This module manages network interfaces without restarting the network subsystem. It contains of two parts. One uses iproute2 tools and system files placed in /sys/class/net. The other manages files needed to restore the state after OS boots.

• Ethernet: /\A([[:alpha:]]*([[:alpha:]]\d+)+)\Z/. Examples: enp0s1, ens0f1.
• Bonding: /\Abond\d+\Z/. Examples: bond0, bond1.
• Vlan: /\Avlan(\d+)\Z/, $1 - vlanid. Examples: vlan10, vlan100.
• Loopback: /\Alo\Z/. Examples: lo.

• Manages alias files only for ten ip addresses.

• Removes unspecified IP addresses of the network interface.
• Overwrites configuration files of the network interface.
• Can make your server unreachable.

Include this module and write hiera.
