Chapter 26. OVN-Kubernetes network plugin 26.1. About the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin The OpenShift Container Platform cluster uses a virtualized network for pod and service networks. Part of Red Hat OpenShift Networking, the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin is the default network provider for OpenShift Container Platform. OVN-Kubernetes is based on Open Virtual Network (OVN) and provides an overlay-based networking implementation. A cluster that uses the OVN-Kubernetes plugin also runs Open vSwitch (OVS) on each node. OVN configures OVS on each node to implement the declared network configuration. Note OVN-Kubernetes is the default networking solution for OpenShift Container Platform and single-node OpenShift deployments. OVN-Kubernetes, which arose from the OVS project, uses many of the same constructs, such as open flow rules, to determine how packets travel through the network. For more information, see the Open Virtual Network website . OVN-Kubernetes is a series of daemons for OVS that translate virtual network configurations into OpenFlow rules. OpenFlow is a protocol for communicating with network switches and routers, providing a means for remotely controlling the flow of network traffic on a network device, allowing network administrators to configure, manage, and monitor the flow of network traffic. OVN-Kubernetes provides more of the advanced functionality not available with OpenFlow . OVN supports distributed virtual routing, distributed logical switches, access control, DHCP and DNS. OVN implements distributed virtual routing within logic flows which equate to open flows. So for example if you have a pod that sends out a DHCP request on the network, it sends out that broadcast looking for DHCP address there will be a logic flow rule that matches that packet, and it responds giving it a gateway, a DNS server an IP address and so on. OVN-Kubernetes runs a daemon on each node. There are daemon sets for the databases and for the OVN controller that run on every node. The OVN controller programs the Open vSwitch daemon on the nodes to support the network provider features; egress IPs, firewalls, routers, hybrid networking, IPSEC encryption, IPv6, network policy, network policy logs, hardware offloading and multicast. 26.1.1. OVN-Kubernetes purpose The OVN-Kubernetes network plugin is an open-source, fully-featured Kubernetes CNI plugin that uses Open Virtual Network (OVN) to manage network traffic flows. OVN is a community developed, vendor-agnostic network virtualization solution. The OVN-Kubernetes network plugin: Uses OVN (Open Virtual Network) to manage network traffic flows. OVN is a community developed, vendor-agnostic network virtualization solution. Implements Kubernetes network policy support, including ingress and egress rules. Uses the Geneve (Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation) protocol rather than VXLAN to create an overlay network between nodes. The OVN-Kubernetes network plugin provides the following advantages over OpenShift SDN. Full support for IPv6 single-stack and IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack networking on supported platforms Support for hybrid clusters with both Linux and Microsoft Windows workloads Optional IPsec encryption of intra-cluster communications Offload of network data processing from host CPU to compatible network cards and data processing units (DPUs) 26.1.2. Supported network plugin feature matrix Red Hat OpenShift Networking offers two options for the network plugin, OpenShift SDN and OVN-Kubernetes, for the network plugin. The following table summarizes the current feature support for both network plugins: Table 26.1. Default CNI network plugin feature comparison Feature OpenShift SDN OVN-Kubernetes Egress IPs Supported Supported Egress firewall Supported Supported [1] Egress router Supported Supported [2] Hybrid networking Not supported Supported IPsec encryption for intra-cluster communication Not supported Supported IPv4 single-stack Supported Supported IPv6 single-stack Not supported Supported [3] IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack Not Supported Supported [4] IPv6/IPv4 dual-stack Not supported Supported [5] Kubernetes network policy Supported Supported Kubernetes network policy logs Not supported Supported Hardware offloading Not supported Supported Multicast Supported Supported Egress firewall is also known as egress network policy in OpenShift SDN. This is not the same as network policy egress. Egress router for OVN-Kubernetes supports only redirect mode. IPv6 single-stack networking on a bare-metal platform. IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack networking on bare-metal, VMware vSphere (installer-provisioned infrastructure installations only), IBM Power(R), IBM Z(R), and RHOSP platforms. IPv6/IPv4 dual-stack networking on bare-metal, VMware vSphere (installer-provisioned infrastructure installations only), and IBM Power(R) platforms. 26.1.3. OVN-Kubernetes IPv6 and dual-stack limitations The OVN-Kubernetes network plugin has the following limitations: For clusters configured for dual-stack networking, both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic must use the same network interface as the default gateway. If this requirement is not met, pods on the host in the ovnkube-node daemon set enter the CrashLoopBackOff state. If you display a pod with a command such as oc get pod -n openshift-ovn-kubernetes -l app=ovnkube-node -o yaml , the status field contains more than one message about the default gateway, as shown in the following output: I1006 16:09:50.985852 60651 helper_linux.go:73] Found default gateway interface br-ex 192.168.127.1 I1006 16:09:50.985923 60651 helper_linux.go:73] Found default gateway interface ens4 fe80::5054:ff:febe:bcd4 F1006 16:09:50.985939 60651 ovnkube.go:130] multiple gateway interfaces detected: br-ex ens4 The only resolution is to reconfigure the host networking so that both IP families use the same network interface for the default gateway. For clusters configured for dual-stack networking, both the IPv4 and IPv6 routing tables must contain the default gateway. If this requirement is not met, pods on the host in the ovnkube-node daemon set enter the CrashLoopBackOff state. If you display a pod with a command such as oc get pod -n openshift-ovn-kubernetes -l app=ovnkube-node -o yaml , the status field contains more than one message about the default gateway, as shown in the following output: I0512 19:07:17.589083 108432 helper_linux.go:74] Found default gateway interface br-ex 192.168.123.1 F0512 19:07:17.589141 108432 ovnkube.go:133] failed to get default gateway interface The only resolution is to reconfigure the host networking so that both IP families contain the default gateway. 26.1.4. Session affinity Session affinity is a feature that applies to Kubernetes Service objects. You can use session affinity if you want to ensure that each time you connect to a <service_VIP>:<Port>, the traffic is always load balanced to the same back end. For more information, including how to set session affinity based on a client's IP address, see Session affinity . Stickiness timeout for session affinity The OVN-Kubernetes network plugin for OpenShift Container Platform calculates the stickiness timeout for a session from a client based on the last packet. For example, if you run a curl command 10 times, the sticky session timer starts from the tenth packet not the first. As a result, if the client is continuously contacting the service, then the session never times out. The timeout starts when the service has not received a packet for the amount of time set by the timeoutSeconds parameter.

