Capture not finishing in NAT environment
-
Using FOGProject-fogproject-1.5.10.1629-0-g831a95f.tar.gz.
Primary FOG server is at 10.1.0.48. I have a storage node at 192.168.10.93, which is behind a NAT, the Primary sees it at 10.188.94.93, the IP Address in the WebGUI is the DNS name fog-8894.domain.local. Which for the Primary resolves as 10.188.94.93.
Storage Node is the DHCP, TFTP, and DNS server. For DHCP, it sets the nameserver to itself, as 192.168.10.93. It resolves fog-8894.domain.local as 192.168.10.93.
Host to capture is at 192.168.5.73. NAT address is 10.188.94.73. Host PXE boots, get the IP address 192.168.5.72, gateway 192.168.5.1, nameserver 192.168.10.93.
Host starts the capture, captures all four partitions, then will pause, then reboot and capture again. The image MAC is appearing on the Storage Node as /images/data/dev/<MAC Address>. It never gets moved to the Host name in /images/data. And the capture task still exists. The Primary server’s database gets updated with “| 267 | [2025-06-27 14:42:16] Task ID: 19 NAME: Capture Task - awsd0340r03 has been successfully updated. | fog | 2025-06-27 14:42:16 | 10.23.12.78 |” which says that hIP is the router.
I have done packet captures to and from the Storage Node, and see the data coming to it from the Primary, not the Host, on port 2049. I never see an FTP call to the Storage Node after the data capture, only at the beginning of the tftpboot.
I realize that NAT’d networks are not really supported, but any suggestions would be a great help. I would rather only have to web into the Primary, not make each Storage Node a primary, estimate to have 14 Storage Nodes. Thank you.
