Description

I'm trying to use the 'interface' type resource for setting up interface aliases. I'm using Puppet version 0.24.2, CentOS 5.

My interface declaration: 

node "dev1" {
  interface { "192.168.10.229":
    interface_type => "alias",
    interface => "eth0",
    ensure => "present",
    netmask => "255.255.255.0",
  }
}

puppetd reports the following error: 

err: Could not prefetch interface provider 'redhat': undefined method `bootproto=' for #<Puppet::Type::Interface::ProviderRedhat:0xb78cc8ac>
err: //Node[dev2]/Interface[10.0.1.201]: Failed to retrieve current state of resource: undefined method `[]' for #<Puppet::Type::Interface::ProviderRedhat:0xb7825638>

I removed the BOOTPROTO line from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/icfg-eth0, but then it complains about the HWADDR. If I take out HWADDR (which is probably is not a good idea), it complains about NETWORK. If I take out NETWORK, it complains about GATEWAY. If I take out GATEWAY, it complains about BROADCAST. Finally, I take out BROADCAST, and it complains about '[]'.

I've even tried removing both my ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-lo files to see what puppet does. I get no errors about 

"Could not prefetch interface provider 'redhat'... "

but I still get the same 

"Failed to retrieve current state of resource: undefined method `[]'..."

at the bottom of the output.

I see that there was a ticket submitted for what looks like a similar problem, but it was marked as fixed back in November 2007: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/ticket/762

Below is the puppet output and trace for when my ifcfg* files are in place, but with the mentioned properties commented out in ifcfg-eth0.

My current eth0 interface file (with lots of commenting out): 

[root@dev1 network-scripts]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
# Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8029(AS)
DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
#HWADDR=00:1c:42:af:2b:83
IPADDR=192.168.10.228
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
#NETWORK=192.168.10.0
ONBOOT=yes
#GATEWAY=192.168.10.1
#BROADCAST=192.168.10.255

Edit: I accidentally copy-pasted the original error message from a different dev machine:

To avoid confusion, the error should read: 

err: //Node[dev1]/Interface[192.168.10.229]: Failed to retrieve current state of resource: undefined method `[]' for #<Puppet::Type::Interface::ProviderRedhat:0xb7825638>
