Network manual
Build the network
This private network isn't trivial to build as machines are located in different datacenter cabinets, without sharing a common private physical network.
We use the following techniques to recreate those connections:
- On an hypervisor, each VM has a second network card, with a Drake IP assigned
- tunnels using ICANNnet as pipelines allow parts of Drake to be connected, with software like tinc
Configure private network card
In rOPS: pillar/nodes/nodes.sls, define a private_interface block the Drake network information for this machine.
The network unit in the core role should pick it and configure it, rOPS: roles/core/network/private.sls at least for CentOS/RHEL/Rocky and FreeBSD}}.
Tinc
Tinc allows to create a mesh network and bridge the network segments.
In router mode, it only forwards IPv4 and IPv6 traffic. In switch and hub mode, it can broadcast all packets to other daemons, including in switch mode a correct Ethernet bridge with routing directly to MAC addresses.
Routes
Systemd: routes service
On Linux systems, we've two issues:
- network-scripts from RHEL are deprecated, and require we attach routes to a specific network device
- nmstate is a descriptive solution with YAML files but require a lot of dependencies and to rely to NetworkManager (we don't on CentOS/Rocky machines)
As our only requirement for routing on Linux is to call "ip route", we provide a simple tool to read /etc/routes.conf and call ip route replace with the content. The service routes call that tool.
/etc/routes.conf is generated by Salt in the roles/network/routes unit, and is a file with one line = one route, blank lines and comments (lines starting by #) ignored.
Troubleshoot
A non IP packet doesn't pass
If the connection is managed by tinc, ensure it's configured in switch mode: in router mode, it only forwards IPv4 and IPv6 unicast packets. For linux, check this bridging reference guide.
A route is missing
- Linux: ip route add 172.27.27.0/24 via $GW
- FreeBSD: route add -net 172.27.27.0/24 $GW
$GW is:
- 172.27.27.1 for IntraNought (dwellers, docker-001) and Tinc tunnels
- the tunnel IP, for example 172.27.27.27 for GRE tunnels
Routes are OK but packets still don't pass
- Check on router-001
sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding, it must be 1 - To link server A and B you need ingoing and outgoing routes A->router->B and B->router->A, that's FOUR of them to check
