Hello Saverio,

Many thanks for the reply, I'll answer your queries below;

Hello,

while the problem is in place, you should share the output of

ip rule show
ip route show table 1

It could be just a problem in your ruleset

Of course, these are those outputs ;

root@test1:~# ip rule show
0:      from all lookup local
32764:  from all to 10.0.16.11 lookup rt2
32765:  from 10.0.16.11 lookup rt2
32766:  from all lookup main
32767:  from all lookup default

root@test1:~# ip route show table 1
default via 10.0.16.1 dev eth1
10.0.16.0/24 dev eth1  scope link  src 10.0.16.11



and, which one is your webserver ? can you tcpdump to make sure reply
packets get out on the NIC with src address 10.0.16.11 ?

Saverio

The instance has its two vNICs with source addresses 10.0.0.11 & 10.0.16.11, and the web-server is listening on both.

The HTTP packets do seem to be getting out from 10.0.16.11 as source, but are stopped elsewhere upstream.

I've attached two pcaps showing HTTP reply packets, one from 10.0.0.11 (first vNIC; HTTP request and reply works to a remote client) and one from 10.0.16.11 (second vNIC; HTTP request is sent, reply not received by remote client). In the latter case, the server starts to make retransmissions to the remote client.

Kind regards,
Paul Browne

Hello Operators,

For reasons not yet amenable to persuasion otherwise, a customer of our
ML2+OVS classic implemented OpenStack would like to map two floating IPs
pulled from two separate external network floating IP pools, to two
different vNICs on his instances.

The floating IP pools correspond to one pool routable from the external
Internet and another, RFC1918 pool routable from internal University
networks.

The tenant private networks are arranged as two RFC1918 VXLANs, each with a
router to one of the two external networks.

10.0.0.0/24 -> route to -> 128.232.226.0/23

10.0.16.0/24 -> route to -> 172.24.46.0/23


Mapping two floating IPs to instances isn't possible in Horizon, but is
possible from command-line. This doesn't immediately work, however, as the
return traffic from the instance needs to be sent back through the correct
router gateway interface and not the instance default gateway.

I'd initially thought this would be possible by placing a second routing
table on the instances to handle the return traffic;

debian@test1:/etc/iproute2$ less rt_tables
#
# reserved values
#
255     local
254     main
253     default
0       unspec
#
# local
#
#1      inr.ruhep
1 rt2

debian@test1:/etc/network$ less interfaces
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The first vNIC, eth0
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

# The second vNIC, eth1
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
         address 10.0.16.11
         netmask 255.255.255.0
         post-up ip route add 10.0.16.0/24 dev eth1 src 10.0.16.11 table rt2
         post-up ip route add default via 10.0.16.1 dev eth1 table rt2
         post-up ip rule add from 10.0.16.11/32 table rt2
         post-up ip rule add to 10.0.16.11/32 table rt2

And this works well for SSH and ICMP, but curiously not for HTTP traffic.


Requests to a web-server listening on all vNICs are sent but replies not
received when the requests are sent to the second mapped floating IP (HTTP
requests and replies work as expected when sent to the first mapped floating
IP). The requests are logged in both cases however, so traffic is making it
to the instance in both cases.

I'd say this is clearly an unusual (and possibly un-natural) arrangement,
but I was wondering whether anyone else on Operators had come across a
similar situation in trying to map floating IPs from two different external
networks to an instance?

Kind regards,

Paul Browne
