Creating interfaces via API

Support
1

Hello folks, I'm working on an API script for foreman 1.1 which will add
additional interfaces for a host.

per Ohad's direction I was roughly following this:

I get it to add an interface but the only attribute I can set successfully
is the MAC

I've been searching around the codebase for the proper param names for
name, domain_id etc but my return value for my api call shows mostly nil
values:

[{"subnet_id"=>nil, "updated_at"=>"2013-04-28T01:26:02Z", "host_id"=>10406,
"mac"=>"06:54:9e:00:0a:d9", "name"=>nil, "attrs"=>nil, "id"=>19, "ip"=>nil,
"created_at"=>"2013-04-28T01:26:02Z", "domain_id"=>nil}]

my code: http://pastie.org/7731241

any suggestions?

Hi Brian,
I happened to have the same challenge today.

I solved it as follows:
http://pastebin.com/aKTCaApb

Another problem I ran upon - for whom it may concern (@Ohad) - is that the
subnets are not shown correctly in the WebGUI (means non is showing up).

I think this is due to a bug in both the 1.1 and develop version.

The problem is the domain_subnets method defined in
hosts_and_hostgroups_helper.rb
(https://github.com/theforeman/foreman/blob/develop/app/helpers/hosts_and_hostgroups_helper.rb#L35).
The subnets to be returned will only work for the primary interface.
The following path let's this problem go away.
I don't know if this is the appropriate way (concerning rights and ACLs)
but I couldn't find a better way.

Regards Marc.

Thanks this worked for me. Alternatively, I was able to do what I wanted by
talking directly to the smart-proxy API.
