Title: Message Title

john created an issue   Facter / FACT-2843 scop6 facter should be per binding not per interface Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: FACT 4.0.43 Assignee: Unassigned Components: Facter 4 Created: 2020/10/20 6:24 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: john   Interface can have multiple ipv6 addresses and each addresses can have a different scope.  currently facter reports a scope6 fact at the interface level however it should more correctly report it at the binding level. As an example given the following interface: 2: en0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether aa:aa:bb:bb:cc:cc brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet6 2001:db8::aaaa:bbff:febb:cccc/64 scope global mngtmpaddr dynamic valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 2001:db8::1/64 scope global valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::aaaa:bbff:febb:cccc/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever  facter will report the following fact 'en0' => { 'bindings6' => [ { address => "2001:db8::aaaa:bbff:febb:cccc", netmask => "ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::", network => "2620:0:861:103::" }, { address => "2001:db8::1", netmask => "ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::", network => "2620:0:861:103::" }, { address => "fe80::aaaa:bbff:febb:cccc", netmask => "ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::", network => "fe80::" } ] 'scope6' => "global" However i think it would its more correct to have 'en0' => { 'bindings6' => [ { address => "2001:db8::aaaa:bbff:febb:cccc", netmask => "ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::", network => "2620:0:861:103::" 'scope' => "global" }, { address => "2001:db8::1", netmask => "ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::", network => "2620:0:861:103::" 'scope' => "global" }, { address => "fe80::aaaa:bbff:febb:cccc", netmask => "ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::", network => "fe80::" 'scope' => "link" } ] it would also be nice to capture the interface flags if they are present e.g. 'en0' => { 'bindings6' => [ { address => "2001:db8::aaaa:bbff:febb:cccc", netmask => "ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::", network => "2620:0:861:103::" 'scope' => "global" 'flags' => ['mngtmpaddr', 'dynamic'] }, { address => "2001:db8::1", netmask => "ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::", network => "2620:0:861:103::" 'scope' => "global" }, { address => "fe80::aaaa:bbff:febb:cccc", netmask => "ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::", network => "fe80::" 'scope' => "link" } ] Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.5.2#805002-sha1:a66f935) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
