Includes: * Enhancements to the generate-interfaces-file.sh script so that it generates ifcfg network-scripts for distros like Fedora/RHEL. * Includes a new dhcp-all-interfaces.service systemd script which ensures network interfaces get generated before the network service starts on Fedora. * Add a new disable_interface function to generate-interfaces-file.sh which (on Fedora) will delete the ifcfg config for an interface which isn't plugged in. This is important because ifcfg-eth0 exists by default and we want to remove it if the NIC isn't connected. Previous behaviour on Ubuntu is unchanged and the generate-interfaces-file.sh just logs it as skipped. * General doc updates... I tested this on a multi-nic machine w/ Fedora where the first NIC exists but was not connected. Change-Id: Ia99e312539da43caefd72aa60398d43dac5dcc8f Closes-Bug: 1239880

Autodetect network interfaces during boot and configure them for DHCP
|
|
|
|
The rationale for this is that we are likely to require multiple
|
|
network interfaces for use cases such as baremetal and there is no way
|
|
to know ahead of time which one is which, so we will simply run a
|
|
DHCP client on all interfaces (except lo) that are visible on the first
|
|
boot.
|
|
|
|
The script /usr/local/sbin/generate-interfaces-file.sh will be called
|
|
early in each boot and will scan available network interfaces and
|
|
ensure they are configured properly before networking services are started.
