Quick update on the testing I have done. 1. installed server and enabled IP forwarding 2. verified that the following gives 1 for all: for FILE in $(sudo find /proc -iname forwarding); do echo $FILE; sudo cat $FILE; done 3. run skuba to deploy first master: cd skuba cluster init caasp --control-plane caasp-api.suse cd caasp sed -i 's#podSubnet:.*#podSubnet: 10.100.0.0/16#g' kubeadm-init.conf sed -i 's#serviceSubnet:.*#serviceSubnet: 10.200.0.0/16#g' kubeadm-init.conf SERVER=caasp-master-01; skuba node bootstrap $SERVER --sudo --target $SERVER.suse --user caaspadm -v5 2>&1|tee $SERVER.log 4. verify right after skuba deployment is finished for FILE in $(sudo find /proc -iname forwarding); do echo $FILE; sudo cat $FILE; done -> all 1 - but not yet any cilium or lxc0502ff45e5f9.. network 5. wait a bit and then test again for FILE in $(sudo find /proc -iname forwarding); do echo $FILE; sudo cat $FILE; done /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/forwarding 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/cilium_health/forwarding 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/cilium_host/forwarding 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/cilium_net/forwarding 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/cilium_vxlan/forwarding 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/default/forwarding 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/forwarding 0 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/lo/forwarding 0 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/lxc0502ff45e5f9/forwarding 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/lxc338fd9c772fe/forwarding 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/lxc44ad1805e489/forwarding 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/lxc45fc97ce17fc/forwarding 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/lxc5c407b7c307a/forwarding 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/lxc66ae87817a6a/forwarding 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/lxc6f16187be039/forwarding 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/lxc927bae83b605/forwarding 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/lxc9a7c0128099e/forwarding 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/lxcc5c6777e5605/forwarding 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/cilium_health/forwarding 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/cilium_host/forwarding 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/cilium_net/forwarding 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/cilium_vxlan/forwarding 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/default/forwarding 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/forwarding 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/lo/forwarding 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/lxc0502ff45e5f9/forwarding 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/lxc338fd9c772fe/forwarding 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/lxc44ad1805e489/forwarding 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/lxc45fc97ce17fc/forwarding 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/lxc5c407b7c307a/forwarding 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/lxc66ae87817a6a/forwarding 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/lxc6f16187be039/forwarding 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/lxc927bae83b605/forwarding 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/lxc9a7c0128099e/forwarding 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/lxcc5c6777e5605/forwarding 1 --> so at least in my case the process of the cluster deployment / cilium / crio etc. start seems to change eth0 and lo to "0" !
