openQA Project (public) - coordination #122650: [epic] Fix firewall block and improve error reporting when test fails in curl log upload
Ask SUSE-IT network admins to REJECT packets instead of DROP so that we get more clear results size:S
0%
Description
Motivation¶
When there is traffic blocked in the network dropped packets cause a lot of confusion, e.g. see #122539. If possible the firewall should be changed to REJECT rather than DROP packets in the hope that this gives more clear error messages
Acceptance criteria¶
- AC1: An example command failure due to firewall-rejected (rather than dropped) traffic is shown within the SUSE network
Suggestions¶
- Ask Lazaros Haleplidis in chat and wait for response -> https://suse.slack.com/archives/C0488BZNA5S/p1672748720536449?thread_ts=1670498352.238729&cid=C0488BZNA5S
- If not successful within reasonable time open SD ticket and wait for that
- Document outcome reachable to openQA test reviewers

Discussing with lhaleplidis. The firewall supports a TCP_RESET so it depends if the applications handle it properly. The proper way would be to respond with "port unreachable". So maybe we don't want this. lhaleplidis will create a ticket about this so that we should be able to track this.

We will either hear about it or not. I don't consider this important enough for me to track within our clogged-up backlog.
