Change the Netmask into Prefix Length in IPv6 settings and using digital as its value
Last modified: 2014-01-21 14:44:02 EST
Created attachment 768617 [details] ipv6 setting Description of problem: In IPv6 settings, we should using prefix length install of netmask. And we should allow input digital as its value install of ipv6 address. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhev-hypervisor6-6.5-20130222.0.auto1707.el6.iso ovirt-node-3.0.0-1.999.20130701111251git99aadc6.el6.noarch How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Clean install the rhev-hypervisor6-6.5. 2. Configure the network with ipv6 static mode. IP Address: 2001:da8::9000::82 Netmask: 64 Actual results: After step2, it not allow you to input like that. And the netmaks should be prefix length. Expected results: After step2, the digital can be accepted. The netmaks is instead as prefix length. Additional info:
Test version: rhev-hypervisor6-6.5-20130725.0.iso ovirt-node-3.0.0-6.1.el6.noarch Test steps: 1. clear install rhev-hypervisor6-6.5-20130725.0.iso. 2. Enter Network page configure NIC with ipv6 static mode. a. IP Address: 2001:da8::9000::82 Netmask: 64 b. IP Address: 2001:da8::9000::82 Netmask: 2001:: Test result: 1. The Netmask accepts the digital as input. 2. The Netmask accepts the ipv6 address as input also. As qe's option, we need to add the following modifications. 1. Change "Netmask" into "Prefix Length" in TUI. Because in IPv6, we call netmask as prefix length. 2. It should be better to not accept ipv6 address as the prefix length. In other words, the input as b in step2 should not be allowed. So change the status from ON_QA to ASSIGNED since there still need some modifications. Thanks huiwang
Another patch is introduced to change the wording and to only allow digits as the prefix length.
Test version: rhev-hypervisor6-6.5-20130930.0.auto665.el6.iso ovirt-node-3.0.1-3.el6.noarch Test steps and results: 1. clear install rhev-hypervisor6-6.5-20130930.0.auto665.el6.iso. 2. Enter Network page configure NIC with ipv6 static mode. a. IP Address: 2001:da8::9000::82 Prefix Length : 64 pass b. IP Address: 2001:da8::9000::82 Prefix Length : 2001:: fail So this bug is fixed in rhev-hypervisor6-6.5-20130930.0.auto665.el6.iso. I will recheck it when I get official build.
Test version: rhev-hypervisor6-6.5-20131017.0.iso ovirt-node-3.0.1-4.el6.noarch Test steps and results: 1. clear install rhev-hypervisor6-6.5-20131017.0.iso. 2. Enter Network page configure NIC with ipv6 static mode. a. IP Address: 2001:da8::9000::82 Prefix Length : 64 pass b. IP Address: 2001:da8::9000::82 Prefix Length : 2001:: fail The bug is fixed in rhev-hypervisor6-6.5-20131017.0.iso. So change the bug's status from ON_QA to VERIFIED.
