Thanks for directing me towards help. Looking at the
kickstart_networking_sertup it seems to mention that it's going to
setup the primary interface. When I look at the template details using
the spoof thing with the Host IP it only seems to show details about
the non primary interface.
This is what I see in the kickstart when I view it.
# enp6s0 interface
real=`ip -o link | grep 00:25:90:09:57:e4 | awk '{print $2;}' | sed
s/:$//`
# ifcfg files are ignored by NM if their name contains colons so we
convert colons to underscore
sanitized_real=$real
cat << EOF > /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-$sanitized_real
BOOTPROTO="dhcp"
DEVICE=$real
HWADDR="00:25:90:09:57:e4"
ONBOOT=yes
PEERDNS=no
PEERROUTES=no
DEFROUTE=no
EOF
This isn't the primary interface. The interface configured as primary
in foreman is one where the MAC address ends in 57:e5. The
kickstart_default template is calling the kickstart_networking_setup
which says the following.
<%#
kind: snippet
name: kickstart_networking_setup
description: this will configure your host networking, it configures
your primary interface as well
as other configures NICs. It supports physical, VLAN and Alias
interfaces. It's intended to be
called from %post in your kickstart template. Note that this
snippet can be used with Foreman 1.7
and later
%>
This makes me think that this script should be doing what I am
expecting, configure the network interfaces based on the host
configuration in foreman.
