Steps to Reproduce

To reproduce, create a FHRP Group I used the protocol of Other, Grp id 1, Name is the DNS name of the vip, set an IP address. Assign the FHRP group to a devices Interface(s). Once that is done do the following:

1. Go to IPAM
2. Click IP Addresses
3. Click Filter
4. in the Device / VM section chose the device you assigned
5. Click Search

Expected Behavior

I would expect to see the IP address of the VIP (FHRP Group below) to be returned as an IP for that device or vm.

FHRP Group

Observed Behavior

IP addresses are returned but just those that are assigned directly to an interface for a device, however the VIP that is assigned to an FHRP Grp and that is assigned to interfaces is not.

No VIP returned

@mkarel, I believe this is intentional. You expected behavior contradicts the decision made when fixing #9116.

Alternatively, you can use the existing fhrpgroup_id filter to find IPs assigned to FHRP groups.

@jnovinger, Thanks for the feedback, I will look at the fhrgroup_id filter. I guess what I don't understand is why when you filter on a device you would not want to see all IP's associated with that device.

I did notice that while fhrpgroup_id is present as a filter for the IP Address list view, it's not actually included in the filter form tab that's rendered for the page. We could probably stand to fix that.

As for why, that decision was before my time, so I'm unsure. If I find out, I'll let update this issue.

@jnovinger Would you like to reopen this request or should I resubmit?
