Routing IPv4 and NAT-ing

Configuring additional NIC's

  • Cluster networks between Headnode and Nodes.
    • Group 1: 10.100.1.0/24
    • Group 2: 10.100.2.0/24
    • Group 3: 10.100.3.0/24
  • Headnode public IP address
    • Group 1: 192.168.139.21
    • Group 2: 192.168.139.22
    • Group 3: 192.168.139.23

edit the file /etc/network/interfaces. Example below 

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
 address 192.168.139.50
 netmask 255.255.255.0
 gateway 192.168.139.1
 network 192.168.139.0
 broadcast 192.168.139.255

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
        address 10.0.0.1
        netmask 255.255.255.0

Head node

Routing IPv4

  • Add or uncomment the line net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 in /etc/sysctl.conf to allow Routing after boot
  • Issue the command sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 to allow routing in flight.

NAT with iptables

#!/bin/bash
#
# Start firewall
#
# Tillader ping indefra og ud.
# Lukker for al anden trafik.
# Diverse erklæringer
FW=iptables
INT_NET="10.0.0.0/24"
EXT_NET="172.16.4.0/24"
EXT_IP="172.16.4.99"
EXT_IF="eth0"

# Fjern alle tidligere regler
$FW -F INPUT
$FW -F OUTPUT
$FW -F FORWARD
$FW -F -t nat


# Sæt default politik til afvisning
$FW -P FORWARD ACCEPT

# Tillad ping indefra
$FW -A FORWARD -s $INT_NET -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j ACCEPT

# Tillad pong udefra
$FW -A FORWARD -d $INT_NET -p icmp --icmp-type echo-reply -j ACCEPT

# Source NAT på udgående pakker
$FW -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $EXT_IF -s $INT_NET -j SNAT --to-source $EXT_IP

NFS server

install NFS package 

 root@headnode:~# <input>apt-get install nfs-kernel-server</input>

Add export to /etc/export (Group 1 net shown) 

/home   10.100.1.0/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)

Restart the NFS-Server 

root@headnode:~# <input>/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart</input>

Node clients

Install NFS client package 

root@node1:~# <input>apt-get install nfs-common</input>
