Description Ricardo Medina 2017-06-08 16:48:54 UTC
Description of problem:

The current ipfailover keepalived image doesn't support IPv6 addresses or ranges nor IP address validation. For example, adding an IPv6 address to the `oadm ipfailover` command will result in a new vrrp section pertaining to an address that only contains the numeric components of the address (for example, if using 2001:DB8:1ABC::1F39, one would end up with 200181139 as an IP address).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
v1.5.1

How reproducible:
Always. Just pass any IPv6 address (or an invalid IPv4 address) to the `oadm ipfailover` command

Steps to Reproduce:
1. oadm ipfailover --virtual-ips="192.0.2.100,2001:DB8:1ABC::1F39"
2. PODNAME=$(oc get pods |grep -o "^ipfailover[0-9a-zA-Z-]*") && oc exec ${PODNAME} cat /etc/keepalived/keepalived.conf 
3. Verify that one of the virtual_ipaddress section contains "200181139"

Actual results:

Address 2001:DB8:1ABC::1F39 is represented as 200181139

Expected results:

Address 2001:DB8:1ABC::1F39 is represented as 2001:DB8:1ABC::1F39


Additional info:

I have a working patch for the image, for which I'll create a pull request referencing this bug.

Verified this bug on openshift v3.6.131

when input invalid ipv4/ipv6 address when creating ipfailover pod. it will return the error:

# oadm ipfailover ipf1 --virtual-ips=2001:DB8::39FB:2::2
error: Invalid IP address: 2001:DB8::39FB:2::2
[root@host-8-175-105 ~]# oadm ipfailover ipf1 --virtual-ips=192.12.1.1.1
error: Invalid IP address: 192.12.1.1.1
