[Bug 1521618] Re: wrong subnet in DHCP answer when multiple networks are present

 

Ah, thanks for all the information. (I didn't realize you were pasting
the kernel parameter.)

After researching this problem, I think this definitely looks like a bug
in isc-dhcp. (The other possibility is that MAAS is configuring dhcpd
incorrectly in this situation, but so far it looks like our
configuration is correct, but dhcpd is interpreting it incorrectly.)

I noticed that on Trusty we are using 4.2.4-7ubuntu12.3, while on Xenial
we are using 4.3.1-5ubuntu4. 4.3.1-5ubuntu4. The latest "Extended
support" version from ISC seems to be 4.3.3.[1]

To move forward, we'll need to further triage this to see if the bug
occurs on other versions of dhcpd.

Meanwhile, I think you should be able to work around this issue by
changing your hosts' network configuration after commissioning. You can
configure MAAS to disable the boot interface upon deployment, so that
your provisioning network will only be used for the initial PXE boot.

Title:
  wrong subnet in DHCP answer when multiple networks are present

Status in MAAS:
  Triaged
Status in isc-dhcp package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  So I have 3 interfaces with 3, non-overlapping subnets defined in my
  maas cluster controller.

  The idea would be that there is a provisioning network (10.6.0.0/16)
  to do the actual provisioning and once the node gets deployed it is
  using a different network (because the provisioning network is only
  1x1Gbit while the production network is bonded (LACP) 10Gbit).

  However, when I boot up a fresh, new node to add to MAAS, it gets the
  following DHCP reply:

  ip=10.6.239.3:10.6.250.250:9.4.113.254:255.255.255.0

  So instead of picking up the /16 subnet correctly for the 10.6.239.3
  IP, it picks up the /24 from the network where it gets it's default
  gateway from.

  Is this a bug or my understanding of how MAAS should behave when there
  are multiple networks flawed?

  Here is my /var/lib/maas/dhcpd.conf:

  subnet 9.4.113.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
         if option arch = 00:0E {
            filename "pxelinux.0";
            option path-prefix "ppc64el/";
         } elsif option arch = 00:07 {
            filename "bootx64.efi";
         } elsif option arch = 00:0B {
            filename "grubaa64.efi";
         } elsif option arch = 00:0C {
            filename "bootppc64.bin";
         } else {
            filename "pxelinux.0";
         }

            default-lease-time 30;
            max-lease-time 30;
         }
  }
  subnet 10.6.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 {
         if option arch = 00:0E {
            filename "pxelinux.0";

         } elsif option arch = 00:0C {
            filename "bootppc64.bin";
         } else {
            filename "pxelinux.0";
         }
         interface "eth1";
         ignore-client-uids true;
         option subnet-mask 255.255.0.0;
         option broadcast-address 10.6.255.255;
         option domain-name-servers 9.4.113.251;
         option domain-name "i.zc2.ibm.com";
         option ntp-servers ntp.ubuntu.com;
         range dynamic-bootp 10.6.239.0 10.6.239.239;

            match if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 3) = "PXE";
            default-lease-time 30;
            max-lease-time 30;
         }
  }
