Bug #14785
Updated by Marcos M 8 months ago
If a compressed IPv6 VIP exists, the interface's primary IPv6 address will be set to the VIP even when a non-VIP GUA exists. Example (partially redacted):
<pre>
vmx1.98: flags=1008843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,LOWER_UP> metric 0 mtu 1500
description: ISP2
options=4000000<MEXTPG>
ether 00:50:56:b2:b1:89

</pre>
Here, the primary address should be @GUA:GUA:GUA:GUA:250:56ff:feb2:b189@, but instead Status > Interfaces shows it's @VIP:VIP:VIP:VIP:5:5:0:1@.
