fix(nvswitch-manager): bracket IPv6 SCP destinations in firmware scripts by chet · Pull Request #6190 · dsx-ai-factory/infra-controller

chet · 2026-09-15T06:33:59Z

NVSwitch firmware copies fail when the CPLD or NVOS script receives a bare IPv6 address. SCP needs brackets around that address so it can distinguish the host from the remote path.

Before: admin@2001:db8::1:/home/admin
After:  admin@[2001:db8::1]:/home/admin

Both scripts now format the SCP destination this way. IPv4 destinations, credentials, remote paths, and the original address passed to SSH and ping stay unchanged.

Model Findings Details

Codex self-review

No findings.

CodeRabbit CLI

Declined -- Normalize bracketed NVOS input before SSH. The live caller supplies bare net.IP.String() values. SSH/ping handling of manually bracketed input predates this change and is outside the SCP correction.
Declined -- Normalize bracketed CPLD input before SSH. The same caller contract applies; this fix preserves existing SSH arguments.
Declined -- Add a Go module and CI task for the script tests. The existing REST module and test-nvswitch-manager CI target already run this package.
Declined -- Repeat the CPLD normalization request. Duplicate of item 2.
Declined -- Repeat the NVOS normalization request. Duplicate of item 1.

Claude CLI

Declined -- Normalize bracketed script input or remove the compatibility rows. The rows check SCP formatting and unchanged SSH arguments, not complete firmware support for bracketed input. Production supplies bare addresses.
Adopted -- Explain why SCP uses a separate host value. Added a short reason beside both formatting blocks.
Declined -- Fix the sibling Redfish URLs. That separate correction is covered by issue Fix IPv6 Redfish URLs in NVSwitch firmware scripts #6186.
Declined -- Normalize input in the NVOS bundle wrapper. This is pre-existing argument handling outside the SCP destination correction.
Adopted -- Keep recorded arguments out of the command search path. The test now uses a separate directory for records.
Declined -- Append recorded SSH calls instead of overwriting them. The stub deliberately fails the first SSH call, and the test asserts that exit path; no second call is reachable.

common-nits-reviewer

No findings.

The CPLD and NVOS firmware scripts put the switch address directly into the SCP destination. An address like `2001:db8::1` becomes `admin@2001:db8::1:/home/admin`, so SCP treats the first colon as the separator before the remote path and the copy fails. Bracket the IPv6 host for SCP while leaving the original address in the SSH and ping calls. IPv4 destinations and hosts that already have brackets keep their existing format. The regression runs both scripts with recorded SCP and SSH arguments, then stops before installing firmware or rebooting a switch.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Improved firmware update scripts to correctly handle unbracketed IPv6 switch addresses during file transfers.
- Preserved the supplied address format for SSH and connectivity checks.
- Maintained existing transfer failure handling.
Tests
- Added coverage for firmware updates using IPv4, IPv6, and bracketed IPv6 addresses.

Walkthrough

The CPLD and NVOS firmware scripts now bracket unbracketed IPv6 hosts for SCP. SSH and ping retain the supplied switch address. An integration test validates IPv4, IPv6, and bracketed IPv6 behavior.

Changes

IPv6 SCP support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
SCP host normalization `rest-api/nvswitch-manager/scripts/nvswupdCPLD.sh`, `rest-api/nvswitch-manager/scripts/nvswupdNVOS.sh`	The scripts create an SCP-specific host value. They bracket unbracketed IPv6 addresses before invoking `scp`. SSH and ping continue to use the original address.
Script integration validation `rest-api/nvswitch-manager/pkg/firmwaremanager/scripts_scp_test.go`	`TestSCPFirmwareScripts` runs both scripts with IPv4, IPv6, and bracketed IPv6 hosts. It validates SCP and SSH arguments, exit status `1`, and the `"Remote file not found after copy"` message.

IPv6 firmware transfers can expose administrator credentials to an attacker on the management network. Trusted SSH host authentication should be added before merge.
