DMZ Installation

The deployment in the DMZ ist the basically the same as internaly, but there are a few points to consider:

• a firewall rule for puppet is needed
• the commissioning can only be done in the special DMZ commissioning network

Because of this commissioning network we suggest that the DMZ VM gets for commissioning two interfaces, a "front-door" to the actual network where it will finally provide its service and the "back-door" in the commissioning network. After successful setup that interface will be removed.

Preparation

• get static IP addresss for "front-door" interface
• For Puppet you need to order a firewall rule from your machine to puppet01.psi.ch using TCP port 8140.
• (let) the VM be set up with to interfaces, the first one in the final network ("front-door") and the second one attached to 172.23.206.0/24 ("back-door")
• get both MAC addresses
• prepare the node in Sysdb/bob with the "back-door" MAC address
• in Hiera following network configuration is suggested which keeps the "front-door" interface disabled for the start:

networking::setup: managed

networking::connections:
  - dmz_network
  - commissioning_network

networking::connection::dmz_network:
  mac_address: '00:50:56:9d:47:eb'
  ipv4_method: 'disabled'
  ipv6_method: 'disabled'

networking::connection::commissioning_network:
  mac_address: '00:50:56:9d:c7:fe'
  ipv4_method: 'auto'
  ipv6_method: 'disabled'

Commissioning/Kickstart

• commission/kickstart the node via network boot
• for SSH access get assigned IP address from VMWare or Puppet facts or QIP
• at the moment puppet will fail, provide the IP address to your fellow friendly Core Linux Team member to manually finish the first boot
• if the configuration is fully ready, configure the "front-door" interface:

networking::setup: managed

networking::connections:
  - dmz_network
  - commissioning_network

networking::connection::dmz_network:
  mac_address: '00:50:56:9d:47:eb'
  ipv4_method: 'manual'
  ipv4_address: '192.33.120.60/24'
  ipv4_gateway: '192.33.120.1'
  ipv6_method: 'disabled'

networking::connection::commissioning_network:
  mac_address: '00:50:56:9d:c7:fe'
  ipv4_method: 'auto'
  ipv6_method: 'disabled'

Cleanup

• check if you still have management access (ssh) over the front door interface
• remove the configuration of the "back-door" interface:

networking::setup: managed

networking::connections:
  - dmz_network

networking::connection::dmz_network:
  mac_address: '00:50:56:9d:47:eb'
  ipv4_method: 'manual'
  ipv4_address: '192.33.120.60/24'
  ipv4_gateway: '192.33.120.1'
  ipv6_method: 'disabled'

• remove the "back-door" interface from the VM
