Driver network.lo

Minimal configlet:

[network#1]
type = lo

Minimal setup command:

om node set --kw="type=lo"

Supported keywords:

  • comment
  • mask_per_node
  • type

Keyword comment

required:    false
scopable:    false

Description:

A free form text describing the role of the object, of the node, or of the section it is set in.

The keyword is accepted in any section, so the DEFAULT section can document a configuration as a whole, and a resource, pool, heartbeat, array or network section can document itself.

The agent does not interpret the value.

Keyword mask_per_node

required:    false
scopable:    false
default:     0
convert:     int

Description:

The prefix length of the subnets distributed to each node. For example if the network is a x.x.x.x/16 you can distribute

  • x.x.x.x/17 subnets to 2 nodes
  • x.x.x.x/18 to 4 nodes
  • etc…

If both mask_per_node and ips_per_node are set, ips_per_node is ignored. If only ips_per_node is set, it is honored for backward compatibility.

The ips_per_node keyword is deprecated because its value is hard to manage for large ipv6 subnets (e.g a x.x.x.x/48 subnet has 281474976710656 ips).

Keyword type

required:    false
scopable:    false
candidates:  bridge, routed_bridge
default:     bridge

Description:

The type of network.