OVN-Kubernetes architecture 26.2.1. Introduction to OVN-Kubernetes architecture The following diagram shows the OVN-Kubernetes architecture. Figure 26.1. OVK-Kubernetes architecture The key components are: Cloud Management System (CMS) - A platform specific client for OVN that provides a CMS specific plugin for OVN integration. The plugin translates the cloud management system's concept of the logical network configuration, stored in the CMS configuration database in a CMS-specific format, into an intermediate representation understood by OVN. OVN Northbound database ( nbdb ) container - Stores the logical network configuration passed by the CMS plugin. OVN Southbound database ( sbdb ) container - Stores the physical and logical network configuration state for Open vSwitch (OVS) system on each node, including tables that bind them. OVN north daemon ( ovn-northd ) - This is the intermediary client between nbdb container and sbdb container. It translates the logical network configuration in terms of conventional network concepts, taken from the nbdb container, into logical data path flows in the sbdb container. The container name for ovn-northd daemon is northd and it runs in the ovnkube-node pods. ovn-controller - This is the OVN agent that interacts with OVS and hypervisors, for any information or update that is needed for sbdb container. The ovn-controller reads logical flows from the sbdb container, translates them into OpenFlow flows and sends them to the node's OVS daemon. The container name is ovn-controller and it runs in the ovnkube-node pods. The OVN northd, northbound database, and southbound database run on each node in the cluster and mostly contain and process information that is local to that node. The OVN northbound database has the logical network configuration passed down to it by the cloud management system (CMS). The OVN northbound database contains the current desired state of the network, presented as a collection of logical ports, logical switches, logical routers, and more. The ovn-northd ( northd container) connects to the OVN northbound database and the OVN southbound database. It translates the logical network configuration in terms of conventional network concepts, taken from the OVN northbound database, into logical data path flows in the OVN southbound database. The OVN southbound database has physical and logical representations of the network and binding tables that link them together. It contains the chassis information of the node and other constructs like remote transit switch ports that are required to connect to the other nodes in the cluster. The OVN southbound database also contains all the logic flows. The logic flows are shared with the ovn-controller process that runs on each node and the ovn-controller turns those into OpenFlow rules to program Open vSwitch (OVS). The Kubernetes control plane nodes contain two ovnkube-control-plane pods on separate nodes, which perform the central IP address management (IPAM) allocation for each node in the cluster. At any given time, a single ovnkube-control-plane pod is the leader. 26.2.2. Listing all resources in the OVN-Kubernetes project Finding the resources and containers that run in the OVN-Kubernetes project is important to help you understand the OVN-Kubernetes networking implementation.

The ovnkube-config config map has the OpenShift Container Platform OVN-Kubernetes configurations. List all of the containers in the ovnkube-node pods by running the following command: USD oc get pods ovnkube-node-bcvts -o jsonpath='{.spec.containers[*].name}' -n openshift-ovn-kubernetes Expected output ovn-controller ovn-acl-logging kube-rbac-proxy-node kube-rbac-proxy-ovn-metrics northd nbdb sbdb ovnkube-controller The ovnkube-node pod is made up of several containers. It is responsible for hosting the northbound database ( nbdb container), the southbound database ( sbdb container), the north daemon ( northd container), ovn-controller and the ovnkube-controller container. The ovnkube-controller container watches for API objects like pods, egress IPs, namespaces, services, endpoints, egress firewall, and network policies. It is also responsible for allocating pod IP from the available subnet pool for that node. List all the containers in the ovnkube-control-plane pods by running the following command: USD oc get pods ovnkube-control-plane-65c6f55656-6d55h -o jsonpath='{.spec.containers[*].name}' -n openshift-ovn-kubernetes Expected output kube-rbac-proxy ovnkube-cluster-manager The ovnkube-control-plane pod has a container ( ovnkube-cluster-manager ) that resides on each OpenShift Container Platform node. The ovnkube-cluster-manager container allocates pod subnet, transit switch subnet IP and join switch subnet IP to each node in the cluster. The kube-rbac-proxy container monitors metrics for the ovnkube-cluster-manager container. 26.2.3. Listing the OVN-Kubernetes northbound database contents Each node is controlled by the ovnkube-controller container running in the ovnkube-node pod on that node. To understand the OVN logical networking entities you need to examine the northbound database that is running as a container inside the ovnkube-node pod on that node to see what objects are in the node you wish to see. Prerequisites Access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role. The OpenShift CLI ( oc ) installed.

Any pods communicate out to the wider network using source network address translation (SNAT). Their IP address is translated into the IP address of the node that the pod is running on and then sent out into the network. In addition to the chassis information the southbound database has all the logic flows and those logic flows are then sent to the ovn-controller running on each of the nodes. The ovn-controller translates the logic flows into open flow rules and ultimately programs OpenvSwitch so that your pods can then follow open flow rules and make it out of the network.

OVN-Kubernetes logical architecture OVN is a network virtualization solution. It creates logical switches and routers. These switches and routers are interconnected to create any network topologies. When you run ovnkube-trace with the log level set to 2 or 5 the OVN-Kubernetes logical components are exposed. The following diagram shows how the routers and switches are connected in OpenShift Container Platform. Figure 26.2. OVN-Kubernetes router and switch components The key components involved in packet processing are: Gateway routers Gateway routers sometimes called L3 gateway routers, are typically used between the distributed routers and the physical network. Gateway routers including their logical patch ports are bound to a physical location (not distributed), or chassis. The patch ports on this router are known as l3gateway ports in the ovn-southbound database ( ovn-sbdb ). Distributed logical routers Distributed logical routers and the logical switches behind them, to which virtual machines and containers attach, effectively reside on each hypervisor. Join local switch Join local switches are used to connect the distributed router and gateway routers. It reduces the number of IP addresses needed on the distributed router. Logical switches with patch ports Logical switches with patch ports are used to virtualize the network stack. They connect remote logical ports through tunnels. Logical switches with localnet ports Logical switches with localnet ports are used to connect OVN to the physical network. They connect remote logical ports by bridging the packets to directly connected physical L2 segments using localnet ports. Patch ports Patch ports represent connectivity between logical switches and logical routers and between peer logical routers. A single connection has a pair of patch ports at each such point of connectivity, one on each side. l3gateway ports l3gateway ports are the port binding entries in the ovn-sbdb for logical patch ports used in the gateway routers. They are called l3gateway ports rather than patch ports just to portray the fact that these ports are bound to a chassis just like the gateway router itself. localnet ports localnet ports are present on the bridged logical switches that allows a connection to a locally accessible network from each ovn-controller instance. This helps model the direct connectivity to the physical network from the logical switches. A logical switch can only have a single localnet port attached to it. 26.2.7.1.

