Description

Cloned from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1193007
Description of problem:
we know that alias interfaces can be configured statically, you can't configure when dhcp is set on same subnet. And currently when you configure a alias interface on same subnet where provisioning is configured and obviously for which bootmode is set to 'DHCP', UI doesn't raise any error/warning on UI.

And user can't set static because provisioning is configured on same subnet. So only way is to add new subnet and use that to configure aliases statically.

I'm not how this can be handled in current design. But I think its a valid case.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite-6.1.0-RHEL-6-20150210.0
Sat6.1.0 beta snap2

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a alias interface on same subnet where provisioning is configured and BootMode set to 'DHCP'
2.
3.

Actual results:
Add_interface form doesn'r raise any warning or error. User gets to know only when alias interface will not be configured on provisioned host.

Expected results:
UI should give some way or raise a warning when submiting the add_interface form for alias interface with bootmode set to dhcp on same subnet.

Update 2018 for the record: This constraint is too strict, it is perfectly fine to have an alias interface configured with DHCP as long as the physical interface is not configured with DHCP. So the correct check is to verify on the host level that all interfaces with same MAC address (e.g. aliases) have only one subnet with DHCP mode on. And also this should be only warning I guess.
