##Overview

This module installs, manages and configures quagga.

##Module Description

The module is based on stdmod naming standards version 0.9.0.

Refer to http://github.com/stdmod/ for complete documentation on the common parameters.

##Setup

###Resources managed by quagga module

• This module installs the quagga package
• Enables the quagga service
• Can manage all the configuration files (by default no file is changed)

###Setup Requirements

• PuppetLabs stdlib module
• StdMod stdmod module
• Puppet version >= 2.7.x
• Facter version >= 1.6.2

###Beginning with module quagga

To install the package provided by the module just include it:

     include quagga

The main class arguments can be provided either via Hiera (from Puppet 3.x) or direct parameters:

     class { 'quagga':
       parameter => value,
     }

The module provides also a generic define to manage any quagga configuration file:

     quagga::conf { 'sample.conf':
       content => '# Test',
     }

##Usage

• A common way to use this module involves the management of the main configuration file via a custom template (provided in a custom site module):

     class { 'quagga':
       config_file_template => 'site/quagga/quagga.conf.erb',
     }

• You can write custom templates that use setting provided but the config_file_options_hash paramenter

     class { 'quagga':
       config_file_template      => 'site/quagga/quagga.conf.erb',
       config_file_options_hash  => {
         opt  => 'value',
         opt2 => 'value2',
       },
     }

• Use custom source (here an array) for main configuration file. Note that template and source arguments are alternative.

     class { 'quagga':
       config_file_source => [ "puppet:///modules/site/quagga/quagga.conf-${hostname}" ,
                               "puppet:///modules/site/quagga/quagga.conf" ],
     }

• Use custom source directory for the whole configuration directory, where present.

     class { 'quagga':
       config_dir_source  => 'puppet:///modules/site/quagga/conf/',
     }

• Use custom source directory for the whole configuration directory and purge all the local files that are not on the dir. Note: This option can be used to be sure that the content of a directory is exactly the same you expect, but it is desctructive and may remove files.

     class { 'quagga':
       config_dir_source => 'puppet:///modules/site/quagga/conf/',
       config_dir_purge  => true, # Default: false.
     }

• Use custom source directory for the whole configuration dir and define recursing policy.

     class { 'quagga':
       config_dir_source    => 'puppet:///modules/site/quagga/conf/',
       config_dir_recursion => false, # Default: true.
     }

• Provide an hash of files resources to be created with quagga::conf.

     class { 'quagga':
       conf_hash => {
         'quagga.conf' => {
           template => 'site/quagga/quagga.conf',
         },
         'quagga.other.conf' => {
           template => 'site/quagga/quagga.other.conf',
         },
       },
     }

• Do not trigger a service restart when a config file changes.

     class { 'quagga':
       config_dir_notify => '', # Default: Service[quagga]
     }
