Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
An extra set of quotes is added to IPV6ADDR_SECONDARIES in the ifcfg file.
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
[root@localhost ~]# cat enp2s0.xml
<interface type='ethernet' name='enp2s0'>
<start mode='onboot'/>
<protocol family='ipv6'>
<ip address='2002::200' prefix='64'/>
<ip address='2002::201' prefix='64'/>
<ip address='2002::202' prefix='64'/>
</protocol>
</interface>
[root@localhost ~]# virsh iface-define enp2s0.xml
Interface enp2s0 defined from enp2s0.xml
[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp2s0
DEVICE=enp2s0
ONBOOT=yes
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6_AUTOCONF=no
DHCPV6C=no
IPV6ADDR=2002::200/64
IPV6ADDR_SECONDARIES="'2002::201/64 2002::202/64'"
[root@localhost ~]# virsh iface-dumpxml enp2s0
<interface type='ethernet' name='enp2s0'>
<start mode='onboot'/>
<protocol family='ipv6'>
<ip address='2002::200' prefix='64'/>
<ip address='2002::201' prefix='64'/>
<ip address='2002::202' prefix='64'/>
</protocol>
</interface>
[root@localhost ~]# virsh iface-start enp2s0
Interface enp2s0 started
[root@localhost ~]# virsh iface-dumpxml enp2s0
<interface type='ethernet' name='enp2s0'>
<protocol family='ipv6'>
<ip address='2002::200' prefix='64'/>
<ip address='fe80::21b:21ff:fe27:4ece' prefix='64'/>
</protocol>
<link speed='1000' state='up'/>
<mac address='00:1b:21:27:4e:ce'/>
</interface>
[root@localhost ~]# ip ad show enp2s0
3: enp2s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000
link/ether 00:1b:21:27:4e:ce brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 fe80::21b:21ff:fe27:4ece/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
Actual results:
As shown above steps, IPV6ADDR_SECONDARIES setting in ifcfg files was being set with an extra set of single quotes.
Expected results:
fix it
Additional info:
Should like below:
[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp2s0
DEVICE=enp2s0
ONBOOT=yes
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6_AUTOCONF=no
DHCPV6C=no
IPV6ADDR=2002::200/64
IPV6ADDR_SECONDARIES="2002::201/64 2002::202/64"
