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.

Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
.The `firewall` system role can add or remove an interface to the zone using PCI device ID Using the PCI device ID, the `firewall` system role can now assign or remove a network interface to or from a zone. Previously, if only the PCI device ID was known instead of the interface name, users had to first identify the corresponding interface name to use the `firewall` system role. With this update, the `firewall` system role can now use the PCI device ID to manage a network interface in a zone.

Description Brennan Paciorek 2022-06-24 18:12:23 UTC 
Need the ability to add/remove an interface by PCI device ID to a zone.

Comment 3 Brennan Paciorek 2022-06-27 18:49:47 UTC 
This feature appears to already be supported by the firewall system role. For example, the following options work in the firewall system role as it is currently:
firewall:
  - interface: 8086:15d7 # Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection PCI id
    state: enabled

If the D-bus interface supports adding by PCI device ID, then the system role should as well.

@egarver - Are we certain that this feature is not already supported by the system role? For interfaces, we only really restrict user actions with errors that the D-bus interface will raise.

Yes. We're certain it is NOT supported.

The above is accepted by firewalld, but it doesn't work. The PCI ID is passed directly to firewalld which treats it like a plain interface name.
So you end up with rules like this: `iifname "8086:15d7" goto filter_IN_public`. But that should be translated by the role to a real interface name.

The NetworkManager integration is done in the UIs. See calls to nm_*() and try_set_zone_of_interface(). The role will have to do something similar.

Note: Ideally this magic would be done in the daemon. I don't know the history of why it is not. Maybe it has something to do with user privileges and polkit (authorization).
