Jira (FACT-1146) Regression: Facter 3 provides link local IPv6 address

[Brian Rak (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Brian Rak created an issue   Facter / FACT-1146 Regression: Facter 3 provides link local IPv6 address Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: FACT 3.0.1 Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2015/07/23 7:22 AM Environment: CentOS 6 x86_64 Facter 3.0.1 (commit 9b1ef723a1494a01e0eccfe93a75fd43316690c2) Priority: Normal Reporter: Brian Rak Given an interface with multiple IPv6 addresses, facter is returning the link-local one only. The link local address is not very useful. The network6/netmask6 values are correct. For example (irrelevant information removed) # ip -6 addr show br0 6: br0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 inet6 2001:xxx:4009:::33/64 scope global valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::ec4:7aff:fe58:4698/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever   # facter networking { interfaces => { br0 => { ip6 => "fe80::ec4:7aff:fe58:4698", netmask6 => "ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::", network6 => "2001:xxx:4009:::" }, As you can see, the network6/netmask6 values are correct, and represent the public IPv6 address of the host, but the 'ip6' value only gives the link-local address. I believe proper behavior here would be to filter the link-local addresses for the ip6 value (they might be useful to provide in another value here) With facter 2, this was handled properly (the public IPv6 address was returned) Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.5#64020-sha1:78acd6c) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
