Re: [Openstack-operators] RHEL 7 / CentOS 7 instances losing their network gateway
I'm pretty sure I've resolved this issue. Since this seems to happen randomly, it might just be a coincidence that this is by far the longest streak that it hasn't happened. :) I noticed that CentOS 7 and RHEL 7 are setting a `valid_lft` and `preferred_lft` timeout on the IPv4 address. You can see this by doing an ip a on CentOS7/RHEL7 and comparing with either CentOS6 or Ubuntu. This is the first time I've seen this used on IPv4. It's usually used for IPv6 privacy addresses. The timeout is set to something larger than the lease renewal time. What happens, though, is that it is occasionally taking a little longer to receive the DHCP renewal. Then the `valid_lft` hits zero and the IP is removed from the interface. When this happens, the kernel will clean up any routes used by the removed IP (in this case, the default gateway). A few seconds later, the late DHCP renewal is finally received and the IP is added back to the interface. But due to how CentOS/RHEL7 is handling the renewal in /usr/sbin/dhclient-script, the gateway is never re-added. My guess as to why a newer version of dnsmasq does not exhibit this issue is because it's advertising renewals a little different: enough to trigger the part of dhclient-script to re-add the gateway. I have not verified this theory, though. What I've done for now is modified dhclient-script and removed any portion that sets a valid_lft and preferred_lft, so now they are set to forever just like other distros. And so far, so good (crossing fingers). Thanks, Joe On Tue, Jan 27, 2015 at 1:53 PM, Joe Topjian j...@topjian.net wrote: Hi George, All instances have only a single interface.

Re: [Openstack-operators] RHEL 7 / CentOS 7 instances losing their network gateway
Thanks, Kris. I'm going to see if there's any oddities between the version of dnsmasq packaged with 12.04/Icehouse and systemd-dhcp. On Tue, Jan 27, 2015 at 9:25 AM, Kris G.

How many network interfaces have your instance? If more than one - check settings for second network (subnet). It can have own dhcp settings which may mess up with routes for the main network.
