Facter 3.x uses the getifaddrs function to enumerate the interfaces directly from the kernel, so it isn't susceptible to that particular problem, although as you've discovered it returns unique interfaces for what should be logically considered "secondary". If you have access to Facter 2.x on this same system, I'd be curious to see if it would output the secondary interface / address information. If not, I think we could consider Facter's 3.x behavior to be a bug and fix it by moving the secondary interfaces to where they belong. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Puppet Users" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to puppet-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/puppet-users/6F5D8E9E-DC38-402B-B254-85949A7DDC81%40orange.fr > . > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- *Join us at **PuppetConf 2015, October 5-9 in Portland, OR - *www. <http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNEnS7itqgvQV3E4Se1fu4Um_UapSw> 2015.puppetconf.com <http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2F2015.puppetconf.com&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNE1uQL4Sh23Vr-XkPLa4xfNcoXSog> *Register early to save 40%!* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
