Chapter 23. Multiple networks 23.1. Understanding multiple networks In Kubernetes, container networking is delegated to networking plugins that implement the Container Network Interface (CNI). OpenShift Container Platform uses the Multus CNI plugin to allow chaining of CNI plugins. During cluster installation, you configure your default pod network. The default network handles all ordinary network traffic for the cluster. You can define an additional network based on the available CNI plugins and attach one or more of these networks to your pods. You can define more than one additional network for your cluster, depending on your needs. This gives you flexibility when you configure pods that deliver network functionality, such as switching or routing. 23.1.1. Usage scenarios for an additional network You can use an additional network in situations where network isolation is needed, including data plane and control plane separation. Isolating network traffic is useful for the following performance and security reasons: Performance You can send traffic on two different planes to manage how much traffic is along each plane. Security You can send sensitive traffic onto a network plane that is managed specifically for security considerations, and you can separate private data that must not be shared between tenants or customers. All of the pods in the cluster still use the cluster-wide default network to maintain connectivity across the cluster. Every pod has an eth0 interface that is attached to the cluster-wide pod network. You can view the interfaces for a pod by using the oc exec -it <pod_name> -- ip a command. If you add additional network interfaces that use Multus CNI, they are named net1 , net2 , ... , netN . To attach additional network interfaces to a pod, you must create configurations that define how the interfaces are attached. You specify each interface by using a NetworkAttachmentDefinition custom resource (CR). A CNI configuration inside each of these CRs defines how that interface is created. 23.1.2. Additional networks in OpenShift Container Platform OpenShift Container Platform provides the following CNI plugins for creating additional networks in your cluster: bridge : Configure a bridge-based additional network to allow pods on the same host to communicate with each other and the host. host-device : Configure a host-device additional network to allow pods access to a physical Ethernet network device on the host system. ipvlan : Configure an ipvlan-based additional network to allow pods on a host to communicate with other hosts and pods on those hosts, similar to a macvlan-based additional network. Unlike a macvlan-based additional network, each pod shares the same MAC address as the parent physical network interface. vlan : Configure a vlan-based additional network to allow VLAN-based network isolation and connectivity for pods. macvlan : Configure a macvlan-based additional network to allow pods on a host to communicate with other hosts and pods on those hosts by using a physical network interface. Each pod that is attached to a macvlan-based additional network is provided a unique MAC address. SR-IOV : Configure an SR-IOV based additional network to allow pods to attach to a virtual function (VF) interface on SR-IOV capable hardware on the host system. 23.2. Configuring an additional network As a cluster administrator, you can configure an additional network for your cluster. The following network types are supported: Bridge Host device VLAN IPVLAN MACVLAN OVN-Kubernetes 23.2.1. Approaches to managing an additional network You can manage the lifecycle of an additional network in OpenShift Container Platform by using one of two approaches: modifying the Cluster Network Operator (CNO) configuration or applying a YAML manifest. Each approach is mutually exclusive and you can only use one approach for managing an additional network at a time. For either approach, the additional network is managed by a Container Network Interface (CNI) plugin that you configure. The two different approaches are summarized here: Modifying the Cluster Network Operator (CNO) configuration: Configuring additional networks through CNO is only possible for cluster administrators. The CNO automatically creates and manages the NetworkAttachmentDefinition object. By using this approach, you can define NetworkAttachmentDefinition objects at install time through configuration of the install-config . Applying a YAML manifest: You can manage the additional network directly by creating an NetworkAttachmentDefinition object. Compared to modifying the CNO configuration, this approach gives you more granular control and flexibility when it comes to configuration. Note When deploying OpenShift Container Platform nodes with multiple network interfaces on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) with OVN Kubernetes, DNS configuration of the secondary interface might take precedence over the DNS configuration of the primary interface. In this case, remove the DNS nameservers for the subnet ID that is attached to the secondary interface: USD openstack subnet set --dns-nameserver 0.0.0.0 <subnet_id> 23.2.2. IP address assignment for additional networks For additional networks, IP addresses can be assigned using an IP Address Management (IPAM) CNI plugin, which supports various assignment methods, including Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and static assignment. The DHCP IPAM CNI plugin responsible for dynamic assignment of IP addresses operates with two distinct components: CNI Plugin : Responsible for integrating with the Kubernetes networking stack to request and release IP addresses. DHCP IPAM CNI Daemon : A listener for DHCP events that coordinates with existing DHCP servers in the environment to handle IP address assignment requests. This daemon is not a DHCP server itself. For networks requiring type: dhcp in their IPAM configuration, ensure the following: A DHCP server is available and running in the environment. The DHCP server is external to the cluster and is expected to be part of the customer's existing network infrastructure. The DHCP server is appropriately configured to serve IP addresses to the nodes. In cases where a DHCP server is unavailable in the environment, it is recommended to use the Whereabouts IPAM CNI plugin instead. The Whereabouts CNI provides similar IP address management capabilities without the need for an external DHCP server. Note Use the Whereabouts CNI plugin when there is no external DHCP server or where static IP address management is preferred. The Whereabouts plugin includes a reconciler daemon to manage stale IP address allocations. A DHCP lease must be periodically renewed throughout the container's lifetime, so a separate daemon, the DHCP IPAM CNI Daemon, is required. To deploy the DHCP IPAM CNI daemon, modify the Cluster Network Operator (CNO) configuration to trigger the deployment of this daemon as part of the additional network setup. Additional resources Dynamic IP address (DHCP) assignment configuration Dynamic IP address assignment configuration with Whereabouts 23.2.3. Configuration for an additional network attachment An additional network is configured by using the NetworkAttachmentDefinition API in the k8s.cni.cncf.io API group. Important Do not store any sensitive information or a secret in the NetworkAttachmentDefinition object because this information is accessible by the project administration user. The configuration for the API is described in the following table: Table 23.1. NetworkAttachmentDefinition API fields Field Type Description metadata.name string The name for the additional network. metadata.namespace string The namespace that the object is associated with. spec.config string The CNI plugin configuration in JSON format. 23.2.3.1. Configuration of an additional network through the Cluster Network Operator The configuration for an additional network attachment is specified as part of the Cluster Network Operator (CNO) configuration. The following YAML describes the configuration parameters for managing an additional network with the CNO: Cluster Network Operator configuration apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: Network metadata: name: cluster spec: # ... additionalNetworks: 1 - name: <name> 2 namespace: <namespace> 3 rawCNIConfig: |- 4 { ... } type: Raw 1 An array of one or more additional network configurations. 