quick question when I add a local range to a netmaker 1 it changes its IPaddress from network 254 24 to network 253 24 Any idea why

glamorous-crowd-4515 · Answer

also idk if it s an expected behaviour my guess is its not ```8 nm mynet mtu 1280 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link none inet 10 233 87 254 24 scope global nm mynet valid lft forever preferred lft forever inet 10 233 87 254 32 scope global nm mynet valid lft forever preferred lft forever ``` before docker rm f my netmaker container the nic is addressed like this IPaddr is unreachable after a restart ```3 nm mynet mtu 1280 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link none inet 10 233 87 253 24 scope global nm mynet valid lft forever preferred lft forever inet 10 233 87 253 32 scope global nm mynet valid lft forever preferred lft forever ```

wich doesn t explain why netmaker 1 ip changes but why a restart fixes the ICMP

white-piano-73111 · Answer

oooh is that when it does it I have noticed it doing that before restart also fixed it for me but I haven t been able to point at when it does it That explains so much

Interesting you say this happens when you add a local range Do you mean when you set up an egress gateway or when you configure the network as a local network

white-piano-73111 · Answer

I just tried to reproduce it and it looks like it still works in 0 14 1 It happens when you set a local range on a network When you do that it changes the ip on netmaker 1 from 254 to 253 almost immediately

white-piano-73111 · Answer

It didn t log anything about it to the console

white-piano-73111 · Answer

I also noticed something else To test this I created a network and then deleted it when done from the ui However the interface wasn t removed from the netmaker backend container It will be there hanging out until I restart delete the pod Nothing in the log about it failing to remove an interface or related

I mean local range as in this screenshot when is local is ticked indeed

jolly-london-20127 · Answer

how did you add the local range during network creation or afterwards

white-piano-73111 · Answer

Oh it s afterwards I created the network just using autofill and clicked create with all defaults The network is created with 254 on netmaker 1 Then go to networks edit it to add a local range and by the time I get back to the nodes screen it s already changed to a 253

Local Range Issue

jolly-london-20127 · Answer

Ahhh ok the local range is not meant to be set post network creation It s only meant for if the network is configured as a local network Still we either need to gray it out or have some handling in there What are you trying to accomplish with the local range by the way < white piano 73111> < glamorous crowd 4515>

glamorous-crowd-4515 · Answer

was just testing buttons and I saw something odd namely a connectivity loss

glamorous-crowd-4515 · Answer

so I figured report it

jolly-london-20127 · Answer

thanks for reporting we may end up just depricating that feature No one really uses it so we haven t tested it much through upgrades

jolly-london-20127 · Answer

it s only purpose is for if you are running a network entirely of devices inside an already private network for instance a vlan

jolly-london-20127 · Answer

so you don t want any devices to use their public interface to communicate

jolly-london-20127 · Answer

though really the whole point of netmaker is to build distributed networks so there aren t many use cases where all the devices will be on one local network

glamorous-crowd-4515 · Answer

hm I think you might underestimate that feature On a professional level per instance you can easily create network designs that rely on a single hop node per instance if you want to virtually propagate a network between 2 lan like openvpn does w bridging

glamorous-crowd-4515 · Answer

homelab wise it s nice to make that kind of thing also but it s less roadmap driving x

jolly-london-20127 · Answer

I agree but we probably need a different design to make this work The way it s written all the devices need to be on the LAN so there would be no device to make the hop I think we need a bigger refactor rethink of how that should look

glamorous-crowd-4515 · Answer

with arp reflection acting like a switch you could

white-piano-73111 · Answer

Pretty much the same for me I had a netclient node in the dmz and one on the lan The wireguard tunnel wouldn t come up so I was messing with options to see if it makes a difference It works now without the local range option but that s when I came across it
