Description
The filename for the interface files, when creating an alias is incorrect.
Although checked with Redhat, there is a dependency on the filename starting :
ifcfg-:
Therefore, the filename generated by Puppet of
ifcfg-does not work; as it results in the OS trying to bring up the alias (in some circumstances) prior to the interface. A simple patch to the provider solves this and is attached to the ticket (generated against trunk in svn). It should be applied to :
trunk/lib/puppet/provider/interface/redhat.rb

Not all interface’s use a colon (‘:’)
if you are creating trunked interfaces the file looks like: ifcfg-eth0.400 (where 400 is the vlan id)

Indeed, the problem with the missing : is just for aliases; not all interfaces.
The patch I attached just changes the behaviour of aliases on an existing interface which do as far as I can tell, require a filename of the format
ifcfg-The behaviour in all other cases remains the same.:
As I understand it, the example
ifcfg-eth0.400is not an alias, so does not need a : and would be unchanged by the patch. If, however, you wanted to create an alias on this interface, the file name would indeed have to include the : and start
ifcfg-eth0.400:
