Bug #16005: Puppet agent generates ifconfig warnings on InfiniBand systems
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16005

Author: Mark Dixon
Status: Unreviewed
Priority: Normal

Category: agent
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.18
Keywords: infiniband ifconfig
Branch: 


Hi,

I'm currently running puppet 2.7.18 with CentOS 6.3 and RHEL 6.3.

I have some systems with InfiniBand network cards and IP addresses configured 
on those interfaces. When puppet starts up, I get the following message printed 
112 times on stderr:

<PRE>
Ifconfig uses the ioctl access method to get the full address information, 
which limits hardware addresses to 8 bytes.
Because Infiniband address has 20 bytes, only the first 8 bytes are displayed 
correctly.
Ifconfig is obsolete! For replacement check ip.
</PRE>

This is somewhat annoying.

Could puppet start using the `ip` command and save my sanity, please?

:)

Mark
