- Why I did it
Meet the requirement for the MUX_CABLE table that IPv6 loopbacks have a /128 prefix
- How I did it
Manually remove existing prefix by splitting IP string, then use Python's
ipaddress
module to implicitly add /128 prefix.Note that this change only affects the MUX_CABLE table, all other tables continue to use the loopback address provided in minigraph.
- How to verify it
