$macaddress_x Not a mac addres

[gorttman]

Hi firstly, lent me say thanks for a great module, in most aspects its working great. But.
I'm newish to puppet and Im having 2 small issues with setting bonds in hiera.
anything except an actual mac is rejected. I cannot seem to get something like
network::bond_slave:
eth1:
macaddress: $macaddress_eth1
ethtool_opts: 'autoneg off speed 1000 duplex full'
master: bond0
tp work. If i replace the var $macaddress_eth1 with xx:xx:xx:xx:xx it works fine.
also, how do I reference global in hiera. Anything like
network::global:
ipv6networking: false
gateway: x.x.x.x

gets ignored.

thanks in advance.

To refer to a fact in hiera, you reference it without the $, so in this case, you would probably want to use %{::macaddress_eth1}
https://docs.puppet.com/hiera/3.2/variables.html#from-puppet

I actually just put in a pull request that would try to use the macaddress fact if no macaddress is specified, but it obviously hasn't been merged yet.

To set the gateway entries, use something like:

network::global::ipv6networking: false
