ipset

Overview

Linux ipset management by puppet.

Roughly based on thias/ipset module.

• checks for current ipset state, before doing any changes to it
• applies ipset every time it drifts from target state, not only on config file change
• handles type changes
• autostart support for rhel-6 and rhel-7 family (upstart, systemd)

Usage

direct content

Resource accepts ipset content as list of entries, one entry per line ("\n" separated). Can be generated by ERB template, or filled in directly from the manifest.

ipset { 'foo':
  ensure => present,
  set    => "1.2.3.4\n5.6.7.8",
  type   => 'hash:ip',
}

content as array

Set can be filled from array data structure. Typically passed from Hiera.

ipset { 'foo':
  ensure => present,
  set    => ['1.2.3.4', '5.6.7.8'],
  type   => 'hash:ip',
}

local file

Set will be filled in from the file present on the target computer's filesystem.

file { '/tmp/bar_set_content':
  ensure  => present,
  content => "1.2.3.0/24\n5.6.7.8/32"
}
->
ipset { 'bar':
  ensure => present,
  set    => 'file:///tmp/bar_set_content',
  type   => 'hash:net',
}

puppet master file

Content is passed from the file available in puppet master's definitions.

ipset { 'baz':
  ensure => present,
  set    => 'puppet:///modules/foo/bar.ipset',
}
