Hi
In the latest cobbler web interface 2.201 there is now an option to enable
an interface as a Management Interface... what does this do? The meaning is
a bit clear and the help text on the page not helping to clear up the
mystery usage. The man page also did not turn up anything. I did not read
through the whole cobbler man page but did a search and read through the
interface section. I would be happy to amend the web interface help text and
the man page unless it is already there and I being daft. Happy to be
informed either way.
The management interface boolean is used by buildiso to decide what
nic is the ksdevice/netdevice (they are added as kopts), instead of
making guesses it's now up to the user to define the interface to use
for installing.
It can also be used for other stuff in your
kickstarts/autoyast/preseed files, e.g. for setting up a firewall
policy for management traffic (ssh/puppet/snmp/etc).
Any suggestions/improvements are welcome!
