Description
Holorouter Version
9.1
VCF Version
VCF 9.1
Target Type
vCenter Cluster
Describe the bug
Maybe I'm missing something, but after booting up a new holorouter, I can't get to https://gitlab.vcf.lab until I manually move up the Port 80 and 443 rules in iptables on the holorouter itself first.
Reproduction steps
- Deploy OVA
- Attempt to visit https://gitlab.vcf.lab from a browser in the same network that uses the holorouter for DNS (fails)
- Add port 80 and port 443 rules iptables above Line 12 "DROP" rule
- GitLab accessible
Expected behavior
I would guess GitLab should be available right away if you plan to use it for deployments
