Public bug reported: MAAS is unable to deploy nodes in different VLANs even though directory connected to those VLANs.
Steps to reproduce issue: - Configure multiple VLAN interfaces on the MAAS root@maas-server:~# cat /proc/net/vlan/config VLAN Dev name | VLAN ID Name-Type: VLAN_NAME_TYPE_PLUS_VID_NO_PAD vlan410 | 410 | ens11 vlan440 | 440 | ens11 vlan450 | 450 | ens11 root@maas-server:~# ip addr [output_attached] root@maas-server:~# ip route default via 192.168.50.1 dev vlan450 onlink 10.0.10.0/23 dev vlan410 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.10.250 192.168.40.0/24 dev vlan440 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.40.250 192.168.50.0/24 dev vlan450 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.50.250 - Try to deploy node in VLAN410 - Node will be provided with PXE configuration that configures cloud-config-url to point to main IP address of the MAAS as configured in regiond.conf (maas_url: http://192.168.50.250:5240/MAAS) - When node boots and cloud-init kicks in it will try to reach seed data at 192.168.50.250 - Node which is located in VLAN410 will route packets to it's gateway which finally reaches 192.168.50.250 - At this point Ubuntu 16.04 (which was used in this case) will drop those packets as default RPF setting (strict mode) is not allowing packets to be received on vlan450 if reverse path for source of the packet indicates that packet should arrive on vlan410 - In order to resolve this issue RPF strict mode has to be disabled on the server that is running MAAS - Another way to resolve this issue is by configuring maas_url to use domain name instead of static IP (maas_url: http://maas-server.local:5240/MAAS) in regiond.conf - Then configuring multiple A records (one record per IP of the MAAS interface) with same name maas-server.local - That way PXE will serve configuration with cloud-config-url parameter pointing to domain name instead of static IP - What will happen when cloud-init kicks in is that it will resolve MAAS address to multiple IP addresses and will iterate over them until it makes successful connection - However that solution will not scale well if there is a need to configure large number of VLANs - It would be great if MAAS could dynamically re-configure cloud-config-url with the MAAS IP in the same subnet from switch node requested configuration. For example : If node in VLAN410 is asking for seed location then MAAS should provide PXE configuration with cloud-config-url pointing to MAAS IP in VLAN410 and not the one statically configured in regiond.conf Please threat that bug as feature request if you decide to classify it as such. ** Affects: maas (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: MAAS (maas) Status: New ** Tags: maas ** Attachment added: "ip_addr.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1665680/+attachment/4820875/+files/ip_addr.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1665680 Title: Deploying nodes in multiple VLANs fails due to RPF filtering To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/maas/+bug/1665680/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
