This makes use of the dhcpcd package and it's ability to run on all interfaces by default. We disable the privacy extensions and dhcp overriding the hostname (both are enabled by default). Other than that it 'just works' and was the method used to bring up interfaces on Gentoo Openstack images before we switched to building with DIB. Change-Id: I02c14927d70b22f560c6fc149fefca0f93933f56

dhcp-all-interfaces
|
|
===================
|
|
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 with real MAC addresses (except lo) that
|
|
are visible on the first boot.
|
|
|
|
On non-Gentoo based distributions the script
|
|
/usr/local/sbin/dhcp-all-interfaces.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.
|
|
|
|
On Gentoo based distributions we will install the dhcpcd package and
|
|
ensure the service starts at boot. This service automatically sets
|
|
up all interfaces found via dhcp and/or dhcpv6 (or SLAAC).
