Facter (on all platforms) doesn't handle multiple interfaces very well. The logic is typically pick the ipaddress from the "first" interface. See http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5816 This code is undergoing some changes. See http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/1346 and https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/pull/267 On Windows the current logic is: require 'socket' IPSocket.getaddress(Socket.gethostname) I'm not sure why it does this to be honest. I would have expected it to use WMI to only report on interfaces that have IP enabled, something like: wmic nicconfig where (IPEnabled = "true") get IPAddress Or using netsh: netsh.exe interface ip show ipaddresses 10 where 10 is my interface index for my "Local Area Connection" interface Note facter does, or at least should be, reporting on the ipaddress associated with each interface, downcased and with underscores. In my case: ipaddress_local_area_connection => 172.16.138.231 ipaddress_loopback_pseudo_interface_1 => 127.0.0.1 Josh -- Josh Cooper Developer, Puppet Labs -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
