Description

When creating a host via de API, one can omit setting the IPv6 address if IEU-64 mode is enabled on the selected subnet.
With just a single NIC, this results in a the correct IPv6 address being generated for that NIC, however, as soon as there are 2 NICs, it seems the non-primary NIC gets the same IPv6 as the primary NIC.

When making changes in the UI, foreman complains that there are duplicate IPv6 addresses configured for that Host.

I have not tested this yet with more NICs in the same IPv6 network.

Good news; identified the issue... a classic PEBCAK.
The API was called using twice the same IPv6 address. No wonder I couldn't reproduce it...

Closing it :-)
