Jira (FACT-345) IPv6 - interface missing

[Bernd Zeimetz (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Bernd Zeimetz commented on an issue   Re: IPv6 - interface missing As mentioned on the other bug report: On Linux the first major problem is that the ipaddress6 fact uses ifconfig -a, which is deprectaed since a longish time and - which is much more important - is not able to show all IP addresses which are assigned to an interface. A good start would be something like this: ip -o -6 a sh | grep -Ev 'inet6 (fe80:|::1)' 2: eth0 inet6 xxxx:1aa4:5004:106::e891/64 scope global deprecated \ valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: eth0 inet6 xxxx:1aa8:5004:106::6aaf/64 scope global \ valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever Non deprecated addresses should probably be listed first. See http://www.davidc.net/networking/ipv6-source-address-selection-linux for details. WIthout looking at the code I'm kinde sure that the ipaddress fact has similar issues, at least regarding the usage of the deprecated ifconfig tool. I'm mentioning this here as FACT-345 was closed, marking it as duplicate of this bug. Add Comment   Facter / FACT-345 IPv6 - interface missing The IPv6 address facts are inconsistent: not all interfaces get a ipaddress6_<interface> fact. In my case I have eth0 and eth1, both with IP addresses, but facter creates facts "ipaddress6_eth0" and "ipaddress6" (with eth1's address). There should be an "ipaddress_eth1" fact too. If I add a second IPv6 address to an interface the behavior is even more ...