OVN-Kubernetes network policy Important The AdminNetworkPolicy resource 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 . Kubernetes offers two features that users can use to enforce network security. One feature that allows users to enforce network policy is the NetworkPolicy API that is designed mainly for application developers and namespace tenants to protect their namespaces by creating namespace-scoped policies. For more information, see About network policy . The second feature is AdminNetworkPolicy which is comprised of two API: the AdminNetworkPolicy (ANP) API and the BaselineAdminNetworkPolicy (BANP) API. ANP and BANP are designed for cluster and network administrators to protect their entire cluster by creating cluster-scoped policies. Cluster administrators can use ANPs to enforce non-overridable policies that take precedence over NetworkPolicy objects. Administrators can use BANP to setup and enforce optional cluster-scoped network policy rules that are overridable by users using NetworkPolicy objects if need be. When used together ANP and BANP can create multi-tenancy policy that administrators can use to secure their cluster. OVN-Kubernetes CNI in OpenShift Container Platform implements these network policies using Access Control List (ACLs) Tiers to evaluate and apply them. ACLs are evaluated in descending order from Tier 1 to Tier 3. Tier 1 evaluates AdminNetworkPolicy (ANP) objects. Tier 2 evaluates NetworkPolicy objects. Tier 3 evaluates BaselineAdminNetworkPolicy (BANP) objects. Figure 26.3. OVK-Kubernetes Access Control List (ACL) If traffic matches an ANP rule, the rules in that ANP will be evaluated first. If the match is an ANP allow or deny rule, any existing NetworkPolicies and BaselineAdminNetworkPolicy (BANP) in the cluster will be intentionally skipped from evaluation. If the match is an ANP pass rule, then evaluation moves from tier 1 of the ACLs to tier 2 where the NetworkPolicy policy is evaluated. 26.4.1. AdminNetworkPolicy An AdminNetworkPolicy (ANP) is a cluster-scoped custom resource definition (CRD). As a OpenShift Container Platform administrator, you can use ANP to secure your network by creating network policies before creating namespaces. Additionally, you can create network policies on a cluster-scoped level that is non-overridable by NetworkPolicy objects. The key difference between AdminNetworkPolicy and NetworkPolicy objects are that the former is for administrators and is cluster scoped while the latter is for tenant owners and is namespace scoped. An ANP allows administrators to specify the following: A priority value that determines the order of its evaluation. The lower the value the higher the precedence. A subject that consists of a set of namespaces or namespace.. A list of ingress rules to be applied for all ingress traffic towards the subject . A list of egress rules to be applied for all egress traffic from the subject . Note The AdminNetworkPolicy resource is a TechnologyPreviewNoUpgrade feature that can be enabled on test clusters that are not in production. For more information on feature gates and TechnologyPreviewNoUpgrade features, see "Enabling features using feature gates" in the "Additional resources" of this section. AdminNetworkPolicy example Example 26.1. Example YAML file for an ANP apiVersion: policy.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha1 kind: AdminNetworkPolicy metadata: name: sample-anp-deny-pass-rules 1 spec: priority: 50 2 subject: namespaces: matchLabels: kubernetes.io/metadata.name: example.name 3 ingress: 4 - name: "deny-all-ingress-tenant-1" 5 action: "Deny" from: - pods: namespaces: 6 namespaceSelector: matchLabels: custom-anp: tenant-1 podSelector: matchLabels: custom-anp: tenant-1 7 egress: 8 - name: "pass-all-egress-to-tenant-1" action: "Pass" to: - pods: namespaces: namespaceSelector: matchLabels: custom-anp: tenant-1 podSelector: matchLabels: custom-anp: tenant-1 1 Specify a name for your ANP. 2 The spec.priority field supports a maximum of 100 ANP in the values of 0-99 in a cluster. The lower the value the higher the precedence. Creating AdminNetworkPolicy with the same priority creates a nondeterministic outcome. 3 Specify the namespace to apply the ANP resource. 4 ANP have both ingress and egress rules. ANP rules for spec.ingress field accepts values of Pass , Deny , and Allow for the action field. 5 Specify a name for the ingress.name . 6 Specify the namespaces to select the pods from to apply the ANP resource. 7 Specify podSelector.matchLabels name of the pods to apply the ANP resource. 8 ANP have both ingress and egress rules. ANP rules for spec.egress field accepts values of Pass , Deny , and Allow for the action field. Additional resources Enabling features using feature gates Network Policy API Working Group 26.4.1.1. AdminNetworkPolicy actions for rules As an administrator, you can set Allow , Deny , or Pass as the action field for your AdminNetworkPolicy rules. Because OVN-Kubernetes uses a tiered ACLs to evaluate network traffic rules, ANP allow you to set very strong policy rules that can only be changed by an administrator modifying them, deleting the rule, or overriding them by setting a higher priority rule. AdminNetworkPolicy Allow example The following ANP that is defined at priority 9 ensures all ingress traffic is allowed from the monitoring namespace towards any tenant (all other namespaces) in the cluster. Example 26.2. Example YAML file for a strong Allow ANP apiVersion: policy.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha1 kind: AdminNetworkPolicy metadata: name: allow-monitoring spec: priority: 9 subject: namespaces: {} ingress: - name: "allow-ingress-from-monitoring" action: "Allow" from: - namespaces: namespaceSelector: matchLabels: kubernetes.io/metadata.name: monitoring # ... This is an example of a strong Allow ANP because it is non-overridable by all the parties involved. No tenants can block themselves from being monitored using NetworkPolicy objects and the monitoring tenant also has no say in what it can or cannot monitor. AdminNetworkPolicy Deny example The following ANP that is defined at priority 5 ensures all ingress traffic from the monitoring namespace is blocked towards restricted tenants (namespaces that have labels security: restricted ). Example 26.3. Example YAML file for a strong Deny ANP apiVersion: policy.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha1 kind: AdminNetworkPolicy metadata: name: block-monitoring spec: priority: 5 subject: namespaces: matchLabels: security: restricted ingress: - name: "deny-ingress-from-monitoring" action: "Deny" from: - namespaces: namespaceSelector: matchLabels: kubernetes.io/metadata.name: monitoring # ... This is a strong Deny ANP that is non-overridable by all the parties involved. The restricted tenant owners cannot authorize themselves to allow monitoring traffic, and the infrastructure's monitoring service cannot scrape anything from these sensitive namespaces. When combined with the strong Allow example, the block-monitoring ANP has a lower priority value giving it higher precedence, which ensures restricted tenants are never monitored. AdminNetworkPolicy Pass example TThe following ANP that is defined at priority 7 ensures all ingress traffic from the monitoring namespace towards internal infrastructure tenants (namespaces that have labels security: internal ) are passed on to tier 2 of the ACLs and evaluated by the namespaces' NetworkPolicy objects. Example 26.4. Example YAML file for a strong Pass ANP apiVersion: policy.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha1 kind: AdminNetworkPolicy metadata: name: pass-monitoring spec: priority: 7 subject: namespaces: matchLabels: security: internal ingress: - name: "pass-ingress-from-monitoring" action: "Pass" from: - namespaces: namespaceSelector: matchLabels: kubernetes.io/metadata.name: monitoring # ... This example is a strong Pass action ANP because it delegates the decision to NetworkPolicy objects defined by tenant owners. This pass-monitoring ANP allows all tenant owners grouped at security level internal to choose if their metrics should be scraped by the infrastructures' monitoring service using namespace scoped NetworkPolicy objects. 26.4.2. BaselineAdminNetworkPolicy BaselineAdminNetworkPolicy (BANP) is a cluster-scoped custom resource definition (CRD). As a OpenShift Container Platform administrator, you can use BANP to setup and enforce optional baseline network policy rules that are overridable by users using NetworkPolicy objects if need be. Rule actions for BANP are allow or deny . The BaselineAdminNetworkPolicy resource is a cluster singleton object that can be used as a guardrail policy incase a passed traffic policy does not match any NetworkPolicy objects in the cluster. A BANP can also be used as a default security model that provides guardrails that intra-cluster traffic is blocked by default and a user will need to use NetworkPolicy objects to allow known traffic. You must use default as the name when creating a BANP resource. A BANP allows administrators to specify: A subject that consists of a set of namespaces or namespace. A list of ingress rules to be applied for all ingress traffic towards the subject . A list of egress rules to be applied for all egress traffic from the subject . Note BaselineAdminNetworkPolicy is a TechnologyPreviewNoUpgrade feature that can be enabled on test clusters that are not in production. BaselineAdminNetworkPolicy example Example 26.5. Example YAML file for BANP apiVersion: policy.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha1 kind: BaselineAdminNetworkPolicy metadata: name: default 1 spec: subject: namespaces: matchLabels: kubernetes.io/metadata.name: example.name 2 ingress: 3 - name: "deny-all-ingress-from-tenant-1" 4 action: "Deny" from: - pods: namespaces: namespaceSelector: matchLabels: custom-banp: tenant-1 5 podSelector: matchLabels: custom-banp: tenant-1 6 egress: - name: "allow-all-egress-to-tenant-1" action: "Allow" to: - pods: namespaces: namespaceSelector: matchLabels: custom-banp: tenant-1 podSelector: matchLabels: custom-banp: tenant-1 1 The policy name must be default because BANP is a singleton object. 2 Specify the namespace to apply the ANP to. 3 BANP have both ingress and egress rules. BANP rules for spec.ingress and spec.egress fields accepts values of Deny and Allow for the action field. 4 Specify a name for the ingress.name 5 Specify the namespaces to select the pods from to apply the BANP resource. 