IPv6 access to devices

[jackouille-ch]

Using Cacti 1.2.12 and Spine 1.2.12 on a CentOS 7 with PHP 7.3.19, server configured in dual Stack IPv4/IPv6, PHP-SNMP 5.7.2, I have the following issue:
Configuring [2a00:81a0:2300:50::9999] as Hostname: SNMP queries are working but NOT Pings
Configuring udp6:[2a00:81a0:2300:50::9999] as Hostname: SNMP queries are NOT working but Pings YES

From Device Management I have also changed the Downed Device Detection to SNMP Uptime only. Usually I'm using Ping AND SNMP Uptime.

Disabling PHP-SNMP is not yet possible for me because I have created some PHP scripts that uses snmp2:get functions.

Suggestion solution:
Indicate that IPv6 address must be written without Brackets
Use the provide IPv6 address for SNMP queries
For ping, check if double-points are present within IP address and if yes, add udp6: before address to be used to ping.

It's is a known issue that currently spine does not support IPv6 native ping. Both cacti's cmd.php and GUI are know to support IPv6 though. There is already an open bug in the spine issue list for ICMPv6.
