12.4. Avoid IP address conflicts on the Provisioning network

Procedure 12.5. Identify active IP addresses

1. Install nmap:

   # yum install nmap
   

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
2. Use nmap to scan the IP address range for active addresses. This example scans the 192.0.2.0/24 range, replace this with the IP subnet of the Provisioning network (using CIDR bitmask notation):

   # nmap -sn 192.0.2.0/24
   

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
3. Review the output of the nmap scan:
   For example, you should see the IP address(es) of the Undercloud, and any other hosts that are present on the subnet. If any of the active IP addresses conflict with the IP ranges in undercloud.conf, you will need to either change the IP ranges or free up the IP addresses before introspecting or deploying the Overcloud nodes.

   # nmap -sn 192.0.2.0/24
