setting the default route on Debian

[mmoll]

I'm using the following manifest:

network_config { 'lo':
  ensure => 'present',
  family => 'inet',
  method => 'loopback',
  onboot => 'true',
}

network_config { 'eth0':
  ensure    => 'present',
  family    => 'inet',
  ipaddress => '10.4.8.23',
  method    => 'static',
  netmask   => '255.255.0.0',
  onboot    => 'true',
}

network_route { 'default':
  ensure    => 'present',
  gateway   => '10.4.0.1',
  interface => 'eth0',
  netmask   => '0.0.0.0',
  network   => 'default',
}

In /etc/network/routes the route is getting added twice:

# HEADER: This file is is being managed by puppet. Changes to
# HEADER: routes that are not being managed by puppet will persist;
# HEADER: however changes to routes that are being managed by puppet will
# HEADER: be overwritten. In addition, file order is NOT guaranteed.
# HEADER: Last generated at: 2013-10-24 16:33:34 +0200
default 0.0.0.0 10.4.0.1 eth0
default 0.0.0.0 10.4.0.1 eth0

And on every puppet run I'm getting:

Notice: /Stage[main]//Network_route[default]/ensure: created

I'm seeing the same issue - the network_route resources are executed on every puppet run, and all routes end up duplicated in the routes file.

Hello,
In order to avoid a resource change I had to use the following not-so-pretty syntax:

network_route { '0.0.0.0/0':
  ensure    => 'present',
  gateway   => 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx',
  interface => 'eth0',
  netmask   => '0.0.0.0',
  network   => '0.0.0.0',
}

@gwarf seems also to work for me in a quick test, thanks! 🍻
