18.10. Setting the default gateway on an existing connection by using the network RHEL system role


By using the network RHEL system role, you can automate setting the default gateway in a NetworkManager connection profile. With this method, you can remotely configure the default gateway on hosts defined in a playbook.

In most situations, administrators set the default gateway when they create a connection. However, you can also set or update the default gateway setting on a previously-created connection.

警告

You cannot use the network RHEL system role to update only specific values in an existing connection profile. The role ensures that a connection profile exactly matches the settings in a playbook. If a connection profile with the same name already exists, the role applies the settings from the playbook and resets all other settings in the profile to their defaults. To prevent resetting values, always specify the whole configuration of the network connection profile in the playbook, including the settings that you do not want to change.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Create a playbook file, for example, ~/playbook.yml, with the following content:

    ---
    - name: Configure the network
      hosts: managed-node-01.example.com
      tasks:
        - name: Ethernet connection profile with static IP address settings
          ansible.builtin.include_role:
            name: redhat.rhel_system_roles.network
          vars:
            network_connections:
              - name: enp1s0
                type: ethernet
                autoconnect: yes
                ip:
                  address:
                    - 198.51.100.20/24
                    - 2001:db8:1::1/64
                  gateway4: 198.51.100.254
                  gateway6: 2001:db8:1::fffe
                  dns:
                    - 198.51.100.200
                    - 2001:db8:1::ffbb
                  dns_search:
                    - example.com
                state: up

    For details about all variables used in the playbook, see the /usr/share/ansible/roles/rhel-system-roles.network/README.md file on the control node.

  2. Validate the playbook syntax:

    $ ansible-playbook --syntax-check ~/playbook.yml

    Note that this command only validates the syntax and does not protect against a wrong but valid configuration.

  3. Run the playbook:

    $ ansible-playbook ~/playbook.yml

Verification

  • Query the Ansible facts of the managed node and verify the active network settings:

    # ansible managed-node-01.example.com -m ansible.builtin.setup
    ...
            "ansible_default_ipv4": {
    	    ...
                "gateway": "198.51.100.254",
                "interface": "enp1s0",
    	    ...
            },
            "ansible_default_ipv6": {
    	    ...
                "gateway": "2001:db8:1::fffe",
                "interface": "enp1s0",
    	    ...
    	}
    ...
