perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[<>]

So I've installed and reinstalled a few times. I have not been able to discern
how or when the trigger to create the iptables config fires. Sometimes it is a
few hours and occasionally a few days will go by and it still hasn't
created/applied the firewall config. 

I'm following the directions in the documentation
http://docs.perfsonar.net/install_centos_netinstall.html

I'm operating in an environment where I have to set a static IP is that making
some kind of difference?

I set the IP via /opt/perfsonar_ps/toolkit/scripts/nptoolkit-configure.py
because It comes up with DHCP on but the settings were passed from
installation, but DHCP will fail until I set it to use a static. I also set
the timezone and then reboot as the script suggests.... after that I wait to
see if it is going to configure the firewall or not

What basic tenant am I missing?

Cheers,