6 Specify podSelector.matchLabels name of the pods to apply the BANP resource. BaselineAdminNetworkPolicy Deny example The following BANP singleton ensures that the administrator has set up a default deny policy for all ingress monitoring traffic coming into the tenants at internal security level. When combined with the "AdminNetworkPolicy Pass example", this deny policy acts as a guardrail policy for all ingress traffic that is passed by the ANP pass-monitoring policy. Example 26.6. Example YAML file for a guardrail Deny rule apiVersion: policy.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha1 kind: BaselineAdminNetworkPolicy metadata: name: default spec: subject: namespaces: matchLabels: security: internal ingress: - name: "deny-ingress-from-monitoring" action: "Deny" from: - namespaces: namespaceSelector: matchLabels: kubernetes.io/metadata.name: monitoring # ... You can use an AdminNetworkPolicy resource with a Pass value for the action field in conjunction with the BaselineAdminNetworkPolicy resource to create a multi-tenant policy. This multi-tenant policy allows one tenant to collect monitoring data on their application while simultaneously not collecting data from a second tenant. As an administrator, if you apply both the "AdminNetworkPolicy Pass action example" and the "BaselineAdminNetwork Policy Deny example", tenants are then left with the ability to choose to create a NetworkPolicy resource that will be evaluated before the BANP. For example, Tenant 1 can set up the following NetworkPolicy resource to monitor ingress traffic: Example 26.7. Example NetworkPolicy apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1 kind: NetworkPolicy metadata: name: allow-monitoring namespace: tenant 1 spec: podSelector: policyTypes: - Ingress ingress: - from: - namespaceSelector: matchLabels: kubernetes.io/metadata.name: monitoring # ... In this scenario, Tenant 1's policy would be evaluated after the "AdminNetworkPolicy Pass action example" and before the "BaselineAdminNetwork Policy Deny example", which denies all ingress monitoring traffic coming into tenants with security level internal . With Tenant 1's NetworkPolicy object in place, they will be able to collect data on their application. Tenant 2, however, who does not have any NetworkPolicy objects in place, will not be able to collect data. As an administrator, you have not by default monitored internal tenants, but instead, you created a BANP that allows tenants to use NetworkPolicy objects to override the default behavior of your BANP. 26.5. Tracing Openflow with ovnkube-trace OVN and OVS traffic flows can be simulated in a single utility called ovnkube-trace . The ovnkube-trace utility runs ovn-trace , ovs-appctl ofproto/trace and ovn-detrace and correlates that information in a single output. You can execute the ovnkube-trace binary from a dedicated container. For releases after OpenShift Container Platform 4.7, you can also copy the binary to a local host and execute it from that host. 26.5.1. Installing the ovnkube-trace on local host The ovnkube-trace tool traces packet simulations for arbitrary UDP or TCP traffic between points in an OVN-Kubernetes driven OpenShift Container Platform cluster. Copy the ovnkube-trace binary to your local host making it available to run against the cluster. Prerequisites You installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You are logged in to the cluster with a user with cluster-admin privileges. Procedure Create a pod variable by using the following command: USD POD=USD(oc get pods -n openshift-ovn-kubernetes -l app=ovnkube-control-plane -o name | head -1 | awk -F '/' '{print USDNF}') Run the following command on your local host to copy the binary from the ovnkube-control-plane pods: USD oc cp -n openshift-ovn-kubernetes USDPOD:/usr/bin/ovnkube-trace -c ovnkube-cluster-manager ovnkube-trace Note If you are using Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8 to run the ovnkube-trace tool, you must copy the file /usr/lib/rhel8/ovnkube-trace to your local host. Make ovnkube-trace executable by running the following command: USD chmod +x ovnkube-trace Display the options available with ovnkube-trace by running the following command: USD ./ovnkube-trace -help Expected output Usage of ./ovnkube-trace: -addr-family string Address family (ip4 or ip6) to be used for tracing (default "ip4") -dst string dest: destination pod name -dst-ip string destination IP address (meant for tests to external targets) -dst-namespace string k8s namespace of dest pod (default "default") -dst-port string dst-port: destination port (default "80") -kubeconfig string absolute path to the kubeconfig file -loglevel string loglevel: klog level (default "0") -ovn-config-namespace string namespace used by ovn-config itself -service string service: destination service name -skip-detrace skip ovn-detrace command -src string src: source pod name -src-namespace string k8s namespace of source pod (default "default") -tcp use tcp transport protocol -udp use udp transport protocol The command-line arguments supported are familiar Kubernetes constructs, such as namespaces, pods, services so you do not need to find the MAC address, the IP address of the destination nodes, or the ICMP type. The log levels are: 0 (minimal output) 2 (more verbose output showing results of trace commands) 5 (debug output) 26.5.2. Running ovnkube-trace Run ovn-trace to simulate packet forwarding within an OVN logical network. Prerequisites You installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You are logged in to the cluster with a user with cluster-admin privileges. You have installed ovnkube-trace on local host Example: Testing that DNS resolution works from a deployed pod This example illustrates how to test the DNS resolution from a deployed pod to the core DNS pod that runs in the cluster. Procedure Start a web service in the default namespace by entering the following command: USD oc run web --namespace=default --image=quay.io/openshifttest/nginx --labels="app=web" --expose --port=80 List the pods running in the openshift-dns namespace: oc get pods -n openshift-dns Example output NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE dns-default-8s42x 2/2 Running 0 5h8m dns-default-mdw6r 2/2 Running 0 4h58m dns-default-p8t5h 2/2 Running 0 4h58m dns-default-rl6nk 2/2 Running 0 5h8m dns-default-xbgqx 2/2 Running 0 5h8m dns-default-zv8f6 2/2 Running 0 4h58m node-resolver-62jjb 1/1 Running 0 5h8m node-resolver-8z4cj 1/1 Running 0 4h59m node-resolver-bq244 1/1 Running 0 5h8m node-resolver-hc58n 1/1 Running 0 4h59m node-resolver-lm6z4 1/1 Running 0 5h8m node-resolver-zfx5k 1/1 Running 0 5h Run the following ovnkube-trace command to verify DNS resolution is working: USD ./ovnkube-trace \ -src-namespace default \ 1 -src web \ 2 -dst-namespace openshift-dns \ 3 -dst dns-default-p8t5h \ 4 -udp -dst-port 53 \ 5 -loglevel 0 6 1 Namespace of the source pod 2 Source pod name 3 Namespace of destination pod 4 Destination pod name 5 Use the udp transport protocol. Port 53 is the port the DNS service uses. 6 Set the log level to 0 (0 is minimal and 5 is debug) Example output if the src&dst pod lands on the same node: ovn-trace source pod to destination pod indicates success from web to dns-default-p8t5h ovn-trace destination pod to source pod indicates success from dns-default-p8t5h to web ovs-appctl ofproto/trace source pod to destination pod indicates success from web to dns-default-p8t5h ovs-appctl ofproto/trace destination pod to source pod indicates success from dns-default-p8t5h to web ovn-detrace source pod to destination pod indicates success from web to dns-default-p8t5h ovn-detrace destination pod to source pod indicates success from dns-default-p8t5h to web Example output if the src&dst pod lands on a different node: ovn-trace source pod to destination pod indicates success from web to dns-default-8s42x ovn-trace (remote) source pod to destination pod indicates success from web to dns-default-8s42x ovn-trace destination pod to source pod indicates success from dns-default-8s42x to web ovn-trace (remote) destination pod to source pod indicates success from dns-default-8s42x to web ovs-appctl ofproto/trace source pod to destination pod indicates success from web to dns-default-8s42x ovs-appctl ofproto/trace destination pod to source pod indicates success from dns-default-8s42x to web ovn-detrace source pod to destination pod indicates success from web to dns-default-8s42x ovn-detrace destination pod to source pod indicates success from dns-default-8s42x to web The ouput indicates success from the deployed pod to the DNS port and also indicates that it is successful going back in the other direction. So you know bi-directional traffic is supported on UDP port 53 if my web pod wants to do dns resolution from core DNS. If for example that did not work and you wanted to get the ovn-trace , the ovs-appctl of proto/trace and ovn-detrace , and more debug type information increase the log level to 2 and run the command again as follows: USD ./ovnkube-trace \ -src-namespace default \ -src web \ -dst-namespace openshift-dns \ -dst dns-default-467qw \ -udp -dst-port 53 \ -loglevel 2 The output from this increased log level is too much to list here. In a failure situation the output of this command shows which flow is dropping that traffic. For example an egress or ingress network policy may be configured on the cluster that does not allow that traffic. Example: Verifying by using debug output a configured default deny This example illustrates how to identify by using the debug output that an ingress default deny policy blocks traffic. 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: kind: NetworkPolicy apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1 metadata: name: deny-by-default namespace: default spec: podSelector: {} ingress: [] Apply the policy by entering the following command: USD oc apply -f deny-by-default.yaml Example output networkpolicy.networking.k8s.io/deny-by-default created Start a web service in the default namespace by entering the following command: USD oc run web --namespace=default --image=quay.io/openshifttest/nginx --labels="app=web" --expose --port=80 Run the following command to create the prod namespace: USD oc create namespace prod Run the following command to label the prod namespace: USD oc label namespace/prod purpose=production Run the following command to deploy an alpine image in the prod namespace and start a shell: USD oc run test-6459 --namespace=prod --rm -i -t --image=alpine -- sh Open another terminal session.

