Pods try to reach external destination with wrong MAC
Issue
- Since an IP in the node network changed its associated MAC address (e.g. a VIP moved to a node with different MAC), it is no longer reachable from s ome nodes.
- On some nodes, pods try to reach external destinations on the node subnet with the wrong MAC address.
- On some nodes, any destination that goes via default gateway is not reachable.
- On some nodes, some concrete destinations in the node subnet are not reachable.
- On some nodes, pods cannot connect to the ingress VIP or the kube-apiserver VIP although it is reachable from the host network.
Environment
