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
