salt.modules.network.get_hostname()¶

Get hostname

CLI Example:

salt '*' network.get_hostname

salt.modules.network.hw_addr(iface)¶

Return the hardware address (a.k.a. MAC address) for a given interface

CLI Example:

salt '*' network.hw_addr eth0

salt.modules.network.hwaddr(iface)¶

Return the hardware address (a.k.a. MAC address) for a given interface

salt.modules.network.in_subnet(cidr)¶

Returns True if host is within specified subnet, otherwise False.

CLI Example:

salt '*' network.in_subnet 10.0.0.0/16

salt.modules.network.interface(iface)¶

Return the inet address for a given interface

New in version 2014.7.0.

CLI Example:

New in version 2014.7.0.

CLI Example:

salt '*' network.interface_ip eth0

salt.modules.network.interfaces()¶

Return a dictionary of information about all the interfaces on the minion

CLI Example:

salt '*' network.interfaces

salt.modules.network.ip_addrs(interface=None, include_loopback=False, cidr=None)¶

Returns a list of IPv4 addresses assigned to the host. 127.0.0.1 is ignored, unless 'include_loopback=True' is indicated. If 'interface' is provided, then only IP addresses from that interface will be returned. Providing a CIDR via 'cidr="10.0.0.0/8"' will return only the addresses which are within that subnet.

CLI Example:

salt '*' network.ip_addrs

salt.modules.network.ip_addrs6(interface=None, include_loopback=False)¶

Returns a list of IPv6 addresses assigned to the host. ::1 is ignored, unless 'include_loopback=True' is indicated. If 'interface' is provided, then only IP addresses from that interface will be returned.

CLI Example:

salt '*' network.ip_addrs6

salt.modules.network.ipaddrs(interface=None, include_loopback=False, cidr=None)¶

Returns a list of IPv4 addresses assigned to the host. 127.0.0.1 is ignored, unless 'include_loopback=True' is indicated. If 'interface' is provided, then only IP addresses from that interface will be returned. Providing a CIDR via 'cidr="10.0.0.0/8"' will return only the addresses which are within that subnet.

CLI Example:

salt '*' network.ip_addrs

salt.modules.network.ipaddrs6(interface=None, include_loopback=False)¶

Returns a list of IPv6 addresses assigned to the host. ::1 is ignored, unless 'include_loopback=True' is indicated. If 'interface' is provided, then only IP addresses from that interface will be returned.

CLI Example:

salt '*' network.ip_addrs6

salt.modules.network.is_loopback(ip_addr)¶

Check if the given IP address is a loopback address

New in version 2014.7.0.

CLI Example:

salt '*' network.is_loopback 127.0.0.1

salt.modules.network.is_private(ip_addr)¶

Check if the given IP address is a private address

New in version 2014.7.0.

CLI Example:

salt '*' network.is_private 10.0.0.3

salt.modules.network.mod_hostname(hostname)¶

Modify hostname

CLI Example:

salt '*' network.mod_hostname   master.saltstack.com

salt.modules.network.netstat()¶

Return information on open ports and states

Note

On BSD minions, the output contains PID info (where available) for each netstat entry, fetched from sockstat/fstat output.

Changed in version 2014.1.4: Added support for OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and NetBSD

CLI Example:

salt '*' network.netstat

salt.modules.network.ping(host)¶

Performs a ping to a host
