Default network address¶

If you have issues related to the default network address configuration, cURL either hangs or the following error occurs:

curl: (7) Failed to connect to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port xxxx: Host is unreachable

The issue may occur because the default Docker network address 172.17.0.0/16 overlaps with your cloud address or other addresses of the network configuration.

Workaround:

1. Log in to your local machine.

2. Verify routing to the IP addresses of the target cloud endpoints:

   1. Obtain the IP address of your target cloud. For example:

      nslookup auth.openstack.example.com
      

      Example of system response:

      Name:   auth.openstack.example.com
      Address: 172.17.246.119
      

   2. Verify that this IP address is not routed through docker0 but through any other interface, for example, ens3:

      ip r get 172.17.246.119
      

      Example of the system response if the routing is configured correctly:

      172.17.246.119 via 172.18.194.1 dev ens3 src 172.18.1.1 uid 1000
        cache
      

      Example of the system response if the routing is configured incorrectly:

      172.17.246.119 via 172.18.194.1 dev docker0 src 172.18.1.1 uid 1000
        cache
      

3. If the routing is incorrect, change the IP address of the default Docker bridge:

   1. Create or edit /etc/docker/daemon.json by adding the "bip" option:

      {
        "bip": "192.168.91.1/24"
      }
      

   2. Restart the Docker daemon:

      sudo systemctl restart docker
