Zabbix Server on Linux |

| Description |
|
Steps to reproduce:
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.}}

I see this is confirmed, but no action on resolving. I've upgraded to 7.02, which still exhibits this issue and is a significant problem on sites with local IP6 networks. |
