Zach L created an issue   Facter / FACT-1776 FreeBSD network facts resolution surprise Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: FACT 3.9.0 Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2017/10/07 9:30 PM Priority: Normal Reporter: Zach L I'm running FreeBSD 11.1 with facter 3.9 and I have a few jails that bind an address to the lo1 interface which is a local loopback address and perhap not an AF_LINK, but I don't know. To execute the facts in a jail, I run the following. #iocage exec git2 facter networking { domain => "lab.example.com", fqdn => "git2.lab.example.com", hostname => "git2", interfaces => { igb0 => { bindings => [ { address => "10.0.0.122", netmask => "255.255.255.255", network => "10.0.0.122" } ], ip => "10.0.0.122", mac => "00:25:90:aa:aa:cc", mtu => 1500, netmask => "255.255.255.255", network => "10.0.0.122" }, igb1 => { mac => "00:25:90:aa:aa:cd", mtu => 9000 }, lagg0 => { mac => "00:25:90:aa:aa:cd", mtu => 9000 }, lo0 => { mtu => 16384 }, lo1 => { bindings6 => [ { address => "2000:100:20::105", netmask => "ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff", network => "2000:100:20::105" } ], ip6 => "2000:100:20::105", mtu => 9000, netmask6 => "ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff", network6 => "2000:100:20::105" } }, ip => "10.0.0.122", mac => "00:25:90:aa:aa:cc", mtu => 1500, netmask => "255.255.255.255", network => "10.0.0.122", primary => "igb0" } Since the igb0 interface has an ipv4 address, it shows up under networking.ip4, but the ipv6 address from lo1 does not show up under inetworking.ip6, even though its the only ipv6 address that the jail has. I believe this is also causing {[facter ipaddress6}} to return empty, which is a heavily used fact in my environment. I suspect that the desired behaviour for me here is that if an interface has an address on ip6, and it is the only interface with ip6, then it should be promoted to ipaddress6. Perhaps the reason for this issue I'm bumping into is due to being bound to a localhost interface of lo1.
