a non-public IP address bound
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: VCL-469
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-469
Project: VCL
Issue Type: Bug
Components: vcld (backend)
Affects Versions: 2.2.1
Reporter: Andy Kurth
Assignee: Andy Kurth
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 2.3
On rare occasion, a Windows computer will have an auto-generated IP address
bound as well as a valid public address bound to the same interface:
$ ipconfig
Windows IP Configuration
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : dcs.mcnc.org
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 152.46.16.224
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.248.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 152.46.23.254
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : dcs.mcnc.org
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 0.0.0.0
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 0.0.0.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :
Under this condition, the 0.0.0.0 address may be returned by
get_public_ip_address, causing a reservation to fail. Update the code to
return the valid public IP address.