2 The name for the additional network attachment that you are creating. The name must be unique within the specified namespace . 3 The namespace to create the network attachment in. If you do not specify a value then the default namespace is used. Important To prevent namespace issues for the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin, do not name your additional network attachment default , because this namespace is reserved for the default additional network attachment. 4 A CNI plugin configuration in JSON format. 23.2.3.2. Configuration of an additional network from a YAML manifest The configuration for an additional network is specified from a YAML configuration file, such as in the following example: apiVersion: k8s.cni.cncf.io/v1 kind: NetworkAttachmentDefinition metadata: name: <name> 1 spec: config: |- 2 { ... } 1 The name for the additional network attachment that you are creating. 2 A CNI plugin configuration in JSON format. 23.2.4. Configurations for additional network types The specific configuration fields for additional networks is described in the following sections. 23.2.4.1. Configuration for a bridge additional network The following object describes the configuration parameters for the bridge CNI plugin: Table 23.2. Bridge CNI plugin JSON configuration object Field Type Description cniVersion string The CNI specification version. The 0.3.1 value is required. name string The value for the name parameter you provided previously for the CNO configuration. type string The name of the CNI plugin to configure: bridge . ipam object The configuration object for the IPAM CNI plugin.

The default value is false . isGateway boolean Optional: Set to true to assign an IP address to the bridge. The default value is false . isDefaultGateway boolean Optional: Set to true to configure the bridge as the default gateway for the virtual network. The default value is false . If isDefaultGateway is set to true , then isGateway is also set to true automatically. forceAddress boolean Optional: Set to true to allow assignment of a previously assigned IP address to the virtual bridge. When set to false , if an IPv4 address or an IPv6 address from overlapping subsets is assigned to the virtual bridge, an error occurs. The default value is false . hairpinMode boolean Optional: Set to true to allow the virtual bridge to send an Ethernet frame back through the virtual port it was received on. This mode is also known as reflective relay . The default value is false . promiscMode boolean Optional: Set to true to enable promiscuous mode on the bridge. The default value is false . vlan string Optional: Specify a virtual LAN (VLAN) tag as an integer value. By default, no VLAN tag is assigned. preserveDefaultVlan string Optional: Indicates whether the default vlan must be preserved on the veth end connected to the bridge. Defaults to true. mtu integer Optional: Set the maximum transmission unit (MTU) to the specified value. The default value is automatically set by the kernel. enabledad boolean Optional: Enables duplicate address detection for the container side veth . The default value is false . macspoofchk boolean Optional: Enables mac spoof check, limiting the traffic originating from the container to the mac address of the interface. The default value is false . Note The VLAN parameter configures the VLAN tag on the host end of the veth and also enables the vlan_filtering feature on the bridge interface. Note To configure uplink for a L2 network you need to allow the vlan on the uplink interface by using the following command: USD bridge vlan add vid VLAN_ID dev DEV 23.2.4.1.1. bridge configuration example The following example configures an additional network named bridge-net : { "cniVersion": "0.3.1", "name": "bridge-net", "type": "bridge", "isGateway": true, "vlan": 2, "ipam": { "type": "dhcp" } } 23.2.4.2. Configuration for a host device additional network Note Specify your network device by setting only one of the following parameters: device , hwaddr , kernelpath , or pciBusID . The following object describes the configuration parameters for the host-device CNI plugin: Table 23.3. Host device CNI plugin JSON configuration object Field Type Description cniVersion string The CNI specification version. The 0.3.1 value is required. name string The value for the name parameter you provided previously for the CNO configuration. type string The name of the CNI plugin to configure: host-device . device string Optional: The name of the device, such as eth0 . hwaddr string Optional: The device hardware MAC address. kernelpath string Optional: The Linux kernel device path, such as /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.6 . pciBusID string Optional: The PCI address of the network device, such as 0000:00:1f.6 . 23.2.4.2.1. host-device configuration example The following example configures an additional network named hostdev-net : { "cniVersion": "0.3.1", "name": "hostdev-net", "type": "host-device", "device": "eth1" } 23.2.4.3. Configuration for an VLAN additional network The following object describes the configuration parameters for the VLAN CNI plugin: Table 23.4. VLAN CNI plugin JSON configuration object Field Type Description cniVersion string The CNI specification version. The 0.3.1 value is required. name string The value for the name parameter you provided previously for the CNO configuration. type string The name of the CNI plugin to configure: vlan . master string The Ethernet interface to associate with the network attachment. If a master is not specified, the interface for the default network route is used. vlanId integer Set the id of the vlan. ipam object The configuration object for the IPAM CNI plugin. The plugin manages IP address assignment for the attachment definition. mtu integer Optional: Set the maximum transmission unit (MTU) to the specified value. The default value is automatically set by the kernel. dns integer Optional: DNS information to return, for example, a priority-ordered list of DNS nameservers. linkInContainer boolean Optional: Specifies if the master interface is in the container network namespace or the main network namespace. 23.2.4.3.1. vlan configuration example The following example configures an additional network named vlan-net : { "name": "vlan-net", "cniVersion": "0.3.1", "type": "vlan", "master": "eth0", "mtu": 1500, "vlanId": 5, "linkInContainer": false, "ipam": { "type": "host-local", "subnet": "10.1.1.0/24" }, "dns": { "nameservers": [ "10.1.1.1", "8.8.8.8" ] } } 23.2.4.4. Configuration for an IPVLAN additional network The following object describes the configuration parameters for the IPVLAN CNI plugin: Table 23.5. IPVLAN CNI plugin JSON configuration object Field Type Description cniVersion string The CNI specification version. The 0.3.1 value is required. name string The value for the name parameter you provided previously for the CNO configuration. type string The name of the CNI plugin to configure: ipvlan . ipam object The configuration object for the IPAM CNI plugin. The plugin manages IP address assignment for the attachment definition. This is required unless the plugin is chained. mode string Optional: The operating mode for the virtual network. The value must be l2 , l3 , or l3s . The default value is l2 . master string Optional: The Ethernet interface to associate with the network attachment. If a master is not specified, the interface for the default network route is used. mtu integer Optional: Set the maximum transmission unit (MTU) to the specified value. The default value is automatically set by the kernel. Note The ipvlan object does not allow virtual interfaces to communicate with the master interface. Therefore the container will not be able to reach the host by using the ipvlan interface. Be sure that the container joins a network that provides connectivity to the host, such as a network supporting the Precision Time Protocol ( PTP ). A single master interface cannot simultaneously be configured to use both macvlan and ipvlan . For IP allocation schemes that cannot be interface agnostic, the ipvlan plugin can be chained with an earlier plugin that handles this logic. If the master is omitted, then the result must contain a single interface name for the ipvlan plugin to enslave. If ipam is omitted, then the result is used to configure the ipvlan interface. 