Hello,

When using this service:

Toggle snippet (22 lines)
(service static-networking-service-type
(list (static-networking
(addresses
(list
;; Connection to the DMZ for public access
;; This is a 10G port.
(network-address
(device "eno2")
(value "141.80.181.40/24"))))
(routes
(list (network-route
(destination "default")
(gateway "141.80.181.1")))))
(static-networking
(addresses
(list
;; Connection to build nodes
(network-address
(device "eno1")
(value "141.80.167.131/26")))))))

I have the following error message:

Toggle snippet (3 lines)
service networking provided more that once

I guess it boils down to tweak the "provision" field accordingly, but it
should be automated or documented properly.

Thanks,

Mathieu

In this particular case, you could/should have a single
‘static-networking’ with multiple addresses:

(static-networking
(addresses
(list (network-address …)
(network-address …)))
(routes …))

I’m not sure if there are other situations where this limitation is
problematic.

WDYT?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Oh, I see. There's still something problematic:

Toggle snippet (12 lines)
;; Connection to the DMZ for public access
;; This is a 10G port.
(static-networking-service "eno2"
"141.80.181.40"
#:netmask "255.255.255.0"
#:gateway "141.80.181.1")
;; Connection to build nodes
(static-networking-service "eno1"
"141.80.167.131"
#:netmask "255.255.255.192")

The above configuration used to create two distinct shepherd services:
networking-eno1 and networking-eno2.

We now have the aforementioned error because those two interfaces are
now provisioning 'networking, breaking compatibility.

Browsing the code, I also found:

Toggle snippet (10 lines)
(service static-networking-service-type
(list %loopback-static-networking

;; QEMU user-mode networking. To get "eth0", you need
;; QEMU to emulate a device for which Mach has an
;; in-kernel driver, for instance with:
;; --device rtl8139,netdev=net0 --netdev user,id=net0
%qemu-static-networking))

which made me think that creating a distinct static-networking record
per interface was the way to go.

Thanks,

Mathieu
