':
      monitor      => true,
      monitor_tool => [ 'nagios' , 'monit' , 'munin' ],
    }
  

• Activate automatic firewalling. This option requires the usage of Example42 firewall and relevant firewall tools modules

    class { 'dhcpd':       
      firewall      => true,
      firewall_tool => 'iptables',
      firewall_src  => '10.42.0.0/24',
      firewall_dst  => $ipaddress_eth0,
    }
