[Hunter Haugen (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Hunter Haugen created an issue   Facter / FACT-1147 Interfaces with multiple IPs are not facted correctly Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2015/07/23 4:22 PM Environment: facter 3.0.1, sles 10 Priority: Normal Reporter: Hunter Haugen Interfaces can have multiple IP addresses of the same protocol (v4 or v6): t5yi12595vbs1v6:/etc # ip addr show lo 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 brd 127.255.255.255 scope host lo inet 127.0.0.2/8 brd 127.255.255.255 scope host secondary lo inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever They can't be seen with ifconfig: t5yi12595vbs1v6:~ # ifconfig lo lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 ... Facter seems to choose the last one available: t5yi12595vbs1v6:~ # /opt/puppetlabs/bin/facter ipaddress_lo 127.0.0.2 Affects as new as 3.0.1 (prerelease, but near gold): t5yi12595vbs1v6:~ # /opt/puppetlabs/bin/facter --version 3.0.1 (commit fe9df8a0719361c88fb3726dc535d04b80759871) Facter should use the first IP as the address, not the last one. How the additional addresses should be represented will be complicated, as structured facts only have ip and ip6 keys and have strings as values, and also have corresponding netmasks &c. Most likely we'll need an array of interface address hashes containing the netmasks and any other properties that may exist, if any. One last bit: t5yi12595vbs1v6:/etc # cat sysconfig/network/ifcfg-lo # Loopback (lo) configuration IPADDR=127.0.0.1 NETMASK=255.0.0.0 NETWORK=127.0.0.0 BROADCAST=127.255.255.255 IPADDR_2=127.0.0.2/8 STARTMODE=onboot USERCONTROL=no This is the default on sles 10 from puppetlabs' internal VM infrastructure.
