salt.states.win_network¶

Configuration of network interfaces on Windows hosts¶

This module provides the network state(s) on Windows hosts. DNS servers, IP addresses and default gateways can currently be managed.

Below is an example of the configuration for an interface that uses DHCP for both DNS servers and IP addresses:

Local Area Connection #2:
  network.managed:
    - dns_proto: dhcp
    - ip_proto: dhcp

Static DNS and IP addresses can be configured like so:

Local Area Connection #2:
  network.managed:
    - dns_proto: static
    - dns_servers:
      - 8.8.8.8
      - 8.8.4.4
    - ip_proto: static
    - ip_addrs:
      - 10.2.3.4/24

Optionally, if you are setting a static IP address, you can also specify the default gateway using the gateway parameter:

Local Area Connection #2:
  network.managed:
    - dns_proto: static
    - dns_servers:
      - 8.8.8.8
      - 8.8.4.4
    - ip_proto: static
    - ip_addrs:
      - 10.2.3.4/24
    - gateway: 10.2.3.1

salt.states.win_network.managed(name, dns_proto=None, dns_servers=None, ip_proto=None, ip_addrs=None, gateway=None, enabled=True, **kwargs)¶

Ensure that the named interface is configured properly.

Parameters

• name (str) -- The name of the interface to manage

• dns_proto (str) -- None Set to static and use the dns_servers parameter to provide a list of DNS nameservers. set to dhcp to use DHCP to get the DNS servers.

• dns_servers (list) -- None A list of static DNS servers. To clear the list of DNS servers pass an empty list ([]). None will make no changes.

• ip_proto (str) -- None Set to static and use the ip_addrs and (optionally) gateway parameters to provide a list of static IP addresses and the default gateway. Set to dhcp to use DHCP.

• ip_addrs (list) -- None A list of static IP addresses with netmask flag, ie: 192.168.0.11/24

• gateway (str) -- None The gateway to set for the interface

• enabled (bool) -- True Set to False to ensure that this interface is disabled.

Returns

A dictionary of old and new settings

Return type

dict

Example:

Ethernet1:
  network.managed:
    - dns_proto: static
    - dns_servers:
      - 8.8.8.8
      - 8.8.8.4
    - ip_proto: static
    - ip_addrs:
      - 192.168.0.100/24

Clear DNS entries example:

Ethernet1:
  network.managed:
    - dns_proto: static
    - dns_servers: []
    - ip_proto: dhcp
