It shows me the public IPv4 and IPv6 addresses configured on eth0, plus a second link-local IPv6 address, but doesn't have any indication that there's a second network interface configured on the node. Likewise, when I check the network information via the API: curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" https://api.linode.com/v4/linode/instances/xxxxxxxx/ips | python3 -m json.tool { "ipv4": { "public": [ { "address": "(this is the only IP shown)", ... } ], "private": [], "shared": [], "reserved": [] }, ... } It has no information about the VLAN! This is leading to a little bit of trouble trying to programmatically manage my hosts with the Linode Ansible Collection <https://github.com/linode/ansible_linode> – I want to configure nodes to connect to one another using the VLAN, but it's not very straightforward trying to match a host to its 10.0.0.* address with the information that is readily available through the API, (I can get the *configuration* for eth1 with the /configs endpoint, but the address should really be included in the list of IPs in to begin with). In short – are there any plans to include VLAN configs into the more general network info available in the API and web UI? — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub <#8618>, or unsubscribe <https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/A34O2WI2WQR2NO47ONQFSJTWI3YF5ANCNFSM6AAAAAASEBI6FA> .

   Also trying to manage a dynamic Ansible inventory and need VLAN IP info accessible via the API.

   @jennierose did you end up coming up with a solution you were happy with?
