Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-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 Corey Welton 2013-04-18 13:30:19 UTC 
Description of problem:
Currently when creating a host, mac addresses can only be entered using colon-separated notation.  We should be more flexible than this.

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


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Begin creation of host in foreman portion of build
2.  Attempt to enter a mac address, "50-81-AB-92-B1-20"
3.  fill in the rest of your data; submit.
  
Actual results:

User is told that the submitted format is invalid.  If user enters it colon-separated (i.e., 50:81:AB:92:B1:20) it is accepted.

Expected results:

All valid formats are accepted.  Note that I don't really care which way it is saved.... user can enter it dash-separated and it can be saved in a colon separated format.  But we should allow it.

Comment 1 Ohad Levy 2013-04-21 18:24:00 UTC 
actually, just fyi, foreman also accepts macs without seperation (e.g. aabbccddeeff)
Comment 2 Bryan Kearney 2013-05-28 19:45:18 UTC 
Based on Comment 1, moving this to ON_QA.
Comment 3 Corey Welton 2013-06-05 13:01:53 UTC 
Not fixed, or at least not in current puddle.

entering "50-81-AB-92-B1-20" as a MAC address returns:

can't be blank and is invalid
