[Spacewalk-list] Client machine update issue without internet

[Dhaval Oza]

Robert,

We are not use /etc/hosts file on client side for resolving name (my spacewalk server ip is 192.168.12.52), as per your instruction we are remove gateway IP,  when I trigger "route -n" and "yum repolist --verbose" it display below.

root at testspacewalk ~]# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface

Dhaval,

So do you use /etc/hosts on the client to provide a name/IP address match for the spacewalk master server?
When you say you removed the gateway IP, do you have any routes in your route table?  What does route -n show?

Also, what do you get when you do this command:

  yum repolist --verbose

Robert

Hi Lukas,

Yes the client connects to spacewalk server locally, on a LAN, and it has network connection for communication with the spacewalk server. 

What I mean by stopping internet connection is the following:

I removed gateway IP on client side machines.
I removed DNS IPs on client side machines.

This is needed to be done since our requirement is that no client should be able to connect to internet, however they should be able to connect to spacewalk server.

I hope this makes it clear.

Awaiting your help,

Thanks and Regards,
Dhaval

Hi,
I assume that the client connects to spacewalk server locally, on a LAN.
So the client needs network connection for communication with the spacewalk server.

What you mean with "stop internet connection on client"?
How do you do that?
