After updating Zabbix server from 7.0.16 to 7.0.21 Â we are experiencing strange behaviours in Network Discovery logic on hosts with multiple IP addresses
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a host with its primary address on its agent interface (i.e. 192.168.64.5)
- Configure a Network discovery rule with two agent checks: Â system.hostname and system.uname. Set scan update interval to 2m. Set Device unique criteria to "system.hostname"

- Let Zabbix discover the first IP and associate to the monitored host
- Add a secondary address to the host  (192.168.64.10) and let Zabbix discover this second IP too
- See Discovery result
Result:
- the first IP is marked as not discovered anymore (with red background, which is WRONG)
- the uptime/downtime counter gets reset every 2 minutes for both addresses (which again is WRONG)
- See screenshot{}



Expected:
The two IP addresses are both reported as discovered, as in older Zabbix release.

Â
This behaviour severly breaks our logic discovery logic on clusters and several other systems with multiple IPs, leading to undesired host deletion.Â
I suspect this can be a side effect of the ZBX-26863 fix.
