# mako template function to create a bridge
#
# mako defs provide the advantage of declaring predefined functions in
# separate files.
#
# Below is an example that illustrates how to define such functions and use
# them in the /etc/network/interfaces file to create bridges
#
# This file defines a function makebr to create a bridge. The arguments to the
# function are vlan and ip address of the bridge.
#
# The default directory for template functions is
# /etc/network/ifupdown2/templates/. Copy this file under the template
# dir (create the directory if does not exist)
#
# To use this template function in /etc/network/interfaces, add the following
# to the /etc/network/interfaces file:
#
# <%namespace name="bridge" file="/bridge_template"/>
#
# ${bridge.makebr(1096, "10.0.23.2/24")}
# ${bridge.makebr(1097, "10.0.23.3/24")}
#
#

<%def name="makebr(vlan, addr)">
auto br${vlan}
iface br${vlan} inet static
    address ${addr}
    bridge-ports swp1.${vlan} swp2.${vlan}
    bridge-stp on
</%def>
