Greetings folks. I was working out a RFE with mpdehaan in #cobbler this morning, and he thought I should post it here to get other folks input. https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/ticket/164 I think it would be a great addition to be able to define network profiles for systems/profiles, etc. A network profile would consist of : subnet mask default gateway dns server I picture it working like this: On the CLI: First you would define your network profile with the appropriate addresses. cobbler add network foonet --netmask=255.255.255.0 --gateway=192.168.1.1 --dns1=192.168.1.10 --domain=mylab.mycompany.com Secondly, when adding a new system, there is the new option of "--network". So for system foo, which belonged to the foonet, you would do: cobbler system add foo --network=foonet ip=192.168.101 --hostname=foo This would become very handy especially if you have to re-ip your network, and its also a nice short cut. In the background, my guess is that the information is still stored the same way, and if a network profile is changed, systems that use it are synced whenever a cobbler sync occurs. In the webui, there would be an option for adding network profiles, and a drop down for select the network profiles when adding a system. James S.