23.2.4.4.1. ipvlan configuration example The following example configures an additional network named ipvlan-net : { "cniVersion": "0.3.1", "name": "ipvlan-net", "type": "ipvlan", "master": "eth1", "mode": "l3", "ipam": { "type": "static", "addresses": [ { "address": "192.168.10.10/24" } ] } } 23.2.4.5. Configuration for a MACVLAN additional network The following object describes the configuration parameters for the MAC Virtual LAN (MACVLAN) Container Network Interface (CNI) plugin: Table 23.6. MACVLAN CNI plugin JSON configuration object Field Type Description cniVersion string The CNI specification version. The 0.3.1 value is required. name string The value for the name parameter you provided previously for the CNO configuration. type string The name of the CNI plugin to configure: macvlan . ipam object The configuration object for the IPAM CNI plugin. The plugin manages IP address assignment for the attachment definition. mode string Optional: Configures traffic visibility on the virtual network. Must be either bridge , passthru , private , or vepa . If a value is not provided, the default value is bridge . master string Optional: The host network interface to associate with the newly created macvlan interface. If a value is not specified, then the default route interface is used. mtu integer Optional: The maximum transmission unit (MTU) to the specified value. The default value is automatically set by the kernel. Note If you specify the master key for the plugin configuration, use a different physical network interface than the one that is associated with your primary network plugin to avoid possible conflicts. 23.2.4.5.1. MACVLAN configuration example The following example configures an additional network named macvlan-net : { "cniVersion": "0.3.1", "name": "macvlan-net", "type": "macvlan", "master": "eth1", "mode": "bridge", "ipam": { "type": "dhcp" } } 23.2.4.6. Configuration for an OVN-Kubernetes additional network The Red Hat OpenShift Networking OVN-Kubernetes network plugin allows the configuration of secondary network interfaces for pods. To configure secondary network interfaces, you must define the configurations in the NetworkAttachmentDefinition custom resource definition (CRD). Important Configuration for an OVN-Kubernetes additional network is a Technology Preview feature only. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process. For more information about the support scope of Red Hat Technology Preview features, see Technology Preview Features Support Scope . Note Pod and multi-network policy creation might remain in a pending state until the OVN-Kubernetes control plane agent in the nodes processes the associated network-attachment-definition CR. The following sections provide example configurations for each of the topologies that OVN-Kubernetes currently allows for secondary networks. Note Networks names must be unique. For example, creating multiple NetworkAttachmentDefinition CRDs with different configurations that reference the same network is unsupported. 23.2.4.6.1. OVN-Kubernetes network plugin JSON configuration table The following table describes the configuration parameters for the OVN-Kubernetes CNI network plugin: Table 23.7. OVN-Kubernetes network plugin JSON configuration table Field Type Description cniVersion string The CNI specification version. The required value is 0.3.1 . name string The name of the network. These networks are not namespaced. For example, you can have a network named l2-network referenced from two different NetworkAttachmentDefinitions that exist on two different namespaces. This ensures that pods making use of the NetworkAttachmentDefinition on their own different namespaces can communicate over the same secondary network. However, those two different NetworkAttachmentDefinitions must also share the same network specific parameters such as topology , subnets , mtu , and excludeSubnets . type string The name of the CNI plugin to configure. The required value is ovn-k8s-cni-overlay . topology string The topological configuration for the network. The required value is layer2 . subnets string The subnet to use for the network across the cluster. For "topology":"layer2" deployments, IPv6 ( 2001:DBB::/64 ) and dual-stack ( 192.168.100.0/24,2001:DBB::/64 ) subnets are supported. mtu string The maximum transmission unit (MTU) to the specified value. The default value, 1300 , is automatically set by the kernel. netAttachDefName string The metadata namespace and name of the network attachment definition object where this configuration is included. For example, if this configuration is defined in a NetworkAttachmentDefinition in namespace ns1 named l2-network , this should be set to ns1/l2-network . excludeSubnets string A comma-separated list of CIDRs and IPs. IPs are removed from the assignable IP pool, and are never passed to the pods. When omitted, the logical switch implementing the network only provides layer 2 communication, and users must configure IPs for the pods. Port security only prevents MAC spoofing. 23.2.4.6.2. Configuration for a switched topology The switched (layer 2) topology networks interconnect the workloads through a cluster-wide logical switch. This configuration can be used for IPv6 and dual-stack deployments. Note Layer 2 switched topology networks only allow for the transfer of data packets between pods within a cluster. The following NetworkAttachmentDefinition custom resource definition (CRD) YAML describes the fields needed to configure a switched secondary network. { "cniVersion": "0.3.1", "name": "l2-network", "type": "ovn-k8s-cni-overlay", "topology":"layer2", "subnets": "10.100.200.0/24", "mtu": 1300, "netAttachDefName": "ns1/l2-network", "excludeSubnets": "10.100.200.0/29" } 23.2.4.6.3. Configuring pods for additional networks You must specify the secondary network attachments through the k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks annotation. The following example provisions a pod with two secondary attachments, one for each of the attachment configurations presented in this guide. apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: annotations: k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks: l2-network name: tinypod namespace: ns1 spec: containers: - args: - pause image: k8s.gcr.io/e2e-test-images/agnhost:2.36 imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent name: agnhost-container 23.2.4.6.4. Configuring pods with a static IP address The following example provisions a pod with a static IP address. Note You can only specify the IP address for a pod's secondary network attachment for layer 2 attachments. Specifying a static IP address for the pod is only possible when the attachment configuration does not feature subnets. apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: annotations: k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks: '[ { "name": "l2-network", 1 "mac": "02:03:04:05:06:07", 2 "interface": "myiface1", 3 "ips": [ "192.0.2.20/24" ] 4 } ]' name: tinypod namespace: ns1 spec: containers: - args: - pause image: k8s.gcr.io/e2e-test-images/agnhost:2.36 imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent name: agnhost-container 1 The name of the network. This value must be unique across all NetworkAttachmentDefinitions . 2 The MAC address to be assigned for the interface. 3 The name of the network interface to be created for the pod. 4 The IP addresses to be assigned to the network interface. 23.2.5. Configuration of IP address assignment for an additional network The IP address management (IPAM) Container Network Interface (CNI) plugin provides IP addresses for other CNI plugins. You can use the following IP address assignment types: Static assignment. Dynamic assignment through a DHCP server. The DHCP server you specify must be reachable from the additional network. Dynamic assignment through the Whereabouts IPAM CNI plugin. 