salt.states.win_network¶

Configuration of network interfaces on Windows hosts¶

New in version 2014.1.0.

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

Note

Both the dns_proto and ip_proto arguments are required.

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

Note

IP addresses are specified using the format <ip-address>/<subnet-length>. Salt provides a convenience function called ip.get_subnet_length to calculate the subnet length from a netmask.

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.

name: The name of the interface to manage
dns_proto : 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 : None: A list of static DNS servers.
ip_proto : 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 : None: A list of static IP addresses.
gateway : None: A list of static IP addresses.
enabled : True: Set to False to ensure that this interface is disabled.
