NAME

       puppet-device - Manage remote network devices

SYNOPSIS

       Retrieves all configurations from the puppet master and apply them to the remote devices configured in /etc/puppet/device.conf.

       Currently must be run out periodically, using cron or something similar.

USAGE

       puppet device [-d|--debug] [--detailed-exitcodes] [-V|--version]

		       [-h|--help] [-l|--logdest syslog|<file>|console]
		       [-v|--verbose] [-w|--waitforcert <seconds>]

DESCRIPTION

       Once the client has a signed certificate for a given remote device, it will retrieve its configuration and apply it.

USAGE NOTES

       One need a /etc/puppet/device.conf file with the following content:

       [remote.device.fqdn] type type url url

       where: * type: the current device type (the only value at this time is cisco) * url: an url allowing to connect to the device

       Supported url must conforms to: scheme://user:password@hostname/?query

       with:  * scheme: either ssh or telnet * user: username, can be omitted depending on the switch/router configuration * password: the connec-
       tion password * query: this is device specific. Cisco devices supports an enable parameter whose value would be the enable password.

OPTIONS

       Note that any configuration parameter that's valid in the configuration file is also a valid long argument.  For  example,  'server'  is  a
       valid configuration parameter, so you can specify '--server servername' as an argument.

       --debug
	      Enable full debugging.

       --detailed-exitcodes
	      Provide  transaction  information  via exit codes. If this is enabled, an exit code of '2' means there were changes, an exit code of
	      '4' means there were failures during the transaction, and an exit code of '6' means there were both changes and failures.

       --help Print this help message

       --logdest
	      Where to send messages. Choose between syslog, the console, and a log file. Defaults to sending messages to syslog, or  the  console
	      if debugging or verbosity is enabled.

       --verbose
	      Turn on verbose reporting.

       --waitforcert
	      This  option only matters for daemons that do not yet have certificates and it is enabled by default, with a value of 120 (seconds).
	      This causes +puppet agent+ to connect to the server every 2 minutes and ask it to sign a certificate request. This is useful for the
	      initial setup of a puppet client. You can turn off waiting for certificates by specifying a time of 0.

EXAMPLE

	 $ puppet device --server puppet.domain.com

NAME

       puppet-filebucket - Store and retrieve files in a filebucket

SYNOPSIS

       A stand-alone Puppet filebucket client.

USAGE

       puppet  filebucket mode [-h|--help] [-V|--version] [-d|--debug] [-v|--verbose] [-l|--local] [-r|--remote] [-s|--server server] [-b|--bucket
       directory] file file ...

       Puppet filebucket can operate in three modes, with only one mode per call:

       backup: Send one or more files to the specified file bucket. Each sent file is printed with its resulting md5 sum.

       get: Return the text associated with an md5 sum. The text is printed to stdout, and only one file can be retrieved at a time.

       restore: Given a file path and an md5 sum, store the content associated with the sum into the specified	file  path.  You  can  specify	an
       entirely new path to this argument; you are not restricted to restoring the content to its original location.

DESCRIPTION

       This is a stand-alone filebucket client for sending files to a local or central filebucket.

       Note  that 'filebucket' defaults to using a network-based filebucket available on the server named 'puppet'. To use this, you'll have to be
       running as a user with valid Puppet certificates. Alternatively, you can use your local file bucket by specifying '--local'.

OPTIONS

       Note that any configuration parameter that's valid in the configuration file is also a valid long argument.  For  example,  'ssldir'  is  a
       valid configuration parameter, so you can specify '--ssldir directory' as an argument.

       See the configuration file documentation at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/configuration.html for the full list of acceptable
       parameters. A commented list of all configuration options can also be generated by running puppet with '--genconfig'.

       --debug
	      Enable full debugging.

       --help Print this help message

       --local
	      Use the local filebucket. This will use the default configuration information.

       --remote
	      Use a remote filebucket. This will use the default configuration information.

       --server
	      The server to send the file to, instead of locally.

       --verbose
	      Print extra information.

       --version
	      Print version information.

EXAMPLE

       $ puppet filebucket backup /etc/passwd
       /etc/passwd: 429b225650b912a2ee067b0a4cf1e949
       $ puppet filebucket restore /tmp/passwd 429b225650b912a2ee067b0a4cf1e949
