<h1>Introduction<a class="headerlink" href="#introduction" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
|
||
<p>ifupdown2 is a replacement for the debian network interface
|
||
management package ifupdown. It is ifupdown re-written in python. It
|
||
maintains the original ifupdown pluggable architecture and extends it further.</p>
|
||
<dl class="docutils">
|
||
<dt>It comes as two packages:</dt>
|
||
<dd><ul class="first last simple">
|
||
<li>python-ifupdown2</li>
|
||
<li>python-ifupdown2-addons</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</dd>
|
||
</dl>
|
||
<p>(Packaging may change in the future)</p>

||
<div class="section" id="python-ifupdown2">
|
||
<h2>python-ifupdown2<a class="headerlink" href="#python-ifupdown2" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
||
<p>The python-ifupdown2 package provides the infrastructure for
|
||
parsing /etc/network/interfaces file, loading, scheduling, template parsing,
|
||
state management and interface dependency generation of interfaces.</p>
|
||
<p>It dynamically loads python modules from /usr/share/ifupdownmodules (provided
|
||
by the python-ifupdown2-addons package). To remain compatible with other
|
||
packages that depend on ifupdown, it also executes scripts under /etc/network/.
|
||
To make the transition smoother, a python module under
|
||
/usr/share/ifupdownmodules will override a script by the same name under
|
||
/etc/network/.</p>
|
||
<p>It publishes an interface object which is passed to all loadble python
|
||
modules. For more details on adding a addon module, see the section on
|
||
adding python modules.</p>
|
||
<p>ifupdown2 module calls all modules for every interface declared in the
|
||
/etc/network/interfaces file.</p>

<div class="section" id="python-ifupdown2-addons">
|
||
<h2>python-ifupdown2-addons<a class="headerlink" href="#python-ifupdown2-addons" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
||
<p>The python-ifupdown2-addons package contains ifupdown2 addon modules.
|
||
All addon modules must be python modules.</p>
|
||
<p>addon modules are responsible for applying interface configuration.
|
||
The modules are installed under /usr/share/ifupdownmodules.</p>
|
||
<p>Each module can declare its own set of supported attributes. Each module
|
||
is passed the iface object. An iface object represents an iface entry in
|
||
/etc/network/interfaces. Each module is also passed the operation to be
|
||
performed.</p>
|
||
<p>Example modules are /usr/share/ifupdownmodules/address.py,
|
||
/usr/share/ifupdownmodules/bridge.py etc</p>
|
||
<p>The order in which these modules are invoked is listed in
|
||
/var/lib/ifupdownaddons/addons.conf. There is a ifaddon utility in the works
|
||
to better manage the module ordering.</p>
|
||
<p>For details on how to add a module, see the api reference and development
|
||
documentation.</p>
