BGP - K3S Kubernetes

Unless there is more to the settings then noted in above image
I believe, that is an allow map updates from ALL for ALL . Not sure what sequence 100 maps to ... but seems to match directions
-
Yes but you have to apply that route map to the neighbour in question:
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/packages/frr/bgp/config-neighbor.html#peer-filtering

I think that was the peice missing. Your image noted a field "Route Map Filter" But the image did not note context, and I poked around and made two below changes:
and I also set
Now BGP routes display

Update:
So it seems the router is broadcasting, and what seems to map to deployments do updates.
I did a test deploy of test wordpress website and it seems to have setup IPLB services that propogate through BGP:

-
So you're adding that static route to the external system directly?
Sounds like the client is just not using pfSense as it's default route. Or whatever it is using as that cannot hairpin the route back to pfSense possibly.
Or it's creating an asymmetric route; check the firewall logs.
-
Yes..
Windows laptop yes it can get to internet and all other subnets... (ex: SSH into k3s node and run above tests)
route -p ADD 172.16.113.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 172.16.103.110 METRIC 1As a baseline I have another VM on that same VLAN as the laptop and it cannot get to the subnet (aka did not run above route add command)
So to me this means this is a misconfiguration within the pfsense that when my hosts (windows) attempt to find resource on 172.16.113.0 (per curl test) it goes to my default GW 172.16.100.1/24 and it should then forward down 172.16.103.110 to get to cilium 172.16.113.176.
If it was issue related to hairpin.. I think it would also fail on nodes within 172.16.103.0/24 also failing.. but they (as noted in test) can resolve 172.16.113.176.
-
Yes I would expect it to work if that traffic is going via pfSense.
Try a traceroute.
Check the states when you try to ping.
What's actually happening when it doesn't have that static route?
-
Traceroute would require ICMP mapping and services.
I did it just for baseline from Linux host direct (which can get to website without route add) . no response. As well as from windows host with route add.. also no response.
That is why trying to get debug out of pfsense as to where packets "work when from 172.16.103.110" and with Route add "172.16.100.32"
But fail from 172.16.100.22
packetcapture-igc1.103-20240108164045.pcap
I also tried to add networks for distribtution in but no change
Just seems like the pfsense router is just not routing packets to known subnet .. but only from specific networks
-
Adding a static route to the windows client changes nothing in how pfSense routes that traffic. It has to be in the client itself.
-
Not sure what you mean.
If my systems (windows / linux) are on 172.16.100.0/24 and know nothing of how to route to 172.16.113.0/24, they just use Default GW 172.16.100.1 which is pfsense.
Route (pfsense) then refers to its table, and based on BGP knows path to get to 172.16.113.0/24 is via 172.16.103.110.

OK how does the client know how to reach 172.16.103.110? That must also be via pfSense at 172.16.100.1 right?
-
Yes

So what did the states show when you try to open it without the static route on the client?
Looking at the pfSense routing table I wonder if the inactive more specific route to 172.16.103.0/24 is causing a problem.
-
Could be...
But.......
Why when I add route to host... does it start working?
Why when from the hosting system can I (without adding route) get to site? -
I'd still be checking the states and/or running an ping and pcaps to see where that is actually being sent.
-
Just to close this out and also post what I learned.
Root cause: Server with multiple interfaces, where BGP and cilium are binding to the NOT default interface,, will never work.
Ex:
Idea was to have VLAN 103 for all containers.. used by various K8 clusters.... but.. Cilium returns routes based on underlying Linux .. which follows DGW through 172.16.100... which confuses hosts waiting for packets to return from pfsense 172.16.103.1
Working design:
Change:
- remove all L2/3 subnet for 172.16.103.0
- setup within CNI (Cilium) that its IP pool is now 172.16.103.0/24
- redirect all bgp through host with bound DGW 172.16.100.110 with bgp neighbor definition to 172.16.100.1 (pfsense)
Now BGP does not take weird packet paths etc.
How I root cause.: Watch packet sessions on host:
tcpdump -i br103 -s 0 'tcp port http'then
tcpdump -i br100 -s 0 'tcp port http'
Then from laptop
curl http://172.16.113.176what I saw was packets in (10x due to fail return)... on both interfaces... which means return was out different interface.
Thanks for those who helped respond and posting. Hope this helps others not shave the same yak.
-
Nice catch.
-
@penguinpages can you share your cilium bgp peering policy? I’d like to see what it looks like. I am having the same problem. I use almost the same equipment you have - I have a pfsense doing bgp, a brocade icx7250 doing layer 3 routing ( all my vlans are setup here ) and I have a server with 2 nics. I cant connect to a test nginx demo i have setup on my kubernetes cluster with cilium.

@penguinpages Thanks for sharing. I am getting confused / lost with all the IPs
Is 172.16.100.1/24 your pfsense router ip? Is 172.16.100.110 a specific kubernetes controlplane or worker node? I am having a hard time getting the big picture.
