03 Fix Networking Issues


Overview

When I tried to connect to My Oracle Support from CLOUDCTL , I got the following error:

Unable to complete network operation against My Oracle Support. Please check network connectivity to Oracle Support Site.

Diagnosis

There were two (2) problems:

  1. Only one (1) DNS server was specified during set up
  2. IP routing was incorrect

Resolution

Add an Extra DNS Server

The following line was appended to /etc/resolv.conf on CLOUDCTL :

nameserver 10.1.1.1

Update Routing Table

The following commands were run on CLOUDCTL :

route del default
route add default gw 192.168.1.1 metric 3 dev eth0