Additional resources Tracing Openflow with ovnkube-trace utility ovnkube-trace 26.6. Migrating from the OpenShift SDN network plugin As a cluster administrator, you can migrate to the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin from the OpenShift software-defined networking (SDN) plugin. The following methods exist for migrating from the OpenShift SDN network plugin to the OVN-Kubernetes plugin: Limited live migration (preferred method) This is an automated process that migrates your cluster from OpenShift SDN to OVN-Kubernetes. Offline migration This is a manual process that includes some downtime. This method is primarily used for self-managed OpenShift Container Platform deployments, and consider using this method when you cannot perform a limited live migration to the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin. Warning For the limited live migration method only, do not automate the migration from OpenShift SDN to OVN-Kubernetes with a script or another tool such as Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform. This might cause outages or crash your OpenShift Container Platform cluster. Additional resources About the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin 26.6.1. Offline migration to the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin overview The offline migration method is a manual process that includes some downtime, during which your cluster is unreachable. This method is primarily used for self-managed OpenShift Container Platform deployments, and is an alternative to the limited live migration procedure. It should be used in the event that you cannot perform a limited live migration to the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin. Although a rollback procedure is provided, the offline migration is intended to be a one-way process. Note OpenShift SDN CNI is deprecated as of OpenShift Container Platform 4.14. As of OpenShift Container Platform 4.15, the network plugin is not an option for new installations. In a subsequent future release, the OpenShift SDN network plugin is planned to be removed and no longer supported. Red Hat will provide bug fixes and support for this feature until it is removed, but this feature will no longer receive enhancements. As an alternative to OpenShift SDN CNI, you can use OVN Kubernetes CNI instead. The following sections provide more information about the offline migration method. 26.6.1.1. Supported platforms when using the offline migration method The following table provides information about the supported platforms for the offline migration type. Table 26.4. Supported platforms for the offline migration method Platform Offline Migration Bare metal hardware (IPI and UPI) [✓] Amazon Web Services (AWS) (IPI and UPI) [✓] Google Cloud Platform (GCP) (IPI and UPI) [✓] IBM Cloud(R) (IPI and UPI) [✓] Microsoft Azure (IPI and UPI) [✓] Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) (IPI and UPI) [✓] VMware vSphere (IPI and UPI) [✓] AliCloud (IPI and UPI) [✓] Nutanix (IPI and UPI) [✓] 26.6.1.2. Considerations for offline migration to the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin If you have more than 150 nodes in your OpenShift Container Platform cluster, then open a support case for consultation on your migration to the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin. The subnets assigned to nodes and the IP addresses assigned to individual pods are not preserved during the migration. While the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin implements many of the capabilities present in the OpenShift SDN network plugin, the configuration is not the same. If your cluster uses any of the following OpenShift SDN network plugin capabilities, you must manually configure the same capability in the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin: Namespace isolation Egress router pods Before migrating to OVN-Kubernetes, ensure that the following IP address ranges are not in use: 100.64.0.0/16 , 169.254.169.0/29 , 100.88.0.0/16 , fd98::/64 , fd69::/125 , and fd97::/64 . OVN-Kubernetes uses these ranges internally. Do not include any of these ranges in any other CIDR definitions in your cluster or infrastructure. The following sections highlight the differences in configuration between the aforementioned capabilities in OVN-Kubernetes and OpenShift SDN network plugins. Primary network interface The OpenShift SDN plugin allows application of the NodeNetworkConfigurationPolicy (NNCP) custom resource (CR) to the primary interface on a node. The OVN-Kubernetes network plugin does not have this capability. If you have an NNCP applied to the primary interface, you must delete the NNCP before migrating to the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin. Deleting the NNCP does not remove the configuration from the primary interface, but with OVN-Kubernetes, the Kubernetes NMState cannot manage this configuration. Instead, the configure-ovs.sh shell script manages the primary interface and the configuration attached to this interface. Namespace isolation OVN-Kubernetes supports only the network policy isolation mode. Important For a cluster using OpenShift SDN that is configured in either the multitenant or subnet isolation mode, you can still migrate to the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin. Note that after the migration operation, multitenant isolation mode is dropped, so you must manually configure network policies to achieve the same level of project-level isolation for pods and services. Egress IP addresses OpenShift SDN supports two different Egress IP modes: In the automatically assigned approach, an egress IP address range is assigned to a node. In the manually assigned approach, a list of one or more egress IP addresses is assigned to a node. The migration process supports migrating Egress IP configurations that use the automatically assigned mode. The differences in configuring an egress IP address between OVN-Kubernetes and OpenShift SDN is described in the following table: Table 26.5. Differences in egress IP address configuration OVN-Kubernetes OpenShift SDN Create an EgressIPs object Add an annotation on a Node object Patch a NetNamespace object Patch a HostSubnet object For more information on using egress IP addresses in OVN-Kubernetes, see "Configuring an egress IP address". Egress network policies The difference in configuring an egress network policy, also known as an egress firewall, between OVN-Kubernetes and OpenShift SDN is described in the following table: Table 26.6. Differences in egress network policy configuration OVN-Kubernetes OpenShift SDN Create an EgressFirewall object in a namespace Create an EgressNetworkPolicy object in a namespace Note Because the name of an EgressFirewall object can only be set to default , after the migration all migrated EgressNetworkPolicy objects are named default , regardless of what the name was under OpenShift SDN. If you subsequently rollback to OpenShift SDN, all EgressNetworkPolicy objects are named default as the prior name is lost. For more information on using an egress firewall in OVN-Kubernetes, see "Configuring an egress firewall for a project". Egress router pods OVN-Kubernetes supports egress router pods in redirect mode. OVN-Kubernetes does not support egress router pods in HTTP proxy mode or DNS proxy mode. When you deploy an egress router with the Cluster Network Operator, you cannot specify a node selector to control which node is used to host the egress router pod. Multicast The difference between enabling multicast traffic on OVN-Kubernetes and OpenShift SDN is described in the following table: Table 26.7. Differences in multicast configuration OVN-Kubernetes OpenShift SDN Add an annotation on a Namespace object Add an annotation on a NetNamespace object For more information on using multicast in OVN-Kubernetes, see "Enabling multicast for a project". Network policies OVN-Kubernetes fully supports the Kubernetes NetworkPolicy API in the networking.k8s.io/v1 API group. No changes are necessary in your network policies when migrating from OpenShift SDN. Additional resources Understanding update channels and releases Asynchronous errata updates 26.6.1.3. How the offline migration process works The following table summarizes the migration process by segmenting between the user-initiated steps in the process and the actions that the migration performs in response. Table 26.8. Offline migration to OVN-Kubernetes from OpenShift SDN User-initiated steps Migration activity Set the migration field of the Network.operator.openshift.io custom resource (CR) named cluster to OVNKubernetes . Make sure the migration field is null before setting it to a value. Cluster Network Operator (CNO) Updates the status of the Network.config.openshift.io CR named cluster accordingly. Machine Config Operator (MCO) Rolls out an update to the systemd configuration necessary for OVN-Kubernetes; the MCO updates a single machine per pool at a time by default, causing the total time the migration takes to increase with the size of the cluster. Update the networkType field of the Network.config.openshift.io CR. CNO Performs the following actions: Destroys the OpenShift SDN control plane pods. Deploys the OVN-Kubernetes control plane pods. Updates the Multus daemon sets and config map objects to reflect the new network plugin. Reboot each node in the cluster. Cluster As nodes reboot, the cluster assigns IP addresses to pods on the OVN-Kubernetes cluster network. 