Issue #13291 has been updated by Ken Barber.

Category set to library

Good question. We can't support : or . because these are illegal in Puppet 
variable names.

If we had structured facts (hashes and arrays) - the hash key/value for the 
interface would of course support any chars you would like.

Bug #13291: Can't reconstitute subinterface/VLAN names from facter.
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13291#change-57781

Author: Trevor Vaughan
Status: Unreviewed
Priority: High
Assignee: 
Category: library
Target version: 
Keywords: interface, subinterface, vlan, tagging, reverse
Branch: 
Affected Facter version: 1.6.6


So, I see in the bug tracker where facter replaces all instances of '.' and ':' 
with '_' when looking at interfaces.

However, I don't know how I can tell whether or not this is a subinterface or a 
VLAN tag.

eth0:0 ~> eth0_0
eth0.0 ~> eth0_0

So, how can I reverse eth0_0 to the proper starting item?