23.2.5.1. Static IP address assignment configuration The following table describes the configuration for static IP address assignment: Table 23.8. ipam static configuration object Field Type Description type string The IPAM address type. The value static is required. addresses array An array of objects specifying IP addresses to assign to the virtual interface. Both IPv4 and IPv6 IP addresses are supported. routes array An array of objects specifying routes to configure inside the pod. dns array Optional: An array of objects specifying the DNS configuration. The addresses array requires objects with the following fields: Table 23.9. ipam.addresses[] array Field Type Description address string An IP address and network prefix that you specify. For example, if you specify 10.10.21.10/24 , then the additional network is assigned an IP address of 10.10.21.10 and the netmask is 255.255.255.0 . gateway string The default gateway to route egress network traffic to. Table 23.10. ipam.routes[] array Field Type Description dst string The IP address range in CIDR format, such as 192.168.17.0/24 or 0.0.0.0/0 for the default route. gw string The gateway where network traffic is routed. Table 23.11. ipam.dns object Field Type Description nameservers array An array of one or more IP addresses for to send DNS queries to. domain array The default domain to append to a hostname. For example, if the domain is set to example.com , a DNS lookup query for example-host is rewritten as example-host.example.com . search array An array of domain names to append to an unqualified hostname, such as example-host , during a DNS lookup query. Static IP address assignment configuration example { "ipam": { "type": "static", "addresses": [ { "address": "191.168.1.7/24" } ] } } 23.2.5.2. Dynamic IP address (DHCP) assignment configuration The following JSON describes the configuration for dynamic IP address address assignment with DHCP. Renewal of DHCP leases A pod obtains its original DHCP lease when it is created. The lease must be periodically renewed by a minimal DHCP server deployment running on the cluster. To trigger the deployment of the DHCP server, you must create a shim network attachment by editing the Cluster Network Operator configuration, as in the following example: Example shim network attachment definition apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: Network metadata: name: cluster spec: additionalNetworks: - name: dhcp-shim namespace: default type: Raw rawCNIConfig: |- { "name": "dhcp-shim", "cniVersion": "0.3.1", "type": "bridge", "ipam": { "type": "dhcp" } } # ... Table 23.12. ipam DHCP configuration object Field Type Description type string The IPAM address type. The value dhcp is required. Dynamic IP address (DHCP) assignment configuration example { "ipam": { "type": "dhcp" } } 23.2.5.3. Dynamic IP address assignment configuration with Whereabouts The Whereabouts CNI plugin allows the dynamic assignment of an IP address to an additional network without the use of a DHCP server. The following table describes the configuration for dynamic IP address assignment with Whereabouts: Table 23.13. ipam whereabouts configuration object Field Type Description type string The IPAM address type. The value whereabouts is required. range string An IP address and range in CIDR notation. IP addresses are assigned from within this range of addresses. exclude array Optional: A list of zero or more IP addresses and ranges in CIDR notation. IP addresses within an excluded address range are not assigned. Dynamic IP address assignment configuration example that uses Whereabouts { "ipam": { "type": "whereabouts", "range": "192.0.2.192/27", "exclude": [ "192.0.2.192/30", "192.0.2.196/32" ] } } 23.2.5.4. Creating a whereabouts-reconciler daemon set The Whereabouts reconciler is responsible for managing dynamic IP address assignments for the pods within a cluster by using the Whereabouts IP Address Management (IPAM) solution. It ensures that each pod gets a unique IP address from the specified IP address range. It also handles IP address releases when pods are deleted or scaled down. Note You can also use a NetworkAttachmentDefinition custom resource (CR) for dynamic IP address assignment. The whereabouts-reconciler daemon set is automatically created when you configure an additional network through the Cluster Network Operator. It is not automatically created when you configure an additional network from a YAML manifest. To trigger the deployment of the whereabouts-reconciler daemon set, you must manually create a whereabouts-shim network attachment by editing the Cluster Network Operator custom resource (CR) file. Use the following procedure to deploy the whereabouts-reconciler daemon set. Procedure Edit the Network.operator.openshift.io custom resource (CR) by running the following command: USD oc edit network.operator.openshift.io cluster Include the additionalNetworks section shown in this example YAML extract within the spec definition of the custom resource (CR): apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: Network metadata: name: cluster # ... spec: additionalNetworks: - name: whereabouts-shim namespace: default rawCNIConfig: |- { "name": "whereabouts-shim", "cniVersion": "0.3.1", "type": "bridge", "ipam": { "type": "whereabouts" } } type: Raw # ... Save the file and exit the text editor. Verify that the whereabouts-reconciler daemon set deployed successfully by running the following command: USD oc get all -n openshift-multus | grep whereabouts-reconciler Example output pod/whereabouts-reconciler-jnp6g 1/1 Running 0 6s pod/whereabouts-reconciler-k76gg 1/1 Running 0 6s pod/whereabouts-reconciler-k86t9 1/1 Running 0 6s pod/whereabouts-reconciler-p4sxw 1/1 Running 0 6s pod/whereabouts-reconciler-rvfdv 1/1 Running 0 6s pod/whereabouts-reconciler-svzw9 1/1 Running 0 6s daemonset.apps/whereabouts-reconciler 6 6 6 6 6 kubernetes.io/os=linux 6s 23.2.5.5. Configuring the Whereabouts IP reconciler schedule The Whereabouts IPAM CNI plugin runs the IP reconciler daily. This process cleans up any stranded IP allocations that might result in exhausting IPs and therefore prevent new pods from getting an IP allocated to them. Use this procedure to change the frequency at which the IP reconciler runs. Prerequisites You installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role. You have deployed the whereabouts-reconciler daemon set, and the whereabouts-reconciler pods are up and running. Procedure Run the following command to create a ConfigMap object named whereabouts-config in the openshift-multus namespace with a specific cron expression for the IP reconciler: USD oc create configmap whereabouts-config -n openshift-multus --from-literal=reconciler_cron_expression="*/15 * * * *" This cron expression indicates the IP reconciler runs every 15 minutes. Adjust the expression based on your specific requirements. Note The whereabouts-reconciler daemon set can only consume a cron expression pattern that includes five asterisks.

Creating an additional network attachment with the Cluster Network Operator The Cluster Network Operator (CNO) manages additional network definitions. When you specify an additional network to create, the CNO creates the NetworkAttachmentDefinition object automatically. Important Do not edit the NetworkAttachmentDefinition objects that the Cluster Network Operator manages. Doing so might disrupt network traffic on your additional network. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Procedure Optional: Create the namespace for the additional networks: USD oc create namespace <namespace_name> To edit the CNO configuration, enter the following command: USD oc edit networks.operator.openshift.io cluster Modify the CR that you are creating by adding the configuration for the additional network that you are creating, as in the following example CR. apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: Network metadata: name: cluster spec: # ... additionalNetworks: - name: tertiary-net namespace: namespace2 type: Raw rawCNIConfig: |- { "cniVersion": "0.3.1", "name": "tertiary-net", "type": "ipvlan", "master": "eth1", "mode": "l2", "ipam": { "type": "static", "addresses": [ { "address": "192.168.1.23/24" } ] } } Save your changes and quit the text editor to commit your changes. Verification Confirm that the CNO created the NetworkAttachmentDefinition object by running the following command. There might be a delay before the CNO creates the object. USD oc get network-attachment-definitions -n <namespace> where: <namespace> Specifies the namespace for the network attachment that you added to the CNO configuration. Example output NAME AGE test-network-1 14m 23.2.7. Creating an additional network attachment by applying a YAML manifest Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Procedure Create a YAML file with your additional network configuration, such as in the following example: apiVersion: k8s.cni.cncf.io/v1 kind: NetworkAttachmentDefinition metadata: name: -net spec: config: |- { "cniVersion": "0.3.1", "name": "work-network", "type": "host-device", "device": "eth1", "ipam": { "type": "dhcp" } } To create the additional network, enter the following command: USD oc apply -f <file>.yaml where: <file> Specifies the name of the file contained the YAML manifest. 