[Gluster-users] Peers not connecting after changing IP address

[Alex Crow]

Hi all,

You can take this post as a warning to wear your glasses and 
double-check routing.

I had a few ip rule/ip route entries to direct traffic in and out of 
specific interfaces. The "office" range was under 172.18.x and the new 
datacenter was under 192.168.x. I'd not spotted that I'd changed the 
last two octets on my ip rule/route settings only on the "datacenter" 
range, so the "office" one had the first two octets from its original 
range and the last two from the DC range.

I have had this problem before, and I wonder if it's just my own brain 
or does anyone get confused between eg.:

172.16.24.110
192.168.24.10

It's like my visual system can't parse the difference, especially when 
there are a few of them in a list together!

Apologies for wasting time and thanks to JF.

Cheers

Alex
