Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.1.6
How reproducible: 100% 


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an isolated network 
2. Complete a bare metal install 

Actual results:

The bootstrap process fails; because cri-o never starts. 


Expected results:

Cri-o should be able to start on a system without a default route.

Currently, crio uses the default route to determine the "primary IP" for the node.  It uses the IP address in the same subnet as the default route to determine this.

However, I think the default route should really only be used as a hint to resolve abiguity in the case of multiple IPs.  It a single IP case i.e. common case, it is trivial to determine the primary IP.

Just got a change to test; doesn't seem to work https://github.com/cri-o/cri-o/pull/2662#issuecomment-516178852

Comment 10 Seth Jennings 2019-08-20 20:17:20 UTC
While testing our fix for this, I discovered that the kube-apiserver also can't start if there is no default route.

This will not be fixed in time for 4.2.  In fact, I'm less convinced that it is something we should "fix" now that I see the upstream kube components have the same limitation.

Disconnected and proxy documentation should indicate that a default route is required on nodes, even if that route can not reach the internet.
