IPv6 Interface Data Type

An ip6_interface data type tests data for being an instance of python's built-in class str and the string represents an IPv6 interface.

Features/Limitations

• Validate IP specific attributes
• Validate against allowed and not allowed IPv6 interfaces
• Supports Referencing Feature

IPv6 Interface Definition Syntax

Table

Key/Option	Type	Default Value	Restrictions	Description
type	str		'None'
description	str			Data type description
default_value			Must match data type's type(s)	Value used to set as default value
convert_to	str		Allowed values: - str
allowed_values	list			Data must match one of these values
- < value >	str		Must match data type's type(s)
not_allowed_values	list			Data mustn't match all of these values
- < value >	str		Must match data type's type(s)
link_local	bool			IP must be link-local
loopback	bool			IP must be loopback
multicast	bool			IP must be multicast
private	bool			IP must be private
public	bool			IP must be public/global
template	str		must be definded in schema	Merge options from this template
template_merge_options	dict			Define schema-global template merge instructions
recursive	bool	True		Merge data type definition options in template options recursively. If false, data type defintion options overwrites template options.
list_merge	str	append_rp	Allowed values: - append - append_rp - prepend - prepend_rp - replace	How lists within options data should be merged.
reference	dict|str
option 1	str			Reference keys (implies unique global mode)
option 2	dict
key	str		required
mode	str		Allowed values: - unique - producer - consumer
unique_scope	str		Allowed values: - global - namespace
producer_scope	str		Allowed values: - global - namespace
consumer_scope	str		Allowed values: - global - namespace
allow_orphan_producer	bool	True
credit	int	1 (if mode consumer)	min: 0
references	list[dict|str]
-	dict|str
option 1	str			Reference keys (implies unique global mode)
option 2	dict
key	str		required
mode	str		Allowed values: - unique - producer - consumer
unique_scope	str		Allowed values: - global - namespace
producer_scope	str		Allowed values: - global - namespace
consumer_scope	str		Allowed values: - global - namespace
allow_orphan_producer	bool	True
credit	int	1 (if mode consumer)	min: 0
doc_value_name	str			Set value name for documentation
