Hello,

I have a question I can't seem to find the answer to.

I'm connecting to a corporate console on a remote primary repository (WAN) that uses HTTPS, which I'll call Principal01.fr.
Principal01.fr has the IP address 192.1.1.3.
A Group Policy Object (GPO) on a Windows domain deployed the WAPT agent to the machines with the following settings in wapt-get.ini:
repo_url=https://Principal01.fr/wapt
wapt_server=https:/Principal01.fr.

I then set up a secondary repository (LAN) using HTTP, which I'll call Secondary02.fr, and it seems to be working correctly: it synchronizes properly with Principal01.fr.
Secondary02.fr has the IP address 192.168.1.3.

I added a rule based on the clients' IP addresses:
If the client belongs to the 192.168.1.00/24 ​​network (I put "00" in the subnet mask because that's what the documentation I'm supposed to follow indicated), then the repository used should be:
http://Secondaire02.fr/wapt.

I checked WAPT, WUA, WADS, and disabled fallback.

However, on my console (on Principal01.fr), when I go to the Inventory section and select a client from the 192.168.1.00/24 ​​range, in the Repositories tab, I only see the primary repository, and not the secondary one.

Package downloads from the clients seem very slow for a LAN deployment, and I suspect the clients are connecting directly to Principal01.fr.

My questions are therefore as follows:

Is it normal that, in the machine inventory, the displayed repository is Principal01.fr and not Secondaire02.fr (is this simply a reflection of the wapt-get.ini file)?

How can I verify that my clients are correctly retrieving packages from the secondary (LAN) repository?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Good morning

Can you provide the link to the documentation that specifies to enter 00?

In terms of value, this is indeed not allowed; the Python code will not accept:

KO

Code: Select all

>>> ipaddress.ip_network("192.168.1.00/24")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in <module>
  File "ipaddress.py", line 83, in ip_network
ValueError: '192.168.1.00/24' does not appear to be an IPv4 or IPv6 network
OK

Code: Select all

>>> ipaddress.ip_network("192.168.1.0/24")
IPv4Network('192.168.1.0/24')

Hello,

I've corrected the rule and will implement further updates to assess the network impact.

Regarding the documentation, it's an internal procedure, not official documentation.

Thank you for your help.

Hi again,

I can confirm that it's working and the secondary repository now appears in the machine's inventory.

Thank you for your help.
