Overview

LLDP stands for Link Layer Discovery Protocol. This module manages the LLDP implementation from Vincent Bernat. puppet-strings docs are available in /docs. They are generated before each release. This module configures the upstream repo if necessary. The LLDP requires a daemon, which will be started. the command line client has support for json output. This is used to create a structured fact. It is updated automatically with a systemd timer (or a cronjob on legacy systems).

The REFERENCE.md contains puppet-strings generated docs.

Setup

This is very easy:

include lldpd

You can disable the repo management:

class{'lldpd':
  manage_repo => false,
}

Support

This module supports the installation on:

Archlinux
CentOS 7
Fedora 32
Debian 9
Debian 10
Ubuntu 16.04
Ubuntu 18.04
Ubuntu 20.04
VirtuozzoLinux 7
FreeBSD 11
FreeBSD 12

The fact is present on all Operating Systems except for FreeBSD. Docker acceptance tests work for CentOS 6 and 7. Vagrant acceptance tests work for Fedora 25. Other nodesets are currently not present. The module requires at least Puppet 4.9.4 (this is the first version with proper data-in-modules support).

Development

This project contains tests for rspec-puppet.

Quickstart to run all linter and unit tests:

bundle install --path .vendor/ --without system_tests --without development --without release
bundle exec rake test

For acceptance tests:

bundle install --path .vendor/ --with system_tests --without development --without release
BEAKER_debug=true PUPPET_INSTALL_TYPE=agent bundle exec rake beaker:fedora-25-x64
BEAKER_debug=true PUPPET_INSTALL_TYPE=agent bundle exec rake acceptance BEAKER_set=docker/centos-7
