Description

Cloned from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1433035

Description of problem:

The "Managed" flag in the host configuration enables two independent functions:

- the new interface is configured automatically during provisioning by the DNS and DHCP Proxies

- If you use a kickstart method for host provisioning, configuration files are automatically created for managed interfaces in the post-installation phase at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-$interface_id

(Source https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.2/html/host_configuration_guide/sect-red_hat_satellite-host_configuration_guide-configuring_hosts-configuring_an_additional_network_interface )

It's not possible to enable the configuration of an Interface but disable the generation of DHCP and DNS entries.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

satellite-6.2.8-4.0.el7sat
Foreman 1.11+

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a host in Foreman
2. Edit its interface configuration

Actual results:

There is a single "Managed" checkbox

Expected results:

There is a "Manage DHCP/DNS entries" and "Manage Host Configuration" checkboxes

I'm not quite sure this should really be implemented the way the report says (2 managed flags). This could be fixed at the template level very easily.

The managed is probably a misleading word. I'd split it into "Manage external services" for a DHCP,DNS,TFTP switch and "Create configuration files" for ifcfg files during provisioning.
