Additional attributes for NICs, bonds, and nodes

You can provide additional attributes for NICs, bonds, and nodes. This is useful for a plugin providing "per interface" or "per node" technology.

An example of this use case is virtual functions support for vRouter on each network interface in Contrail.

To provide additional attributes for NICs:

Edit the nic_attributes.yaml file with the additional attributes.

Example:

attribute_a:
  label: "NIC attribute A"
  description: "Your description"
  type: "text"
  value: ""
attribute_b:
  label: "NIC attribute B"
  description: "Your description"
  type: "checkbox"
  value: false

To provide additional attributes for bonds:

Edit the bond_attributes.yaml file with the additional attributes.

Example:

attribute_a:
  label: "Bond attribute A"
  description: "Your description"
  type: "text"
  value: ""
attribute_b:
  label: "Bond attribute B"
  description: "Your description"
  type: "checkbox"
  value: false

To provide additional attributes for nodes:

Edit the node_attributes.yaml file with the additional attributes.

Example:

plugin_section_a:
  metadata:
    group: "your_new_section"
    label: "Section A"
  attribute_a:
    label: "Node attribute A for section A"
    description: "Your description"
    type: "text"
  attribute_b:
    label: "Node attribute B for section A"
    description: "Your description"
    type: "checkbox"