26.6.1.4. Migrating to the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin by using the offline migration method As a cluster administrator, you can change the network plugin for your cluster to OVN-Kubernetes. During the migration, you must reboot every node in your cluster. Important While performing the migration, your cluster is unavailable and workloads might be interrupted. Perform the migration only when an interruption in service is acceptable. Prerequisites You have a cluster configured with the OpenShift SDN CNI network plugin in the network policy isolation mode. You installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role. You have a recent backup of the etcd database. You can manually reboot each node. You checked that your cluster is in a known good state without any errors. You created a security group rule that allows User Datagram Protocol (UDP) packets on port 6081 for all nodes on all cloud platforms. You set all timeouts for webhooks to 3 seconds or removed the webhooks. Procedure To backup the configuration for the cluster network, enter the following command: USD oc get Network.config.openshift.io cluster -o yaml > cluster-openshift-sdn.yaml Verify that the OVN_SDN_MIGRATION_TIMEOUT environment variable is set and is equal to 0s by running the following command: #!/bin/bash if [ -n "USDOVN_SDN_MIGRATION_TIMEOUT" ] && [ "USDOVN_SDN_MIGRATION_TIMEOUT" = "0s" ]; then unset OVN_SDN_MIGRATION_TIMEOUT fi #loops the timeout command of the script to repeatedly check the cluster Operators until all are available. co_timeout=USD{OVN_SDN_MIGRATION_TIMEOUT:-1200s} timeout "USDco_timeout" bash <<EOT until oc wait co --all --for='condition=AVAILABLE=True' --timeout=10s && \ oc wait co --all --for='condition=PROGRESSING=False' --timeout=10s && \ oc wait co --all --for='condition=DEGRADED=False' --timeout=10s; do sleep 10 echo "Some ClusterOperators Degraded=False,Progressing=True,or Available=False"; done EOT Remove the configuration from the Cluster Network Operator (CNO) configuration object by running the following command: USD oc patch Network.operator.openshift.io cluster --type='merge' \ --patch '{"spec":{"migration":null}}' . Delete the NodeNetworkConfigurationPolicy (NNCP) custom resource (CR) that defines the primary network interface for the OpenShift SDN network plugin by completing the following steps: Check that the existing NNCP CR bonded the primary interface to your cluster by entering the following command: USD oc get nncp Example output NAME STATUS REASON bondmaster0 Available SuccessfullyConfigured Network Manager stores the connection profile for the bonded primary interface in the /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections system path. Remove the NNCP from your cluster: USD oc delete nncp <nncp_manifest_filename> To prepare all the nodes for the migration, set the migration field on the CNO configuration object by running the following command: USD oc patch Network.operator.openshift.io cluster --type='merge' \ --patch '{ "spec": { "migration": { "networkType": "OVNKubernetes" } } }' Note This step does not deploy OVN-Kubernetes immediately. Instead, specifying the migration field triggers the Machine Config Operator (MCO) to apply new machine configs to all the nodes in the cluster in preparation for the OVN-Kubernetes deployment. Check that the reboot is finished by running the following command: USD oc get mcp Check that all cluster Operators are available by running the following command: USD oc get co Alternatively: You can disable automatic migration of several OpenShift SDN capabilities to the OVN-Kubernetes equivalents: Egress IPs Egress firewall Multicast To disable automatic migration of the configuration for any of the previously noted OpenShift SDN features, specify the following keys: USD oc patch Network.operator.openshift.io cluster --type='merge' \ --patch '{ "spec": { "migration": { "networkType": "OVNKubernetes", "features": { "egressIP": <bool>, "egressFirewall": <bool>, "multicast": <bool> } } } }' where: bool : Specifies whether to enable migration of the feature. The default is true . Optional: You can customize the following settings for OVN-Kubernetes to meet your network infrastructure requirements: Maximum transmission unit (MTU). Consider the following before customizing the MTU for this optional step: If you use the default MTU, and you want to keep the default MTU during migration, this step can be ignored. If you used a custom MTU, and you want to keep the custom MTU during migration, you must declare the custom MTU value in this step. This step does not work if you want to change the MTU value during migration. Instead, you must first follow the instructions for "Changing the cluster MTU". You can then keep the custom MTU value by performing this procedure and declaring the custom MTU value in this step. Note OpenShift-SDN and OVN-Kubernetes have different overlay overhead. MTU values should be selected by following the guidelines found on the "MTU value selection" page. Geneve (Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation) overlay network port OVN-Kubernetes IPv4 internal subnet To customize either of the previously noted settings, enter and customize the following command. If you do not need to change the default value, omit the key from the patch. USD oc patch Network.operator.openshift.io cluster --type=merge \ --patch '{ "spec":{ "defaultNetwork":{ "ovnKubernetesConfig":{ "mtu":<mtu>, "genevePort":<port>, "v4InternalSubnet":"<ipv4_subnet>" }}}}' where: mtu The MTU for the Geneve overlay network. This value is normally configured automatically, but if the nodes in your cluster do not all use the same MTU, then you must set this explicitly to 100 less than the smallest node MTU value. port The UDP port for the Geneve overlay network. If a value is not specified, the default is 6081 . The port cannot be the same as the VXLAN port that is used by OpenShift SDN. The default value for the VXLAN port is 4789 . ipv4_subnet An IPv4 address range for internal use by OVN-Kubernetes. You must ensure that the IP address range does not overlap with any other subnet used by your OpenShift Container Platform installation. The IP address range must be larger than the maximum number of nodes that can be added to the cluster. The default value is 100.64.0.0/16 . Example patch command to update mtu field USD oc patch Network.operator.openshift.io cluster --type=merge \ --patch '{ "spec":{ "defaultNetwork":{ "ovnKubernetesConfig":{ "mtu":1200 }}}}' As the MCO updates machines in each machine config pool, it reboots each node one by one. You must wait until all the nodes are updated. Check the machine config pool status by entering the following command: USD oc get mcp A successfully updated node has the following status: UPDATED=true , UPDATING=false , DEGRADED=false . Note By default, the MCO updates one machine per pool at a time, causing the total time the migration takes to increase with the size of the cluster. Confirm the status of the new machine configuration on the hosts: To list the machine configuration state and the name of the applied machine configuration, enter the following command: USD oc describe node | egrep "hostname|machineconfig" Example output kubernetes.io/hostname=master-0 machineconfiguration.openshift.io/currentConfig: rendered-master-c53e221d9d24e1c8bb6ee89dd3d8ad7b machineconfiguration.openshift.io/desiredConfig: rendered-master-c53e221d9d24e1c8bb6ee89dd3d8ad7b machineconfiguration.openshift.io/reason: machineconfiguration.openshift.io/state: Done Verify that the following statements are true: The value of machineconfiguration.openshift.io/state field is Done . The value of the machineconfiguration.openshift.io/currentConfig field is equal