ipdiscover and hosts with bonded interfaces

[Daniel Rich]

The OCS Inventory ipdiscover code seems to have issues with hosts that have bonded interfaces. For almost all of my servers with bonds, I'm seeing them both in the inventory *and* in ipdiscover, with the same MAC address in both. For example, one of my LDAP servers has the following in the interface inventory:

Description Type Speed MAC address Status IP address Netmask Gateway Network number DHCP IP
bond0 Ethernet F4:CE:46:B9:3B:F4 Up 10.110.10.203 255.255.255.0 10.110.10.1 10.110.10.0
eth0 Ethernet F4:CE:46:B9:3B:F4 Up 10.110.10.1 0.0.0.0 10.110.10.149
eth1 Ethernet F4:CE:46:B9:3B:F4 Up 10.110.10.1 0.0.0.0

yet also shows up in ipdiscover for the 10.110.10 subnet with a duplicated entry (with the hostname replaced):

IP address MAC address Netmask Date DNS name Delete Register
10.110.10.203 f4:ce:46:b9:3b:f4 (Hewlett Packard) 255.255.255.0 2013-08-14 14:03:27 hostname.example.com
10.110.10.203 f4:ce:46:b9:3b:f4 (Hewlett Packard) 255.255.255.0 2013-08-14 14:03:27 hostname.example.com

Since I see this on most of my hosts with bonds, I'm assuming it's happening because it finds the same MAC on multiple interfaces and doesn't know how to handle it.

Here is the ipconfig output from this host:

Any ideas what might be happening and/or how to fix it? I was seeing this on 2.0.5 and I'm still seeing it in 2.1RC1. The host is still running the 2.0.5 agent as I haven't had a chance to upgrade all of my agents yet.
