Hi Martin,
I was sure that the hostname of the master was puppet. But still got the same 
error when I ran puppet agent —test on the agent side.  Any idea where else I 
need to check?

[root@puppet ~]# hostname
puppet
[root@puppet ~]# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1       puppet  puppet
127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
192.168.2.10 puppet puppetmaster.local





[root@centos ~]# puppet agent --test --server puppetmaster.local --noop
Error: Could not request certificate: request 
https://puppetmaster.local:8140//puppet-ca/v1/certificate/ca failed: Failed to 
open TCP connection to puppetmaster.local:8140 (getaddrinfo: Name or service 
not known)
Exiting; failed to retrieve certificate and waitforcert is disabled
