Create

Create a new Netplan interface configuration on a target host. Fails if an OSAPI-managed configuration for that interface already exists -- use update to replace it:

$ osapi client node network interface create \
    --target web-01 --name eth0 \
    --address 192.168.1.100/24 \
    --gateway4 192.168.1.1

  Job ID: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000

  NAME    CHANGED
  eth0    true

Create an interface with DHCP:

$ osapi client node network interface create \
    --target web-01 --name eth1 --dhcp4

  Job ID: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000

  NAME    CHANGED
  eth1    true

Broadcast to all hosts at once:

$ osapi client node network interface create \
    --target _all --name eth1 --dhcp4

  Job ID: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000

  HOSTNAME  NAME    CHANGED
  web-01    eth1    true
  web-02    eth1    true

When some hosts are skipped (e.g., macOS agents), STATUS and ERROR columns are added:

$ osapi client node network interface create \
    --target _all --name eth1 --dhcp4

  Job ID: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000

  HOSTNAME  STATUS   NAME    CHANGED  ERROR
  web-01    ok       eth1    true
  mac-01    skipped                   unsupported platform

JSON Output

Use --json to get the full API response:

$ osapi client node network interface create \
    --target web-01 --name eth0 \
    --address 192.168.1.100/24 \
    --gateway4 192.168.1.1 --json
{"results":[{"hostname":"web-01","name":"eth0",
"changed":true,"status":"ok"}],"job_id":"..."}
