Interface discovery on solaris on depricated interfaces

[cscott]

On solaris interface discovery doesn't seem to pickup interfaces in deprecated mode. Is this by design or just by luck?

If its by design it is not desirable in all situations.

eg if you have a sun cluster with zones and the cluster manages the zones ips, the interfaces appear as deprecated, thus no network interfaces are picked up

eg


root@[~] ifconfig -a
lo0:3: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv 4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
e1000g0:4: flags=1001040843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DE PRECATED,IPv4,FIXEDMTU> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 10.44.126.69 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 10.44.126.255
igb0:5: flags=1001040843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DE PRECATED,IPv4,FIXEDMTU> mtu 1500 index 3
inet 10.44.19.110 netmask ffffff80 broadcast 10.44.19.127


root@mk-zabbix-1[~] /opt/zabbix/bin/zabbix_get -k net.if.discovery -s 10.44.19.110
