Zabbix server doesn't support IPV6 link local format addresses

XMLWordPrintable

    • Type: Incident report
    • Resolution: Unresolved
    • Priority: Trivial
    • None
    • Affects Version/s: 6.4.13
    • Component/s: Server (S)
    • None
    • Environment:
      Zabbix Server on Linux

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. Use IPV6 configuration with link-local addressing
      2. Attempt to auto-register servers via Zabbix Agent2

      Result:

      New servers will not auto-register that have IPV6 link local addresses
      **

      Expected:

      Zabbix server should allow link local address formats

       

      On linux servers with IPV6 enabled, clients using link-local addressing will report a format via getnameinfo() that has the link-local address followed by a '%' and the network interface name.

      Example:

       

      fe80::62a4:4cff:fe05:dc1b%eth0

       

      zbx_is_ip(), and more specifically zbx_is_ip6(){{ will fail due to the interface extension requirement for link-local addresses.}}
