Network

Add connectivity widget

Check connection status and show warnings on Summary page only when something go wrong:

• Check link is up on every interface
  • Warn pointing to the defective one/s
• Check Zentyal's gateway is reachable
  • Warn if gateway is unreachable only in case external IP test fails too (ICMP filtering may cause false positives)
    • Show gateway IP
• Check an external IP is reachable (use dns root servers?)
  • Warn if it's not reachable
    • Show external IP
• Check if Zentyal's DNS server IP is reachable
  • Warn if it's not reachable
    • Show IP
• Check if Zentyal's DNS server resolves an address
  • Warn if it's doesn't resolve
    • Show server IP address and queried hostnames

DHCP-supplied gateway interferes which gateways configured by Zentyal

Integrate OpenVPN network interfaces with network interfaces

Review the use of interface friendly names

They are not being used in places where it'd be nice (#2358, see first comment)

The first added gateway should be checked as default

Add multigateway fail-over scripts

Edit vlan descriptions

Users should not specify ping flags in Network->Diagnosis->Ping

More information on interfaces tab for DHCP interfaces

Show the current configuration for the interface just like the dashboard widget does

Warn user if a change on the interfaces will make him lock out

Import dns-* entries from /etc/network/interfaces

Check the interface given to a router is the real one

Do not use mac addresses if there isn't more than one gateway connected to the same interface

We should detect when there's no need to use mac addresses to mark incoming packets in case of not having more than one gateway connected to the same interface.

Add interface description (external/internal) to the summary

User services for multigateway rules

Bonding channel

Several physical interfaces shown as a single virtual interface to provide resilience.

Bridge interfaces support

Give support for customised brigde interfaces (brX)

Enhance Summary VLAN entries

Instead of showing VLANs and their ifaces at the same level, it'll be better to hide physical interfaces and show only VLAN ones with the physical address which the VLAN belongs to:

               vlan5
Status         up (eth0 VLAN)
MAC address    00:40:F4:B5:90:D7 
IP address     192.168.2.1/24

MAC clone

Set the MAC address from Network module interface. It could be set in /etc/network/interfaces:  http://forum.zentyal.com/index.php?topic=1433.0

Refactoring: use a mason template to generate /etc/network/interfaces

Now we are using custom code at the EBox::Network::generateInterfaces method

Add external/internal tag to interfaces in dashboard widget

DynDNS improvements

• Add No-IP support
• ZoneEdit Dynamic DNS with multiple domain names (Currently the field in the Zentyal interface only allows one hostname to be entered).

Add wake on lan feature to Network Diagnostic Tools page

Maybe the page should be renamed to Network Tools?

Transparent bridge mode

To plug in Zentyal without risking your current IT scenario.

Suggestion came from :  http://forum.zentyal.com/index.php?topic=3117

IP address range for multigateway rules

As described  http://forum.zentyal.com/index.php?topic=3387

Use objects in static routes

Network field is an IP address. It could be a network object, if ebox-objects is installed.

Display gateways in dashboard

Specially for the dynamic ones, it would be nice to have them shown in the dashboard just like the addresses of the interfaces are shown now.

Button for renew DHCP/PPPoE connections

On the Network -> Interfaces page or the Network dashboard widget, we could add a "restart" button for dynamic interfaces to force a dhclient request or a poff/pon on DHCP and PPPoE interfaces.

Share network objects between servers

Allow to synchronize network objects between Zentyal Servers, use case proposed in  http://forum.zentyal.org/index.php?topic=6533.msg26771#msg26771
