Hi

I’m new to K8s and Rancher. I setup via rke cluster.

Within logs for the cattle-system rancher pod I get following logs:

sudo grep “Failed to connect” /var/log/pods/cattle-system\_rancher-7f4df87477-4r7c4\_dbee820d-9f7b-425e-916b-4553d74c717f/rancher/0.log

So, those log entries are from rancher server pod. The ESXi node where rke (rancher) is running on has no issue to connect to the internet.

curl -Ik [https://git.rancher.io](https://git.rancher.io)

> HTTP/2 200  
> server: openresty/1.15.8.1  
> date: Wed, 14 Apr 2021 18:10:22 GMT  
> content-type: text/html

> etag: “606a9266-2”  
> accept-ranges: bytes  
> strict-transport-security: max-age=15724800; includeSubDomains

Why is the rancher pod not able to find a route to the host?

Does someone have a clue from where this issue comes from?

Any help kindly appreciated…

I made a network configuration issue. I configured on each node on a specific nic a dns domain name. which was suffixed to all dns requests leaving the cluster.
