Network issue (kind of)

[sitle]

I actually have the use case where i need to assign multiple ip addresses for one VM. The problem is that the default route is setup via the configuration file. If i need to use another network and have a specific route, i can't do it (i have two default route in my vm).

Is there a way where we can setup a specific option to choose the default route using the configuration file ?

Hi @sitle -

You can specify multiple networks in the config file, each with their own gateway. Per config.example.yml:

# List your networks here
networks:
  '172.10.16.0/20':
    datacenter: 'Nashville'
    cluster:    'Nashville Server Cluster'
    datastore:  'Mystore 1'
    network:    'My Internal Net'
    gateway:    '172.10.16.1'

  '192.168.24.50/24':
    datacenter: 'Foocenter'
    cluster:    'FooCluster'
    datastore:  'Foomount'
    network:    'Internal 2'
    gateway:    '192.168.24.50'

...snip...

Or do you need to be able to specify multiple gateways for each network, or something else I'm not thinking of?

Actually, if i use the two network while cloning a VM, i'll have two default gateway configured in that VM. We need a way to specify a default gateway in the command Line.

@sitle - OK I understand now...I wasn't grasping at first.

Let me know if I have this straight. To summarize: currently, on the Linux guest, the GATEWAY is set in each ifcfg-eth* file that is created. This is taken from whatever the gateway setting is for that network in the config.yml.

However, you're speaking of the default GATEWAY that is set in, e.g.

/etc/sysconfig/network - RHEL/CentOS
/etc/sysconfig/network/routes - SLES
etc...

Is that correct? Thanks for the pull requests and the issues you've posted. I'll comment on your pull request in #19 soon.

@snobear - Actually i don't use redhat-like distribution for now. I'm testing ezmomi with debian-like distro, i'm going to test it with centos to see if i have the same behaviour.
