Defined Type: interface::ring

Defined in:
modules/interface/manifests/ring.pp

Overview

Definition: interface::ring

Sets interface ring parameters (with ethtool)

Parameters:

  • $interface: The network interface to operate on

  • $setting: The ring to resize (tx, rx, rx-mini, rx-jumbo)

  • $value: The new ring size

Note this doesn't check/set at runtime, because at least with

some drivers that restarts the interface and causes some traffic loss

  • value (Any)
