Keepalived For Mac

broken image


Both servers are also 'virtual server', configured by keepalived, with IP 192.168.1.110. Things work find, floating VIP would redirect all 192.168.1.110:80 requests to A/B. I would omit the configuration details here. Which I want to know is, how does keepalived announce VIP mac so the other machines on the same vxnet can update its arp table. The man page for keepalived.conf says virtualrouterid can be 0.255, but this seems at odds with the RFCs. ARP responses for the virtual IP address specify the physical MAC address rather than the virtual MAC address, both in the MAC header source address, and the Sender MAC. Installing Keepalived. Install keepalived from the distribution's repositories or, alternatively, compile from source. Although installing from the repositories is generally the fastest way to get keepalived running on a system, the version of keepalived available in the repositories are typically a few releases behind the latest available stable version.

Back once again it's Linux time. This post also can be named as how to set up a floating IP between load balancers or how to set up a shared IP for between load balancers or how to configure a high available load-balancers. what happens here we are using keepalived, which allows us to setup HAProxy nodes to create active/passive cluster so that load can be divided amount node members. If the main HAProxy node goes down, the second one(slave node) will be elected as master node. We are getting it done using VRRP.

What & How VRRP Works

The VRRP protocol provides automatic assignment of available IP to participating hosts which ensures that one of participating nodes is master. The master and slave node acts as a group where the backup node listens for multicast packets from a node with a higher priority which could the master node. If the backup node fails to receive VRRP advertisements for a period of time longer than three times of the advertisement timer, the backup node takes the master state and assigns the configured shared/floating IP to itself. In case there are more than one backup nodes with the same priority, the one with the highest IP wins the election.

Keepalived is a routing software written in C. The main goal of this project is to provide simple and robust facilities for loadbalancing and high-availability to Linux system and Linux based infrastructures.

HAProxy is a free, very fast and reliable solution offering high availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications. It is particularly suited for very high traffic web sites and powers quite a number of the world's most visited ones.

Today what we are trying to implement the load balancer cluster as follows. It'll be an active/passive load balancer cluster

I'm using below IPs for explanation purposes.

  • Master node address: 192.168.6.169
  • Slave node address: 1192.168.6.170
  • Shared/Floating Virtual address: 192.168.6.164

Below mentioned is the two scenario that can occur within a active/passive load balancer cluster.

Configuring HAProxy and Keepalived

Install HAProxy and Keepalived on both ubuntu nodes.

Load balancing in HAProxy also requires the ability to bind to an IP address that are nonlocal, meaning that it is not assigned to a device on the local system. Below configuration is added so that floating/shared IP can be assigned to one of the load balancers. Below line get it done.

Now you know what's happening with above lines let's edit the sysctl.conf.

Windows 10 keyboard shortcuts. For anyone wondering how to adjust OS X's text correction capabilities, this is it.Finally, there's Input Sources, wherein you're able to add alternate keyboard languages and layouts. In the screenshot, we see how this looks when we select the Dvorak layout.

Add the below lines.

To enable the changes made in sysctl.conf you will need to run the command.

Now let's create keepalived.conf file on each instances. All the below Keepalived configurations are explained in the User guide provided by Keepalived and refer this guide as well.

Keepalived

Add the below configuration on the master node

Add the below configuration on the slave node.

Restart Keepalived.

Now let's configure HAProxy on both instances. You will have do the below steps on master node as well as slave node.

set the property ENABLED to 1.

Keepalived For Mac Catalina

Note that below configurations are as per my requirement.

If above configurations are not clear please refer this guide from HAProxy.

Testing

Let's check whether our configuration has been done correctly. Try executing ip addr on master node. As you can see on the master node 192.168.6.164 IP is assigned.

Keepalived Macvlan

Try executing ip addr on slave node.

Let's stop the HAProxy on the master node. Now you can see that IP address 192.168.6.164 will be assigned to the slave node. If you start HAproxy instance on the master node IP address 192.168.6.164 will be assigned back to master node. See the O/P below.

Keepalived is a Linux implementation of VRRP. The usual roleof VRRP is to share a virtual IP across a set of routers. For eachVRRP instance, a leader is elected and gets to serve the IP address,ensuring the high availability of the attached service. Keepalivedcan also be used for a generic leader election, thanks to itsability to use scripts for health checking and run commands on statechange.

Keepalived

A simple configuration looks like this:

The state keyword in ❶ instructs Keepalived to not take the leaderrole when starting. Otherwise, incoming nodes create a temporarydisruption by taking over the IP address until the election settles.The interface keyword in ❷ defines the interface for sending andreceiving VRRP packets. It is also the default interface to configurethe virtual IP address. The virtual_router_id directive in ❸ iscommon to all nodes sharing the virtual IP. The priority keyword in❹ helps to choose which router will be elected as leader. If you needmore information about Keepalived, be sure to check thedocumentation.

Acdsee review. VRRP design is tied to Ethernet networks and requires amulticast-enabled network for communication between nodes. In someenvironments, notably public clouds, multicast is unavailable. In thiscase, Keepalived can send VRRP packets using unicast:

Another process, like a BGP daemon, should advertise the virtual IPaddress to the 'network.' If needed, Keepalived can trigger whateveraction is needed for this by using notify_* scripts.

Until version 2.21 (not released yet), the interface directive ismandatory and Keepalived will transmit and receive VRRP packets onthis interface only. If peers are reachable through severalinterfaces, like on a BGP on the host setup, you need aworkaround. A simple one is to use a VXLAN interface:

Learning of MAC addresses is disabled and one generic entry for eachpeer is added in the forwarding database: transmitted packets arebroadcasted to all peers, notably VRRP packets. Have a look at'VXLAN & Linux' for additional details.

Starting from Keepalived 2.21, unicast_peer can be used withoutthe interface directive. I think using VXLAN is still aneat trick applicable to other situations where communication usingbroadcast or multicast is needed, while the underlying network providesno support for this.