to the value of the machineconfiguration.openshift.io/desiredConfig field. To confirm that the machine config is correct, enter the following command: USD oc get machineconfig <config_name> -o yaml | grep ExecStart where <config_name> is the name of the machine config from the machineconfiguration.openshift.io/currentConfig field. The machine config must include the following update to the systemd configuration: ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/configure-ovs.sh OVNKubernetes If a node is stuck in the NotReady state, investigate the machine config daemon pod logs and resolve any errors. To list the pods, enter the following command: USD oc get pod -n openshift-machine-config-operator Example output NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE machine-config-controller-75f756f89d-sjp8b 1/1 Running 0 37m machine-config-daemon-5cf4b 2/2 Running 0 43h machine-config-daemon-7wzcd 2/2 Running 0 43h machine-config-daemon-fc946 2/2 Running 0 43h machine-config-daemon-g2v28 2/2 Running 0 43h machine-config-daemon-gcl4f 2/2 Running 0 43h machine-config-daemon-l5tnv 2/2 Running 0 43h machine-config-operator-79d9c55d5-hth92 1/1 Running 0 37m machine-config-server-bsc8h 1/1 Running 0 43h machine-config-server-hklrm 1/1 Running 0 43h machine-config-server-k9rtx 1/1 Running 0 43h The names for the config daemon pods are in the following format: machine-config-daemon-<seq> . The <seq> value is a random five character alphanumeric sequence. Display the pod log for the first machine config daemon pod shown in the output by enter the following command: USD oc logs <pod> -n openshift-machine-config-operator where pod is the name of a machine config daemon pod. Resolve any errors in the logs shown by the output from the command. To start the migration, configure the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin by using one of the following commands: To specify the network provider without changing the cluster network IP address block, enter the following command: USD oc patch Network.config.openshift.io cluster \ --type='merge' --patch '{ "spec": { "networkType": "OVNKubernetes" } }' To specify a different cluster network IP address block, enter the following command: USD oc patch Network.config.openshift.io cluster \ --type='merge' --patch '{ "spec": { "clusterNetwork": [ { "cidr": "<cidr>", "hostPrefix": <prefix> } ], "networkType": "OVNKubernetes" } }' where cidr is a CIDR block and prefix is the slice of the CIDR block apportioned to each node in your cluster. You cannot use any CIDR block that overlaps with the 100.64.0.0/16 CIDR block because the OVN-Kubernetes network provider uses this block internally. Important You cannot change the service network address block during the migration. Verify that the Multus daemon set rollout is complete before continuing with subsequent steps: USD oc -n openshift-multus rollout status daemonset/multus The name of the Multus pods is in the form of multus-<xxxxx> where <xxxxx> is a random sequence of letters. It might take several moments for the pods to restart. Example output Waiting for daemon set "multus" rollout to finish: 1 out of 6 new pods have been updated... ... Waiting for daemon set "multus" rollout to finish: 5 of 6 updated pods are available... daemon set "multus" successfully rolled out To complete changing the network plugin, reboot each node in your cluster. You can reboot the nodes in your cluster with either of the following approaches: Important The following scripts reboot all of the nodes in the cluster at the same time. This can cause your cluster to be unstable. Another option is to reboot your nodes manually one at a time. Rebooting nodes one-by-one causes considerable downtime in a cluster with many nodes. Cluster Operators will not work correctly before you reboot the nodes. With the oc rsh command, you can use a bash script similar to the following: #!/bin/bash readarray -t POD_NODES <<< "USD(oc get pod -n openshift-machine-config-operator -o wide| grep daemon|awk '{print USD1" "USD7}')" for i in "USD{POD_NODES[@]}" do read -r POD NODE <<< "USDi" until oc rsh -n openshift-machine-config-operator "USDPOD" chroot /rootfs shutdown -r +1 do echo "cannot reboot node USDNODE, retry" && sleep 3 done done With the ssh command, you can use a bash script similar to the following. The script assumes that you have configured sudo to not prompt for a password. #!/bin/bash for ip in USD(oc get nodes -o jsonpath='{.items[*].status.addresses[?(@.type=="InternalIP")].address}') do echo "reboot node USDip" ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no core@USDip sudo shutdown -r -t 3 done Confirm that the migration succeeded: To confirm that the network plugin is OVN-Kubernetes, enter the following command. The value of status.networkType must be OVNKubernetes . USD oc get network.config/cluster -o jsonpath='{.status.networkType}{"\n"}' To confirm that the cluster nodes are in the Ready state, enter the following command: USD oc get nodes To confirm that your pods are not in an error state, enter the following command: USD oc get pods --all-namespaces -o wide --sort-by='{.spec.nodeName}' If pods on a node are in an error state, reboot that node. To confirm that all of the cluster Operators are not in an abnormal state, enter the following command: USD oc get co The status of every cluster Operator must be the following: AVAILABLE="True" , PROGRESSING="False" , DEGRADED="False" . If a cluster Operator is not available or degraded, check the logs for the cluster Operator for more information. Complete the following steps only if the migration succeeds and your cluster is in a good state: To remove the migration configuration from the CNO configuration object, enter the following command: USD oc patch Network.operator.openshift.io cluster --type='merge' \ --patch '{ "spec": { "migration": null } }' To remove custom configuration for the OpenShift SDN network provider, enter the following command: USD oc patch Network.operator.openshift.io cluster --type='merge' \ --patch '{ "spec": { "defaultNetwork": { "openshiftSDNConfig": null } } }' To remove the OpenShift SDN network provider namespace, enter the following command: USD oc delete namespace openshift-sdn steps Optional: After cluster migration, you can convert your IPv4 single-stack cluster to a dual-network cluster network that supports IPv4 and IPv6 address families. For more information, see "Converting to IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack networking". 26.6.2. Limited live migration to the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin overview The limited live migration method is the process in which the OpenShift SDN network plugin and its network configurations, connections, and associated resources, are migrated to the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin without service interruption. For OpenShift Container Platform 4.15, it is available for versions 4.15.31 and later. It is the preferred method for migrating from OpenShift SDN to OVN-Kubernetes. In the event that you cannot perform a limited live migration, you can use the offline migration method. Important Before you migrate your OpenShift Container Platform cluster to use the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin, update your cluster to the latest z-stream release so that all the latest bug fixes apply to your cluster. It is not available for hosted control plane deployment types. This migration method is valuable for deployment types that require constant service availability and offers the following benefits: Continuous service availability Minimized downtime Automatic node rebooting Seamless transition from the OpenShift SDN network plugin to the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin Although a rollback procedure is provided, the limited live migration is intended to be a one-way process. Note OpenShift SDN CNI is deprecated as of OpenShift Container Platform 4.14. As of OpenShift Container Platform 4.15, the network plugin is not an option for new installations. In a subsequent future release, the OpenShift SDN network plugin is planned to be removed and no longer supported. Red Hat will provide bug fixes and support for this feature until it is removed, but this feature will no longer receive enhancements. As an alternative to OpenShift SDN CNI, you can use OVN Kubernetes CNI instead. The following sections provide more information about the limited live migration method. 