Howdy,
I’ve stumbled across this old-ish Github issue: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/1001
The information described there is something I’d really like to have access to through ansible,
and the issue’s page seems to imply that some patches to gather information on inactive and
bonded interfaces were added to the setup module at some point.
This doesn’t actually seem to be the case — the setup module discards information on
interfaces without an IP address. Am I missing something obvious? And if I’m correct that the
setup module as it exists now doesn’t return that information, is there a reason?
If the only reason is that no one ever bothered writing the patches, I’ll go ahead and do it. I just
want to make sure I’m not wasting my time before hand.
