Hello,
I'm trying to set up an IPVS NAT loadbalance solution with failover through
keepalived and sync through "ipvsadm --start-daemon" on CentOS 7.
Protocols such as HTTP work as expected, but FTP in passive mode isn't
working for the FTP-data connection. It stops after issueing a list or get
command.
After I couldn't find out what was possibly wrong with my configuration
after following documentation, I set up two basic IPVS setups for
trial&error:
Client -> IPVSmachine -> FTPserver
192.168.2.6 2.100/157.254 192.168.157.10/GW
192.168.157.254
CentOS 5: uname -r 2.6.18-398.el5
CentOS 7: uname -r 3.10.0-327.36.3.el7.x86_64
Configuration on both IPVS machines is identical:
ipvsadm -A -t 192.168.2.100:21 -s rr
ipvsadm -a -t 192.168.2.100:21 -r 192.168.157.10:21 -m
net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
modprobe ip_vs_ftp
no iptables rules
[root@cent5 ~]# lsmod | grep -i ftp
Module Size Used by
ip_vs_ftp 39109 1
ip_vs 122241 5 ip_vs_ftp,ip_vs_rr
[root@cent7 ~]# lsmod | grep -i ftp
Module Size Used by
ip_vs_ftp 13079 0
nf_nat 26146 1 ip_vs_ftp
ip_vs 140944 5 ip_vs_rr,ip_vs_ftp
CentOS 5, with ip_vs_ftp loaded, FTP in passive mode works as expected. The
module correctly translates the IP from the real server to that of the IPVS
machine in the "227 Entering Passive Mode (x,x,x,x,.,.)" line.
For some reason I can't figure out, this doesn't happen on the latest
CentOS 7 version (same results on the latest Debian 8).
The IPVS machine on CentOS 7 never translates the IP in the "227 Entering
Passive Mode" line and never sends it back to the client.
Does anyone know what is causing this bug to occur and/or how to solve it?
Perhaps it isn't a bug and something between versions changed and I haven't
been able to find out?
Below are the capture dumps for the client->IPVS machine->FTP server. The
first dumps are for version 5, where it works, the second dump are the
dumps for version 7.
