bridge resource

Use the bridge Chef InSpec audit resource to test basic network bridge properties, such as name, if an interface is defined, and the associations for any defined interface.

Availability

Install

This resource is distributed with Chef InSpec and is automatically available for use.

Version

This resource first became available in v1.0.0 of InSpec.

Syntax

A bridge resource block declares the bridge to be tested and what interface it should be associated with:

describe bridge('br0') do
  it { should exist }
  it { should have_interface 'eth0' }
end

On Linux platforms, any value in the /sys/class/net/{interface}/bridge directory may be tested
On the Windows platform, the Get-NetAdapter cmdlet is associated with the Get-NetAdapterBinding cmdlet and returns the ComponentID ms_bridge value as a JSON object

Properties

interfaces

The interfaces property returns the named interfaces.

its('interfaces') { should include('foo') }

Matchers

For a full list of available matchers, see our Universal Matchers page.

This resource has the following special matchers.

exist

The exist matcher tests if the network bridge is available:

it { should exist }

have_interface

The have_interface matcher tests if the named interface is defined for the network bridge:

it { should have_interface 'eth0' }
