Karsten Heymann created an issue   Facter / FACT-2016 Add the scope of found ipv6 addresses (global/linklocal/...) as a fact Issue Type: Improvement Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2019/09/11 6:45 AM Priority: Minor Reporter: Karsten Heymann Puppet Version: any Puppet Server Version: any OS Name/Version: any For certain configuration tasks, it is important to know not only if a host has an IPv6 address (networking.ip6 is not empty), but also if that address is a globally routable address or a link-local address.  Desired Behavior: **facter returns the scope for the ip6 address it finds:    $ facter -p networking.ip6 2001:4860:4860::8888 $ facter -p networking.ip6_scope global $ facter -p networking.ip6 fe80::a800:ff:fe63:14d5 $ facter -p networking.ip6_scope link   Actual Behavior: networking.ip6_scope does not exist. The scope information can be derived from the output of ip:   ip -6 a l dev eth0 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 state UP qlen 1000 inet6 fe80::a800:ff:fe63:14d5/64 **scope link** <--- valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever     Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.7.1#77002-sha1:e75ca93) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