23.3. About virtual routing and forwarding 23.3.1. About virtual routing and forwarding Virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) devices combined with IP rules provide the ability to create virtual routing and forwarding domains. VRF reduces the number of permissions needed by CNF, and provides increased visibility of the network topology of secondary networks. VRF is used to provide multi-tenancy functionality, for example, where each tenant has its own unique routing tables and requires different default gateways. Processes can bind a socket to the VRF device. Packets through the binded socket use the routing table associated with the VRF device. An important feature of VRF is that it impacts only OSI model layer 3 traffic and above so L2 tools, such as LLDP, are not affected. This allows higher priority IP rules such as policy based routing to take precedence over the VRF device rules directing specific traffic. 23.3.1.1. Benefits of secondary networks for pods for telecommunications operators In telecommunications use cases, each CNF can potentially be connected to multiple different networks sharing the same address space. These secondary networks can potentially conflict with the cluster's main network CIDR. Using the CNI VRF plugin, network functions can be connected to different customers' infrastructure using the same IP address, keeping different customers isolated. IP addresses are overlapped with OpenShift Container Platform IP space. The CNI VRF plugin also reduces the number of permissions needed by CNF and increases the visibility of network topologies of secondary networks. 23.4. Configuring multi-network policy As a cluster administrator, you can configure multi-network for additional networks. You can specify multi-network policy for SR-IOV and macvlan additional networks. Macvlan additional networks are fully supported. Other types of additional networks, such as ipvlan, are not supported. Important Support for configuring multi-network policies for SR-IOV additional networks is a Technology Preview feature and is only supported with kernel network interface cards (NICs). SR-IOV is not supported for Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) applications. For more information about the support scope of Red Hat Technology Preview features, see Technology Preview Features Support Scope . Note Configured network policies are ignored in IPv6 networks. 23.4.1. Differences between multi-network policy and network policy Although the MultiNetworkPolicy API implements the NetworkPolicy API, there are several important differences: You must use the MultiNetworkPolicy API: apiVersion: k8s.cni.cncf.io/v1beta1 kind: MultiNetworkPolicy You must use the multi-networkpolicy resource name when using the CLI to interact with multi-network policies. For example, you can view a multi-network policy object with the oc get multi-networkpolicy <name> command where <name> is the name of a multi-network policy. You must specify an annotation with the name of the network attachment definition that defines the macvlan or SR-IOV additional network: apiVersion: k8s.cni.cncf.io/v1beta1 kind: MultiNetworkPolicy metadata: annotations: k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/policy-for: <network_name> where: <network_name> Specifies the name of a network attachment definition. 23.4.2. Enabling multi-network policy for the cluster As a cluster administrator, you can enable multi-network policy support on your cluster. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Log in to the cluster with a user with cluster-admin privileges. Procedure Create the multinetwork-enable-patch.yaml file with the following YAML: apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: Network metadata: name: cluster spec: useMultiNetworkPolicy: true Configure the cluster to enable multi-network policy: USD oc patch network.operator.openshift.io cluster --type=merge --patch-file=multinetwork-enable-patch.yaml Example output network.operator.openshift.io/cluster patched 23.4.3. Working with multi-network policy As a cluster administrator, you can create, edit, view, and delete multi-network policies. 23.4.3.1. Prerequisites You have enabled multi-network policy support for your cluster. 23.4.3.2. Creating a multi-network policy using the CLI To define granular rules describing ingress or egress network traffic allowed for namespaces in your cluster, you can create a multi-network policy. Prerequisites Your cluster uses a network plugin that supports NetworkPolicy objects, such as the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin or the OpenShift SDN network plugin with mode: NetworkPolicy set. This mode is the default for OpenShift SDN. You installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You are logged in to the cluster with a user with cluster-admin privileges. You are working in the namespace that the multi-network policy applies to. Procedure Create a policy rule: Create a <policy_name>.yaml file: USD touch <policy_name>.yaml where: <policy_name> Specifies the multi-network policy file name. Define a multi-network policy in the file that you just created, such as in the following examples: Deny ingress from all pods in all namespaces This is a fundamental policy, blocking all cross-pod networking other than cross-pod traffic allowed by the configuration of other Network Policies. apiVersion: k8s.cni.cncf.io/v1beta1 kind: MultiNetworkPolicy metadata: name: deny-by-default annotations: k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/policy-for: <network_name> spec: podSelector: ingress: [] where: <network_name> Specifies the name of a network attachment definition. Allow ingress from all pods in the same namespace apiVersion: k8s.cni.cncf.io/v1beta1 kind: MultiNetworkPolicy metadata: name: allow-same-namespace annotations: k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/policy-for: <network_name> spec: podSelector: ingress: - from: - podSelector: {} where: <network_name> Specifies the name of a network attachment definition. Allow ingress traffic to one pod from a particular namespace This policy allows traffic to pods labelled pod-a from pods running in namespace-y . apiVersion: k8s.cni.cncf.io/v1beta1 kind: MultiNetworkPolicy metadata: name: allow-traffic-pod annotations: k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/policy-for: <network_name> spec: podSelector: matchLabels: pod: pod-a policyTypes: - Ingress ingress: - from: - namespaceSelector: matchLabels: kubernetes.io/metadata.name: namespace-y where: <network_name> Specifies the name of a network attachment definition. Restrict traffic to a service This policy when applied ensures every pod with both labels app=bookstore and role=api can only be accessed by pods with label app=bookstore . In this example the application could be a REST API server, marked with labels app=bookstore and role=api . This example addresses the following use cases: Restricting the traffic to a service to only the other microservices that need to use it. Restricting the connections to a database to only permit the application using it. apiVersion: k8s.cni.cncf.io/v1beta1 kind: MultiNetworkPolicy metadata: name: api-allow annotations: k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/policy-for: <network_name> spec: podSelector: matchLabels: app: bookstore role: api ingress: - from: - podSelector: matchLabels: app: bookstore where: <network_name> Specifies the name of a network attachment definition. To create the multi-network policy object, enter the following command: USD oc apply -f <policy_name>.yaml -n <namespace> where: <policy_name> Specifies the multi-network policy file name. <namespace> Optional: Specifies the namespace if the object is defined in a different namespace than the current namespace. Example output multinetworkpolicy.k8s.cni.cncf.io/deny-by-default created Note If you log in to the web console with cluster-admin privileges, you have a choice of creating a network policy in any namespace in the cluster directly in YAML or from a form in the web console. 