Bug Description
When NetworkManager is configured to assign a link-local IPv4 address to an
interface, it ends up with a global scope. This happens in two cases:
- Configure method=link-local
- Configure method=manual, addresses1=
$ ip link show dev <iface> # for both methods
inet 169.254.x.y/16 brd 169.254.255.255 scope global <iface>
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
Expected output:
inet 169.254.x.y/16 brd 169.254.255.255 scope link <iface>
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
This behavior causes conflicts with two network interfaces having the same
_link-local_ address.
