Jira (FACT-2878) Networking fact improvements for Aix

Issue Type:	Task
Assignee:	Unassigned
Created:	2020/11/27 9:38 AM
Priority:	Normal
Reporter:	Andrei Filipovici

Expand networking resolver to display VLANs and secondary IPs.

All secondary IPs must be displayed in the bindings/bindings6 section of the physical interface. Secondary IPs that have a label, will also be displayed as a separate interface.

Make sure inactive interfaces are also displayed.

Make sure the resolver is able to extract IPs from interfaces inside an OpenVZ environment. E.g. a normal ip might be displayed like

inet *11.0.0.2/24* scope global ens192:2

an OpenVz ip might be displayed like this

inet 11.0.0.5 peer *11.0.0.2/24* scope global ens192:2

Re: Networking fact improvements for Aix

We should investigate differences between Facter 3 and Facter 4

Expand networking resolver to display VLANs and secondary IPs.

- All secondary IPs must be displayed in the bindings/bindings6 section of the physical interface. Secondary IPs that have a label, will also be displayed as a separate interface.

- Make sure inactive interfaces are also displayed.

- Make sure the resolver is able to extract IPs from interfaces inside an OpenVZ environment. E.g. a normal ip might be displayed like
{code:}

inet *11.0.0.2/24* scope global ens192:2

{code}

an OpenVz ip might be displayed like this

{code:}

inet 11.0.0.5 peer *11.0.0.2/24* scope global ens192:2

{code}
The OpenVz part is not important because we can't create an environment to test it.

Check that if primary interface can not be retrieved it's returned as the first interface with a valid ip.(Better check the facter 3 implementation)