23.4.3.3. Editing a multi-network policy You can edit a multi-network policy in a namespace. Prerequisites Your cluster uses a network plugin that supports NetworkPolicy objects, such as the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin or the OpenShift SDN network plugin with mode: NetworkPolicy set. This mode is the default for OpenShift SDN. You installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You are logged in to the cluster with a user with cluster-admin privileges. You are working in the namespace where the multi-network policy exists. Procedure Optional: To list the multi-network policy objects in a namespace, enter the following command: USD oc get multi-networkpolicy where: <namespace> Optional: Specifies the namespace if the object is defined in a different namespace than the current namespace. Edit the multi-network policy object. If you saved the multi-network policy definition in a file, edit the file and make any necessary changes, and then enter the following command. USD oc apply -n <namespace> -f <policy_file>.yaml where: <namespace> Optional: Specifies the namespace if the object is defined in a different namespace than the current namespace. <policy_file> Specifies the name of the file containing the network policy. If you need to update the multi-network policy object directly, enter the following command: USD oc edit multi-networkpolicy <policy_name> -n <namespace> where: <policy_name> Specifies the name of the network policy. <namespace> Optional: Specifies the namespace if the object is defined in a different namespace than the current namespace. Confirm that the multi-network policy object is updated. USD oc describe multi-networkpolicy <policy_name> -n <namespace> where: <policy_name> Specifies the name of the multi-network policy. <namespace> Optional: Specifies the namespace if the object is defined in a different namespace than the current namespace. Note If you log in to the web console with cluster-admin privileges, you have a choice of editing a network policy in any namespace in the cluster directly in YAML or from the policy in the web console through the Actions menu. 23.4.3.4. Viewing multi-network policies using the CLI You can examine the multi-network policies in a namespace. Prerequisites You installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You are logged in to the cluster with a user with cluster-admin privileges. You are working in the namespace where the multi-network policy exists. Procedure List multi-network policies in a namespace: To view multi-network policy objects defined in a namespace, enter the following command: USD oc get multi-networkpolicy Optional: To examine a specific multi-network policy, enter the following command: USD oc describe multi-networkpolicy <policy_name> -n <namespace> where: <policy_name> Specifies the name of the multi-network policy to inspect. <namespace> Optional: Specifies the namespace if the object is defined in a different namespace than the current namespace. Note If you log in to the web console with cluster-admin privileges, you have a choice of viewing a network policy in any namespace in the cluster directly in YAML or from a form in the web console. 23.4.3.5. Deleting a multi-network policy using the CLI You can delete a multi-network policy in a namespace. Prerequisites Your cluster uses a network plugin that supports NetworkPolicy objects, such as the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin or the OpenShift SDN network plugin with mode: NetworkPolicy set. This mode is the default for OpenShift SDN. You installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You are logged in to the cluster with a user with cluster-admin privileges. You are working in the namespace where the multi-network policy exists. Procedure To delete a multi-network policy object, enter the following command: USD oc delete multi-networkpolicy <policy_name> -n <namespace> where: <policy_name> Specifies the name of the multi-network policy. <namespace> Optional: Specifies the namespace if the object is defined in a different namespace than the current namespace. Example output multinetworkpolicy.k8s.cni.cncf.io/default-deny deleted Note If you log in to the web console with cluster-admin privileges, you have a choice of deleting a network policy in any namespace in the cluster directly in YAML or from the policy in the web console through the Actions menu. 23.4.3.6. Creating a default deny all multi-network policy This is a fundamental policy, blocking all cross-pod networking other than network traffic allowed by the configuration of other deployed network policies. This procedure enforces a default deny-by-default policy. Note If you log in with a user with the cluster-admin role, then you can create a network policy in any namespace in the cluster. Prerequisites Your cluster uses a network plugin that supports NetworkPolicy objects, such as the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin or the OpenShift SDN network plugin with mode: NetworkPolicy set. This mode is the default for OpenShift SDN. You installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You are logged in to the cluster with a user with cluster-admin privileges. You are working in the namespace that the multi-network policy applies to. Procedure Create the following YAML that defines a deny-by-default policy to deny ingress from all pods in all namespaces. Save the YAML in the deny-by-default.yaml file: apiVersion: k8s.cni.cncf.io/v1beta1 kind: MultiNetworkPolicy metadata: name: deny-by-default namespace: default 1 annotations: k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/policy-for: <network_name> 2 spec: podSelector: {} 3 ingress: [] 4 1 namespace: default deploys this policy to the default namespace. 2 network_name : specifies the name of a network attachment definition. 3 podSelector: is empty, this means it matches all the pods. Therefore, the policy applies to all pods in the default namespace. 4 There are no ingress rules specified. This causes incoming traffic to be dropped to all pods. Apply the policy by entering the following command: USD oc apply -f deny-by-default.yaml Example output multinetworkpolicy.k8s.cni.cncf.io/deny-by-default created 23.4.3.7. Creating a multi-network policy to allow traffic from external clients With the deny-by-default policy in place you can proceed to configure a policy that allows traffic from external clients to a pod with the label app=web . Note If you log in with a user with the cluster-admin role, then you can create a network policy in any namespace in the cluster. Follow this procedure to configure a policy that allows external service from the public Internet directly or by using a Load Balancer to access the pod. Traffic is only allowed to a pod with the label app=web . Prerequisites Your cluster uses a network plugin that supports NetworkPolicy objects, such as the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin or the OpenShift SDN network plugin with mode: NetworkPolicy set. This mode is the default for OpenShift SDN. You installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You are logged in to the cluster with a user with cluster-admin privileges. You are working in the namespace that the multi-network policy applies to. Procedure Create a policy that allows traffic from the public Internet directly or by using a load balancer to access the pod.

