Different management IP

[cleeistaken]

We can set a different management VLAN. Is it possible to set a different management network configuration?

• go-via on VLAN 1
• initial host PXE boot with the NIC configured for VLAN 1 with IP from network 1 (e.g. 10.0.0.1/24)
• kickstart configures the management on VLAN 2 with IP on network 2 (e.g. 172.16.16.100/16)
• host does the post configuration from network 2

Because of the post-configuration it would be expected that network 1 and network 2 are routable. :)

Not currently possible. Since both networks are routable though, what would the benefit be? other than maybe avoiding having to configure the network card to PXE boot with a vlan.

It's case where the environment has a provisioning network and a management network. :)

Their infosec team dictates they can have DHCP on their provisioning network, but not on the management network. This prevents them from running go-via on the management network. Inversely, the provisioning network has limited inbound/outbound connectivity so the hosts cannot be left on the provisioning network.

Currently the workaround is to manually relocate the hosts post-imaging from the the provisioning to the management network.
