4.14.7.1 Switch and Server Clocks are not Synchronized
This can be fixed by using NTP to synchronize the
clocks at the switch (using the CLI command
ntp
) and at the server (e.g. using
ntpdate
).
4.14.7.2 Outdated or Invalid SSL Certificates Either on the Switch or the Server
This can be fixed on the switch using the CLI command
puppet-agent clear-certificates
(requires
puppet-agent restart
to take effect).
On the server it can be fixed by running
puppet cert clean <switch_fqdn>
(FQDN is the
Fully Qualified Domain Name which consists of a hostname and a domain suffix).
4.14.7.3 Communications Issue
Make sure it is possible to pin
g the puppet server hostname from the switch (using the CLI com-
mand
ping
).
If the hostname is not reachable (e.g. no DNS server) it can be statically added to the switch local
hosts lookup (using the CLI
command
ip host
).
Make sure that port 8140 is open (using the
command tracepath {<hostname> | <ip>}/8140).