Additional resources About network policy Understanding multiple networks Configuring a macvlan network Configuring an SR-IOV network device 23.5. Attaching a pod to an additional network As a cluster user you can attach a pod to an additional network. 23.5.1. Adding a pod to an additional network You can add a pod to an additional network. The pod continues to send normal cluster-related network traffic over the default network. When a pod is created additional networks are attached to it. However, if a pod already exists, you cannot attach additional networks to it. The pod must be in the same namespace as the additional network. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Log in to the cluster. Procedure Add an annotation to the Pod object. Only one of the following annotation formats can be used: To attach an additional network without any customization, add an annotation with the following format. Replace <network> with the name of the additional network to associate with the pod: metadata: annotations: k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks: <network>[,<network>,...] 1 1 To specify more than one additional network, separate each network with a comma. Do not include whitespace between the comma. If you specify the same additional network multiple times, that pod will have multiple network interfaces attached to that network. To attach an additional network with customizations, add an annotation with the following format: metadata: annotations: k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks: |- [ { "name": "<network>", 1 "namespace": "<namespace>", 2 "default-route": ["<default-route>"] 3 } ] 1 Specify the name of the additional network defined by a NetworkAttachmentDefinition object. 2 Specify the namespace where the NetworkAttachmentDefinition object is defined. 3 Optional: Specify an override for the default route, such as 192.168.17.1 . To create the pod, enter the following command. Replace <name> with the name of the pod. USD oc create -f <name>.yaml Optional: To Confirm that the annotation exists in the Pod CR, enter the following command, replacing <name> with the name of the pod. USD oc get pod <name> -o yaml In the following example, the example-pod pod is attached to the net1 additional network: USD oc get pod example-pod -o yaml apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: annotations: k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks: macvlan-bridge k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/network-status: |- 1 [{ "name": "openshift-sdn", "interface": "eth0", "ips": [ "10.128.2.14" ], "default": true, "dns": {} },{ "name": "macvlan-bridge", "interface": "net1", "ips": [ "20.2.2.100" ], "mac": "22:2f:60:a5:f8:00", "dns": {} }] name: example-pod namespace: default spec: ... status: ... 1 The k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/network-status parameter is a JSON array of objects. Each object describes the status of an additional network attached to the pod. The annotation value is stored as a plain text value. 23.5.1.1. Specifying pod-specific addressing and routing options When attaching a pod to an additional network, you may want to specify further properties about that network in a particular pod. This allows you to change some aspects of routing, as well as specify static IP addresses and MAC addresses. To accomplish this, you can use the JSON formatted annotations. Prerequisites The pod must be in the same namespace as the additional network. Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You must log in to the cluster. Procedure To add a pod to an additional network while specifying addressing and/or routing options, complete the following steps: Edit the Pod resource definition. If you are editing an existing Pod resource, run the following command to edit its definition in the default editor. Replace <name> with the name of the Pod resource to edit. USD oc edit pod <name> In the Pod resource definition, add the k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks parameter to the pod metadata mapping. The k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks accepts a JSON string of a list of objects that reference the name of NetworkAttachmentDefinition custom resource (CR) names in addition to specifying additional properties. metadata: annotations: k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks: '[<network>[,<network>,...]]' 1 1 Replace <network> with a JSON object as shown in the following examples. The single quotes are required. In the following example the annotation specifies which network attachment will have the default route, using the default-route parameter. apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: example-pod annotations: k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks: '[ { "name": "net1" }, { "name": "net2", 1 "default-route": ["192.0.2.1"] 2 }]' spec: containers: - name: example-pod command: ["/bin/bash", "-c", "sleep 2000000000000"] image: centos/tools 1 The name key is the name of the additional network to associate with the pod. 2 The default-route key specifies a value of a gateway for traffic to be routed over if no other routing entry is present in the routing table. If more than one default-route key is specified, this will cause the pod to fail to become active. The default route will cause any traffic that is not specified in other routes to be routed to the gateway. Important Setting the default route to an interface other than the default network interface for OpenShift Container Platform may cause traffic that is anticipated for pod-to-pod traffic to be routed over another interface. To verify the routing properties of a pod, the oc command may be used to execute the ip command within a pod. USD oc exec -it <pod_name> -- ip route Note You may also reference the pod's k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/network-status to see which additional network has been assigned the default route, by the presence of the default-route key in the JSON-formatted list of objects. To set a static IP address or MAC address for a pod you can use the JSON formatted annotations. This requires you create networks that specifically allow for this functionality. This can be specified in a rawCNIConfig for the CNO. Edit the CNO CR by running the following command: USD oc edit networks.operator.openshift.io cluster The following YAML describes the configuration parameters for the CNO: Cluster Network Operator YAML configuration name: <name> 1 namespace: <namespace> 2 rawCNIConfig: '{ 3 ... }' type: Raw 1 Specify a name for the additional network attachment that you are creating. The name must be unique within the specified namespace . 2 Specify the namespace to create the network attachment in. If you do not specify a value, then the default namespace is used. 3 Specify the CNI plugin configuration in JSON format, which is based on the following template. The following object describes the configuration parameters for utilizing static MAC address and IP address using the macvlan CNI plugin: macvlan CNI plugin JSON configuration object using static IP and MAC address { "cniVersion": "0.3.1", "name": "<name>", 1 "plugins": [{ 2 "type": "macvlan", "capabilities": { "ips": true }, 3 "master": "eth0", 4 "mode": "bridge", "ipam": { "type": "static" } }, { "capabilities": { "mac": true }, 5 "type": "tuning" }] } 1 Specifies the name for the additional network attachment to create. The name must be unique within the specified namespace . 2 Specifies an array of CNI plugin configurations. The first object specifies a macvlan plugin configuration and the second object specifies a tuning plugin configuration. 3 Specifies that a request is made to enable the static IP address functionality of the CNI plugin runtime configuration capabilities. 4 Specifies the interface that the macvlan plugin uses. 5 Specifies that a request is made to enable the static MAC address functionality of a CNI plugin. The above network attachment can be referenced in a JSON formatted annotation, along with keys to specify which static IP and MAC address will be assigned to a given pod. Edit the pod with: USD oc edit pod <name> macvlan CNI plugin JSON configuration object using static IP and MAC address apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: example-pod annotations: k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks: '[ { "name": "<name>", 1 "ips": [ "192.0.2.205/24" ], 2 "mac": "CA:FE:C0:FF:EE:00" 3 } ]' 1 Use the <name> as provided when creating the rawCNIConfig above. 2 Provide an IP address including the subnet mask. 3 Provide the MAC address. Note Static IP addresses and MAC addresses do not have to be used at the same time, you may use them individually, or together. To verify the IP address and MAC properties of a pod with additional networks, use the oc command to execute the ip command within a pod. USD oc exec -it <pod_name> -- ip a 23.6. Removing a pod from an additional network As a cluster user you can remove a pod from an additional network. 