add the network interfaces configuration

Description

We need an action that will allow us to create interfaces configuration. CentOS is our top priority.

Proposal

API suggestions:

• networking_interfaces:
  • name: interface name
  • boot_protocol: dhcp/none
  • (optional) ip:
    • network
    • address
    • (optional) gateway
  • (optional) bonding:
    • (optional) master - e.g. value "bond0" indicates that the interface is a slave of the bond0
    • (optional) options - dict with bonding options
  • (optional) mtu, default 1500

Examples:

networking_interfaces:
#InfiniBand example with static address
  - name: "ib0"
    boot_protocol: "none"
    ip:
      network: "192.168.0.0/24"
      address: "192.168.0.7"

#Bonding example
  - name: "eth0"
    boot_protocol: "none"
    bonding:
      master: "bond0"
  - name: "eth1"
    boot_protocol: "none"
    bonding
      master: "bond0"
  - name: "bond0"
    boot_protocol: "none"
    bonding:
      options:
        mode: 4
        miimon: 100

#vlan example with DHCP
  - name: "bond0.1111"
    boot_protocol: "dhcp"

#interface with custom gateway and mtu
  - name: "bond0"
    boot_protocol: "none"
    mtu: 7
    ip:
      network: "10.0.0.0/24"
      address: "10.0.0.5"
      gateway: "10.0.0.254"
