Feature #3734: ipaddress fact does not handle virtual and trunked interfaces 
gracefully
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3734

Author: Jeff McCune
Status: Needs More Information
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Paul Nasrat
Category: library
Target version: 1.6.x
Keywords: ipaddress, facter, interface, trunk, virtual
Branch: 
Affected Facter version: 


Impact Data
This issue was brought up in a puppetmaster training session in Boston, MA the 
first week of May 2010.

Problem statement
The ipaddress fact does not handle interfaces that are both trunked and virtual 
such as eth0.1:2

Desired Behavior
We need to know from facter if an interface is virtual or is trunked or is 
both.  Right now there is no easy way to differentiate.

Actual Behavior:
The ipaddress fact behaves like so:

When trunked interfaces get a period, when virtual they get a :, like eth0:1 or 
eth0.1
On some machines there are both, like eth0.1:2

Two issues, one facter should differentiate between trunked and virtual 
interfaces.  Two, when there is a virtual interface on a trunk, it is currently 
lost.  eth0.1:2 becomes eth0_1