23.6.1. Removing a pod from an additional network You can remove a pod from an additional network only by deleting the pod. Prerequisites An additional network is attached to the pod. Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Log in to the cluster. Procedure To delete the pod, enter the following command: USD oc delete pod <name> -n <namespace> <name> is the name of the pod. <namespace> is the namespace that contains the pod. 23.7. Editing an additional network As a cluster administrator you can modify the configuration for an existing additional network. 23.7.1. Modifying an additional network attachment definition As a cluster administrator, you can make changes to an existing additional network. Any existing pods attached to the additional network will not be updated. Prerequisites You have configured an additional network for your cluster. Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Procedure To edit an additional network for your cluster, complete the following steps: Run the following command to edit the Cluster Network Operator (CNO) CR in your default text editor: USD oc edit networks.operator.openshift.io cluster In the additionalNetworks collection, update the additional network with your changes. Save your changes and quit the text editor to commit your changes. Optional: Confirm that the CNO updated the NetworkAttachmentDefinition object by running the following command. Replace <network-name> with the name of the additional network to display. There might be a delay before the CNO updates the NetworkAttachmentDefinition object to reflect your changes. USD oc get network-attachment-definitions <network-name> -o yaml For example, the following console output displays a NetworkAttachmentDefinition object that is named net1 : USD oc get network-attachment-definitions net1 -o go-template='{{printf "%s\n" .spec.config}}' { "cniVersion": "0.3.1", "type": "macvlan", "master": "ens5", "mode": "bridge", "ipam": {"type":"static","routes":[{"dst":"0.0.0.0/0","gw":"10.128.2.1"}],"addresses":[{"address":"10.128.2.100/23","gateway":"10.128.2.1"}],"dns":{"nameservers":["172.30.0.10"],"domain":"us-west-2.compute.internal","search":["us-west-2.compute.internal"]}} } 23.8. Removing an additional network As a cluster administrator you can remove an additional network attachment. 23.8.1. Removing an additional network attachment definition As a cluster administrator, you can remove an additional network from your OpenShift Container Platform cluster. The additional network is not removed from any pods it is attached to. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Procedure To remove an additional network from your cluster, complete the following steps: Edit the Cluster Network Operator (CNO) in your default text editor by running the following command: USD oc edit networks.operator.openshift.io cluster Modify the CR by removing the configuration from the additionalNetworks collection for the network attachment definition you are removing. apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: Network metadata: name: cluster spec: additionalNetworks: [] 1 1 If you are removing the configuration mapping for the only additional network attachment definition in the additionalNetworks collection, you must specify an empty collection. Save your changes and quit the text editor to commit your changes. Optional: Confirm that the additional network CR was deleted by running the following command: USD oc get network-attachment-definition --all-namespaces 23.9. Assigning a secondary network to a VRF As a cluster administrator, you can configure an additional network for a virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) domain by using the CNI VRF plugin. The virtual network that this plugin creates is associated with the physical interface that you specify. Using a secondary network with a VRF instance has the following advantages: Workload isolation Isolate workload traffic by configuring a VRF instance for the additional network. Improved security Enable improved security through isolated network paths in the VRF domain. Multi-tenancy support Support multi-tenancy through network segmentation with a unique routing table in the VRF domain for each tenant. Note Applications that use VRFs must bind to a specific device. The common usage is to use the SO_BINDTODEVICE option for a socket. The SO_BINDTODEVICE option binds the socket to the device that is specified in the passed interface name, for example, eth1 . To use the SO_BINDTODEVICE option, the application must have CAP_NET_RAW capabilities. Using a VRF through the ip vrf exec command is not supported in OpenShift Container Platform pods. To use VRF, bind applications directly to the VRF interface. Additional resources About virtual routing and forwarding 23.9.1. Creating an additional network attachment with the CNI VRF plugin The Cluster Network Operator (CNO) manages additional network definitions. When you specify an additional network to create, the CNO creates the NetworkAttachmentDefinition custom resource (CR) automatically. Note Do not edit the NetworkAttachmentDefinition CRs that the Cluster Network Operator manages. Doing so might disrupt network traffic on your additional network. To create an additional network attachment with the CNI VRF plugin, perform the following procedure. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift Container Platform CLI (oc). Log in to the OpenShift cluster as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Procedure Create the Network custom resource (CR) for the additional network attachment and insert the rawCNIConfig configuration for the additional network, as in the following example CR. Save the YAML as the file additional-network-attachment.yaml . apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: Network metadata: name: cluster spec: additionalNetworks: - name: test-network-1 namespace: additional-network-1 type: Raw rawCNIConfig: '{ "cniVersion": "0.3.1", "name": "macvlan-vrf", "plugins": [ 1 { "type": "macvlan", "master": "eth1", "ipam": { "type": "static", "addresses": [ { "address": "191.168.1.23/24" } ] } }, { "type": "vrf", 2 "vrfname": "vrf-1", 3 "table": 1001 4 }] }' 1 plugins must be a list. The first item in the list must be the secondary network underpinning the VRF network. The second item in the list is the VRF plugin configuration. 2 type must be set to vrf . 3 vrfname is the name of the VRF that the interface is assigned to. If it does not exist in the pod, it is created. 4 Optional. table is the routing table ID. By default, the tableid parameter is used. If it is not specified, the CNI assigns a free routing table ID to the VRF. Note VRF functions correctly only when the resource is of type netdevice . Create the Network resource: USD oc create -f additional-network-attachment.yaml Confirm that the CNO created the NetworkAttachmentDefinition CR by running the following command. Replace <namespace> with the namespace that you specified when configuring the network attachment, for example, additional-network-1 . USD oc get network-attachment-definitions -n <namespace> Example output NAME AGE additional-network-1 14m Note There might be a delay before the CNO creates the CR. Verification Create a pod and assign it to the additional network with the VRF instance: Create a YAML file that defines the Pod resource: Example pod-additional-net.yaml file apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: pod-additional-net annotations: k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks: '[ { "name": "test-network-1" 1 } ]' spec: containers: - name: example-pod-1 command: ["/bin/bash", "-c", "sleep 9000000"] image: centos:8 1 Specify the name of the additional network with the VRF instance. Create the Pod resource by running the following command: USD oc create -f pod-additional-net.yaml Example output pod/test-pod created Verify that the pod network attachment is connected to the VRF additional network. Start a remote session with the pod and run the following command: USD ip vrf show Example output Name Table ----------------------- vrf-1 1001 Confirm that the VRF interface is the controller for the additional interface: USD ip link Example output 5: net1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue master red state UP mode
