Re: [Vyatta-users] Weird Routing problem on VC2

2008-01-29 Thread Justin Fletcher
Personally, I'd try Alpha 1.  It'll need more polishing and features
to add (which
is why it's an alpha) but there are major improvements with the
routing protocols.
Check the Glendale bug list, and see if you'd be affected by any of these first
(like no GUI yet).

Also note that you're existing configuration won't be preserved on ISO
install which
means you'll have to re-enter it, and there have been major changes to
CLI syntax -
even to how you configure an interface (from address prefix-length CML to
address/CML).  However, VPN, firewall, NAT, clustering, and serial
commands should
be the same, so you CAN copy an old configuration back and edit it -
it's just that
there will be a lot of iterations of loading the configuration to
identify and adjust
configuration changes.

Hi Justin,

embarassingly so man... haha.

So there are issues with routing after link failures huh.. yep.. we are
looking to upgrade to VC3 once the new box is in... but to use Alpha 1? Is
it advisable? It will be for production use.

I need to use the router to handle 2 different WAN connection for 2 separate
NAT networks.

Hi all,

finally resolved the 1st problem (cannot detect newly inserted web machine):
end up it was a changed in config in the firewall that caused the
situation... my guys changed it without informing me but still, many
apologies for the false alarm. My bad.

secondly though, the problem still stands. when i plug out the network
cables from the router, and insert back in, everything fails.. the router
will fail to route. I will need to reset the server for it to work again.
For now, we are waiting for a new box to arrive before using VC2.2 and
hopefully that resolves the issues, but wonder if it is a bug.. or a badly
configure option somewhere?

is this the arp cache you are talking about?
router:~# arp
Address  HWtype  HWaddress   Flags Mask
Iface
   ether   00:0C:DB:2B:AB:68   C
eth0
192.168.3.1  ether   00:1B:0C:30:B4:80   C
eth1

Thanks for your patience guys :)

Nope, it was 'pingable' before.
I can still ping the other web servers connected to it... but the newly
added one I can't.
Yet I am able to route out to the public network from the new box...

Does the load balancer have ICMP disabled?  That'd certainly explain
that, unless
you were able to ping it before --

Since you have the load balancer between the router, I suspect it's a
load balancer issue.

You can see what's going on by running tshark/tcpdump on the interface, and
see
what's on the wire.  If you can examine the traffic between the load
balancer and the
servers, you'll learn more :-)

Re: [Vyatta-users] Weird Routing problem on VC2

2008-01-26 Thread Daren Tay
Oh no, I am using VC2 still.

I am using Cisco Content Switch CSS11501. Its not hiding the servers from
the router per say, because the other servers already connected to it can be
detected.
>From the router, I can ping 192.168.1.11 and 192.168.1.12, both existing web
servers
but i can't ping the 3rd (newly added one), 192.168.1.13

I did a test.. and map a public ip to the new server and it didn't work
when i switch the mapping of the public ip to an existing server, it worked!

Yet i can shell into the staging server (say it has a public ip and a
private ip of 192.168.1.20) and then shell to the 3rd server...


Interestingly, if i try to shell into the load balancer from the router, i
can't.
If i try to shell into the load balancer from the staging server, I can.

Either way, I have to go through the router... so its pretty queer.
Usually a reset of the router will update the routes and everything will
work fine.. but its pretty queer...

I have scheduled a reboot of the router later at 3am, will update to see if
that works.

I hope it works... that will solve my current headache.. but it will also
give me more question marks...

The link state monitor in VC3 is a little fickle.  You may be seeing
artifacts of that.  It has been drastically improved in the glendale
release.  I wouldn't suggest trying out the alpha in production, but it
should fix that issue if you want to play around with it in the lab.

Some thoughts...  I'm going to assume your subneting is setup correctly.
 What does your arp cache on the router say about the new host?  You
don't say what kind of load balancer you are using, but is it hiding th
web server from the router?

2008-01-24 Thread Justin Fletcher
Does the load balancer have ICMP disabled?  That'd certainly explain
that, unless
you were able to ping it before --

Since you have the load balancer between the router, I suspect it's a
load balancer issue.

You can see what's going on by running tshark/tcpdump on the interface, and see
what's on the wire.  If you can examine the traffic between the load
balancer and the
servers, you'll learn more :-)

Hi guys

I have this queer problem.

My setup with Vyatta is like this


Internet --- Firewall --- Vyatta Router --- Load Balancer  03 x Web
Servers
|
|
 staging server


As you can see, the router seats in front of the load balancer.
First... generally whenever I plug out the network cable from the router,
and insert it back later, everything will fail to route.
Its as if the route table cannot get the new info on its own.. I have to
reset the box to get back the settings.

secondly, I just add another webserver to the cluster (3rd one).
Interestingly, after adding it, I can't ping the new server nor ssh it from
the router. In fact, from the router, I can't ping the load balancer. But I
can ping the existing 2 web servers perfectly. The entire website is still
running.

I suspect its something to do with the routing ... is there any bug with VC2
on this?

Would appreciate some pointers :)
Many thanks!
