net/interface-config

A map of ssh public keys to install for the root user

This parameter defines how nics created by the network/interface-topology param should have their addressing and routing configured. It consists of an object whose keys are netplan IDs and whose values are objects containing values listed in https://netplan.io/reference#common-properties-for-all-device-types.

Any netplan IDs listed here that are not present in network/interface-topology will be treated like they refer to ethernet devices with the same name as the netplan id.

The default value of this parameter is:

bootif:
  dhcp4: true

which specifies that we should write out a configuration that has the interface we booted from configure itself using DHCPv4.

When the network configuration on a machine is generated using the drpcli net generate command, the configuration for the netplan IDs are merged with the coresponding netplan IDs in the net/interface-topology param, with any extra IDs being added as-is to the ethernets section of that param. Note that a netplan ID is not necessarily the same thing as a device name, nor does it have to uniquely map to a single device. For example, if we have a net/interface-topology of

network:
  version: 2
  ethernets:
    onboards:
      match:
        name: onboard:*

we can have all of them use DHCP4 and 6 to get their addresses like so:

onboards:
  dhcp4: true
  dhcp6: true
