| LLDP is the link between the machine inventory and the switch inventory. metal-hammer reports each NIC's neighbor, and metal-api correlates those against the registered switch ports to build the connection map between switch ports and machine ports. The physical cable layout is therefore discovered during the same boot, never maintained by hand, and it is what drives per-port VRF configuration when a machine is later allocated to a tenant network. | ||

There was a problem hiding this comment.
maybe something like Preconfigured? Ansible is kind of an implementation detail here. Open for suggestions.

Description
Standalone article on how we manage network state in metal-stack. Standalone for now, once more documenation is added I would like to connect the articles in a more meaningful way.
