Enabling DHCP in ClusterBox

Hi everyone,

I’m working on connecting the Mixtile cluster as a partition using Warewulf. The cluster is on the same LAN, and I can log in to the root account after adding the Warewulf cluster key to the ClusterBox SSH keys. However, I’m unable to access the other nodes.

I’m trying to switch DHCP from the default interface (eth_pci) to the WAN interface so that all the nodes can be on the same LAN network. eth_pci supports dynamic DHCP allocation for clients, but this option doesn’t seem to be available for the WAN interface. Is there a way to enable dynamic DHCP on the WAN?

Thank you

Hi everyone,

so I set the wan interface for dhcp client from dynamic address to static address and i cant seem to get the cluster box to connect to the ip address. I followed the instructions to restore to factory settings. Do I need to install drivers for the blade 3 boards again and will this correct the interface settings previously done? Thank you.

Hi Sabiola,

  1. After resetting Cluster Box to factory settings, you don’t need to install the Blade 3 drivers again.
  2. Regarding your question about accessing Blade 3 nodes on the same LAN network, we might need some time to test if it works as expected. Once we have a solution, we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Have a nice day!

Thank you @vickyhella.

Would the reset also mean that it restores the original factory network settings? We cant seem to access the mixtile nodes on the ip address as before due to the changes to the interface, I was hoping the reset would restore the interface settings.

Thank you.

Yes, restoring factory Settings will restore the factory network configuration

Thank you @Buyuliang. It works fine now.
