Description

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

Jeff, can you also attach the output of (as root) /sbin/ip addr on a system with trunking and virtuals.

Cheers
