SOLVED - Setting up VLANs over team

Post by teleute » 2019/08/21 17:36:55

I'm trying to install OpenStack on a server to play with, so trying to start with a base CentOS 7 install. I have two network interfaces up, which are connected to a Nexus switch, where the ports are trunked (LACP). So on the CentOS installation I'm attempting to both team the interfaces and tag the traffic with just a single VLAN to start.

I should also note that NetworkManager is disabled, at the insistence of basically every OpenStack walkthrough I've seen.

On each of the interfaces, I modified the ifcfg files:
NAME=<int name>
UUID=<int id>
DEVICE=<dev name>
# those lines above, I didn't change
ONBOOT=yes
DEVICETYPE=TeamPort
TEAM_MASTER=team0
TEAM_PORT_CONFIG='{"prio":9}'

I then created ifcfg-team0, which looks like this:
DEVICE=team0
NAME=team0
DEVICETYPE=Team
TEAM_CONFIG='{"runner":{"name": "lacp"}}'
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none

Finally, I created ifcfg-team0.10:
DEVICE=team0.10
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR=192.168.1.75
PREFIX=28
NETWORK=192.168.1.64
GATEWAY=192.168.1.65
VLAN=yes

This gateway is configured on the switch, and is pingable from elsewhere. I've restarted the network service numerous times. I can ping the IP address I gave the box, but nothing else, including the gateway IP.

I've never tried this before, so I'm sure I'm missing something small and dumb, but I just can't find it. Any suggestions? Thank you!

The team looks good - when I view the output of teamdctl team0 state with both links up, one down, etc... everything looks as expected.

Ignoring teamd for the moment.

Are you trying to tag on the interface? Why? Crazy - it's a network thing - do it one the network.

Anyway if you are - the interface "appear" as <IFNAME>.<TAG> - well at least traditionally (may have changed, not done this for a long time).

And then you aggregate those interfaces.

Seems wrong - to much state on the machine - push that state to the network and make it the responsibility of the network, will save you much cr*p.

One of k8s (of which red shift is a "member") issues really is "the network is flat, we don't care about the network. I can get everywhere from anywhere" - completely ignoring over 30 years of network (NAT was an early 90s thing, right?) jiggery-pokery and that's why all these overlays have become so critical .... and complex.

Also I don't know what you *really* trying to get to. If you're just playing then surely the thing is to get out of the VLAN game?

Also look at Calico if you want to limit what goes where in k8s.

This is a bare metal install that will then have OpenStack on it, not Kubernetes. I need multiple VLANs within OpenStack for what I'm trying to test, and also the network I'm connecting to (that I don't have control over) requires tagging due to setup that is again outside of my control. So I don't know any way to make this work without tagging on the interface.

ARGH - I knew it was something small and stupid. I misread what VLAN number went with this network. Put the right VLAN number and it's fine... :facepalm:
