[17:58] <Vampy> does any have a guide or suggestion for setting up a MAAS server that isnt DHCP, but still run PXE?
[18:09] <dannf> Vampy: i.e. using a separate dhcp server? that works fine as long as you set the "next-server" option to be your maas server
[18:18] <Vampy> dannf, would the idea of using 2 nics when the maas is behid a dhcp enabled router be wiser? the router isnt running drt so i'm unable to edit for next-server
[18:19] <dannf> Vampy: yeah, putting your MAAS on its own subnet probably makes sense there
[18:21] <Vampy> so running the eth0 as the internet accessable nic and eth1 as a dhcp for the switch and nodes with a bridge from eth0 to eth1
[18:22] <dannf> not sure you'd want to bridge it
[18:22] <dannf> maybe masquerade the eth1 network
[18:22] <dannf> bridging it would mean dhcp is still travelling between the two
[18:22] <Vampy> ahh yes.. agreed.
[18:23] <jgcampbell300> hello
[18:24] <Vampy> so instead of a bridge, a masquerade is better that way it shares the net access but not the dhcp pool from the router
[18:24] <jgcampbell300> i need help ... i need to know where to add dns 8.8.8.8 to maas ubuntu 12.04
[18:24] <jgcampbell300> ya
[18:25] <jgcampbell300> i think ... man im about to hit the power button and go drink 30 beers
[18:26] <jgcampbell300> Vampy: is there no one home here eather or am i just asking a stupid question
[18:26] <Vampy> as dannf pointed out before you joined.. a bridge would continue to share the dhcp pool from the router.. so there would be the need to share the net connection without the ip pool. and masquerading was a suggestion
[18:27] <jgcampbell300> ya ... now that i think about it i bleave thats what maas-dhcp is doing
[18:27] <jgcampbell300> i wonder if i install maas-dns if that will help me with my issue
[18:27] <dannf> i don't think maas-dhcp provides masquerading, it just provides a dhcp range of private ips
[18:28] <jgcampbell300> it installed dnsmasq
[18:28] <jgcampbell300> im not positive but i would assume that is what does the dance ... please correct me if im wrong
[18:29] <dannf> dnsmasq is a dns forwarder - i don't believe it actually messes with your network topology
[18:29] <dannf> iow, its not preventing your existing dhcp server from replying to your maas clients
[18:30] <dannf> if you can somehow make your site dhcp server stop replying to your maas nodes, then maas-dhcp would be a solution
[18:30] <jgcampbell300> hmm
[18:31] <jgcampbell300> so where can i add nameserver x.x.x.x and it stay
[18:31] <dannf> jgcampbell300: depends on your configuration
[18:32] <dannf> jgcampbell300: if its a statically configured network (configured w/ /etc/network/interfaces "static"), you can add dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 to your network stanza
[18:32] <dannf> if your network is configured w/ dhcp ("dhcp" in /etc/network/interfaces, or network-manager managed), you can have your dhcp server send that info
[18:33] <Vampy> dannf, would this sites guide allow sharing without dhcp replyin to nodes?
[18:33] <Vampy> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sharing-internet-connection-in-ubuntu.html
[18:33] <jgcampbell300> holy cow ... why didnt i think of that
[18:33] <jgcampbell300> so would that be formated dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4,etc;
[18:34] <dannf> Vampy: yeah, at a glance it looks right
[18:34] <dannf> jgcampbell300: i think its a space separated list
[18:35] <dannf> dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
[18:35] <dannf> but i could be wrong
[18:35] <Vampy> hmm ill hav to dig another nic out and try that option..
[18:35] <Vampy> i'm still gonna see if i can Vbox over 2 ubuntu desktops
[18:36] <jgcampbell300> Vampy: what ever you do , DO NOT PLAY WITH realtech ... wow i had hell with one of those
[18:36] <jgcampbell300> dannf: ty
[18:36] <Vampy> jgcampbell300, hahah if i have a realtek nic, it will be the inet accessable nic
[18:36] <jgcampbell300> dannf: and do i need an entery for each nic or just in the same file
[18:37] <Vampy> just add that to /etc/network/interfaces for each in that file
[18:37] <dannf> jgcampbell300: you only need one set of dns-namservers - presumably for whihc ever nic is connected to the Internet
[18:37] <jgcampbell300> Vampy: lol hope it isnt 3981too i think was the driver i couldnt get mine to use ....
[18:37] <jgcampbell300> dannf: k
[18:39] <jgcampbell300> oh thank god ... it finaly works right lol
[18:39] <jgcampbell300> but i did notice my eth0 isnt going up now
[18:40] <Vampy> jgcampbell300, make sure you have auth eth0 in there.. that way it auto starts
[18:40] <Vampy> err auto not auth
[18:41] <Vampy> could maas actually run a web server and a mail or is this not the scope of a MAAS server
[18:42] <jgcampbell300> im hopeing it willd do both ... is what im after
[18:42] <Vampy> agreed
[18:42] <jgcampbell300> http://paste.kde.org/540314/ would you mind checking that make sure i didnt typo or something
[18:43] <jgcampbell300> i been at this to long ... think im gona have to take a break soon
[18:47] <jgcampbell300> well i have something wrong some where .. Failed to bring up eth0.
[18:48] <jgcampbell300> ls
[19:03] <Vampy> nto seein the gateway marker
[19:05] <Vampy> i believe, een if your gateway is the machine your on, you still have to define it..
[19:07] <Vampy> sry just read, broadcast and gateway are optional..
