Tftp Timeout Using Discover-nodes

[Kellen O'Connor]

I have 8 new nodes that I'm trying to provision over a private network, when I use discover-nodes it detects the appliances, but on boot each machine gets a tftp timeout error. The booting appliances see the IP and attempt to PXE boot but always get the tftp timeout. My tftp service is running, although I have noticed that something is stopping the service, and I assume it's probably Stacki. 

The output of 'stack list network' is:

Network: Private Address: 192.168.0.0 Mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.0.18 MTU: 1500 Zone: ---- DNS: False PXE: True.

Thanks in advance for any commentary or suggestions.

Hi Kellen, 

Check two things:

1. If it's stacki, dropping the firewall should fix it. "systemctl stop iptables"

Then try again. 

Likely this is not the case. If 1 doesn't fix it, then check the ports on the switch. Spanning tree needs to be turned off or each port needs to be set to "edge" or whatever silly thing on your switch turns it off. 

If 1 does fix it, we need to check your firewall rules. 

Thanks,

Joe

It's the 2nd issue here, disabling iptables didn't resolve the issue. Taking a look at the switch today.

It was the switch issue and has been resolved, many thanks! The 8 nodes booted without issue.

Sweet! I love it when a plan comes together. 

And yes, yes I just quoted the A-Team.

Thanks,

Joe
