Hi, I am currently working on Ceph with an underlying Clos IP fabric and I am hitting some issues. The setup looks as follows: There are 3 Ceph nodes which are running OSDs and MONs. Each server has one /32 loopback ip, which it announces via BGP to its uplink switches. Besides the loopback ip each server has an management interface with a public (not to be confused with ceph's public network) ip address. For BGP switches and servers are running quagga/frr. Loopback ips: 10.10.100.1 # switch1 10.10.100.2 # switch2 10.10.100.21 # server1 10.10.100.22 # server2 10.10.100.23 # server3 Ceph's public network is 10.10.100.0/24. Here comes the current main problem: There are two options for configuring the loopback address. 1.) Configure it on lo. In this case the routing works as inteded, but, as far as I found out, Ceph can not be run on lo interface. root@server1:~# ip route get 10.10.100.22 10.10.100.22 via 169.254.0.1 dev enp4s0f1 src 10.10.100.21 cache 2.) Configure it on dummy0. In this case Ceph is able to start, but quagga installs learned routes with wrong source addresses - the public management address from each host. This results in network problems, because Ceph uses the management ips to communicate to the other Ceph servers. root@server1:~# ip route get 10.10.100.22 10.10.100.22 via 169.254.0.1 dev enp4s0f1 src a.b.c.d cache (where a.b.c.d is the machine's public ip address on its management interface) Has already someone done something similar? Please let me know, if you need any further information. Any help would really be appreciated.
