Test: cts: Add cts-lab --nic option used for generated IP address resources #3982

…ources More distributions are using systemd's network device naming schemes: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd.net-naming-scheme.html In that case, eth0 is no longer the default interface name.

We should note that this applies only if --ip is set to an IPv6 address.
Alternatively, we could modify cib.py so that it applies to both IPv4 and IPv6 base addresses.
As a side note, I'm not sure that explicitly setting a nic parameter is required anymore for IPv6, in most cases. It looks like the IPaddr2 resource agent should be able to find the correct interface via its findif.sh helper. For example:
IPv6 support in IPaddr2 was probably less mature (or perhaps nonexistent) when CTS lab was written.

Makes sense. The latter sounds better to me.

I assume so. But nic parameter is anyway mandatory for a link local address:
, such as the ones by defaulting --ip.

We might want something like: #3986
I'll have to test it tomorrow though.
