Yuan Bai,

We do not have ifcfg-eth0 file because this way we can reboot a statelite node 
with the ‘reboot’ command. If you will have this file, wicked will stuck the 
shutdown process as soon as it tried to disable this interface.

Maybe this is related to the issue. I will try to check.

THX!

Hi Gilad,

Since I cannot reproduce this Bcast address 0.0.0.0 during statelite provision, 
I think it is not directly caused by xCAT statelite provision.

Could you provide more information about this? So that we can do more 
investigation.

Could you give us node definition and ifcfg-eth0 file contents?

Best Regards

Yuan Bai,

1, Is eth0 your install nic? install nic is configured by dhcp in xCAT, if eth0 
is install nic, the bcast is not configured by xCAT directly, it should be 
calculated.

[gb] Eth0 is the install NIC. On other NICs configured by DHCP (in statefull 
install for example) I see the right bcast address.
Usually the bcast address is being configured automatically.


2, Is eth0 configured by scripts from xCAT? for example, do you use confignics 
or confignetwork scipts or etc to configure eth0?
If you using scripts in xCAT, could you tell me which scripts? I can look into 
it.

[gb] No scripts are used, anyway after boot there is not much can be done to 
this NIC because no


3, If you using other scripts to configure eth0, the following command may 
cause the bcast address as 0.0.0.0:
/sbin/ip link set eth0 down
/sbin/ip addr add 10.10.101.51/24 dev eth0
/sbin/ip link set eth0 up

You should use:
/sbin/ip addr add 10.10.101.51/24 broadcast 10.10.101.255 dev eth0

[gb] There is no issue with configuring the address manually after boot 
(ifconfig or ip), so we have a simple workaround. The reason I am trying to 
find the root course is because there might be some hidden issue that will hurt 
something else later. I am basically trying to understand why the bcast address 
is not being calculated and configured at boot time.
The only time this NIC is being configured is the boot time, after that, it is 
impossible to bring it down.
Any idea why in the first place there is no bcast? Any DHCP options that 
prevents it?

THX a lot!!!

Sorry for mistake of eth1, should eth0 in previous mail.
/sbin/ip addr add 10.10.101.51/24 dev eth0
/sbin/ip link set eth0 up

You should use:
/sbin/ip addr add 10.10.101.51/24 broadcast 10.10.101.255 dev eth0

Hi Gilad,

I provisioned sles12.2 statelite using xCAT, I cannot reproduce this Bcase 
adress 0.0.0.0 for install nic through provisioning.

I have following questions:

1, Is eth0 your install nic? install nic is configured by dhcp in xCAT, if eth0 
is install nic, the bcast is not configured by xCAT directly, it should be 
calculated.

2, Is eth0 configured by scripts from xCAT? for example, do you use confignics 
or confignetwork scipts or etc to configure eth0?
If you using scripts in xCAT, could you tell me which scripts? I can look into 
it.

3, If you using other scripts to configure eth0, the following command may 
cause the bcast address as 0.0.0.0:
/sbin/ip link set eth0 down
/sbin/ip addr add 10.10.101.51/24 dev eth0
/sbin/ip link set eth0 up

You should use:
/sbin/ip addr add 10.10.101.51/24 broadcast 10.10.101.255 dev eth0

________________________________




All,

I am assuming many linux experts on this list, so since I am not sure this is 
purely xCAT issue, any hints are more than welcome 😊

In our statelite deployment the boot interface comes up with broadcast address 
of 0.0.0.0 –
# ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 6C:AE:8B:08:8E:03
inet addr:10.10.101.51 Bcast:0.0.0.0 Mask:255.255.255.0
….

The broadcast address can be setup easily with ifconfig eth0 broadcast. Eth1 
boots with the right bcast address.

I wonder what could cause this issue, when seems there is no limitation on 
setting it.

OS is SLES12.2 and deployment method is statelite (statefull works as expected).

THX in advance!