26.6.2.1. Supported platforms when using the limited live migration method The following table provides information about the supported platforms for the limited live migration type. Table 26.9. Supported platforms for the limited live migration method Platform Limited Live Migration Bare-metal hardware [✓] Amazon Web Services (AWS) [✓] Google Cloud Platform (GCP) [✓] IBM Cloud(R) [✓] Microsoft Azure [✓] Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) [✓] VMware vSphere [✓] Nutanix [✓] Note Each listed platform supports installing an OpenShift Container Platform cluster on installer-provisioned infrastructure and user-provisioned infrastructure. 26.6.2.2. Best practices for limited live migration to the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin For a list of best practices when migrating to the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin with the limited live migration method, see Limited Live Migration from OpenShift SDN to OVN-Kubernetes . 26.6.2.3. Considerations for limited live migration to the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin Before using the limited live migration method to the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin, cluster administrators should consider the following information: The limited live migration procedure is unsupported for clusters with OpenShift SDN multitenant mode enabled. Egress router pods block the limited live migration process. They must be removed before beginning the limited live migration process. During the migration, when the cluster is running with both OVN-Kubernetes and OpenShift SDN, multicast and egress IP addresses are temporarily disabled for both CNIs. Egress firewalls remains functional. The migration is intended to be a one-way process. However, for users that want to rollback to OpenShift-SDN, migration from OpenShift-SDN to OVN-Kubernetes must have succeeded. Users can follow the same procedure below to migrate to the OpenShift SDN network plugin from the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin. The limited live migration is not supported on HyperShift clusters. OpenShift SDN does not support IPsec. After the migration, cluster administrators can enable IPsec. OpenShift SDN does not support IPv6. After the migration, cluster administrators can enable dual-stack. The OpenShift SDN plugin allows application of the NodeNetworkConfigurationPolicy (NNCP) custom resource (CR) to the primary interface on a node. The OVN-Kubernetes network plugin does not have this capability. The cluster MTU is the MTU value for pod interfaces. It is always less than your hardware MTU to account for the cluster network overlay overhead. The overhead is 100 bytes for OVN-Kubernetes and 50 bytes for OpenShift SDN. During the limited live migration, both OVN-Kubernetes and OpenShift SDN run in parallel. OVN-Kubernetes manages the cluster network of some nodes, while OpenShift SDN manages the cluster network of others. To ensure that cross-CNI traffic remains functional, the Cluster Network Operator updates the routable MTU to ensure that both CNIs share the same overlay MTU. As a result, after the migration has completed, the cluster MTU is 50 bytes less. Some parameters of OVN-Kubernetes cannot be changed after installation. The following parameters can be set only before starting the limited live migration: InternalTransitSwitchSubnet internalJoinSubnet OVN-Kubernetes reserves the 100.64.0.0/16 and 100.88.0.0/16 IP address ranges. These subnets cannot be overlapped with any other internal or external network. If these IP addresses have been used by OpenShift SDN or any external networks that might communicate with this cluster, you must patch them to use a different IP address range before starting the limited live migration. See "Patching OVN-Kubernetes address ranges" for more information. In most cases, the limited live migration is independent of the secondary interfaces of pods created by the Multus CNI plugin. However, if these secondary interfaces were set up on the default network interface controller (NIC) of the host, for example, using MACVLAN, IPVLAN, SR-IOV, or bridge interfaces with the default NIC as the control node, OVN-Kubernetes might encounter malfunctions. Users should remove such configurations before proceeding with the limited live migration. When there are multiple NICs inside of the host, and the default route is not on the interface that has the Kubernetes NodeIP, you must use the offline migration instead. All DaemonSet objects in the openshift-sdn namespace, which are not managed by the Cluster Network Operator (CNO), must be removed before initiating the limited live migration. These unmanaged daemon sets can cause the migration status to remain incomplete if not properly handled. If you run an Operator or you have configured any application with the pod disruption budget, you might experience an interruption during the update process. If minAvailable is set to 1 in PodDisruptionBudget , the nodes are drained to apply pending machine configs which might block the eviction process. If several nodes are rebooted, all the pods might run on only one node, and the PodDisruptionBudget field can prevent the node drain. 26.6.2.4. How the limited live migration process works The following table summarizes the limited live migration process by segmenting between the user-initiated steps in the process and the actions that the migration script performs in response. Table 26.10. Limited live migration to OVNKubernetes from OpenShiftSDN User-initiated steps Migration activity Patch the cluster-level networking configuration by changing the networkType from OpenShiftSDN to OVNKubernetes . Cluster Network Operator (CNO) Sets migration related fields in the network.operator custom resource (CR) and waits for routable MTUs to be applied to all nodes. Patches the network.operator CR to set the migration mode to Live for OVN-Kubernetes and deploys the OpenShift SDN network plugin in migration mode. Deploys OVN-Kubernetes with hybrid overlay enabled, ensuring that no racing conditions occur. Waits for the OVN-Kubernetes deployment and updates the conditions in the status of the network.config CR. Triggers the Machine Config Operator (MCO) to apply the new machine config to each machine config pool, which includes node cordoning, draining, and rebooting. OVN-Kubernetes adds nodes to the appropriate zones and recreates pods using OVN-Kubernetes as the default CNI plugin. Removes migration-related fields from the network.operator CR and performs cleanup actions, such as deleting OpenShift SDN resources and redeploying OVN-Kubernetes in normal mode with the necessary configurations. Waits for the OVN-Kubernetes redeployment and updates the status conditions in the network.config CR to indicate migration completion. If your migration is blocked, see "Checking limited live migration metrics" for information on troubleshooting the issue. 26.6.2.5. Migrating to the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin by using the limited live migration method Migrating to the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin by using the limited live migration method is a multiple step process that requires users to check the behavior of egress IP resources, egress firewall resources, and multicast enabled namespaces. Administrators must also review any network policies in their deployment and remove egress router resources before initiating the limited live migration process. The following procedures should be used in succession. 26.6.2.5.1. Checking cluster resources before initiating the limited live migration Before migrating to OVN-Kubernetes by using the limited live migration, you should check for egress IP resources, egress firewall resources, and multicast-enabled namespaces on your OpenShift SDN deployment. You should also review any network policies in your deployment. If you find that your cluster has these resources before migration, you should check their behavior after migration to ensure that they are working as intended. The following procedure shows you how to check for egress IP resources, egress firewall resources, multicast-enabled namespaces, network policies, and an NNCP. No action is necessary after checking for these resources. Prerequisites You have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role. Procedure As an OpenShift Container Platform cluster administrator, check for egress firewall resources. You can do this by using the oc CLI, or by using the OpenShift Container Platform web console. To check for egress firewall resource by using the oc CLI tool: To check for egress firewall resources, enter the following command: USD oc get egressnetworkpolicies.network.openshift.io -A Example output NAMESPACE NAME AGE <namespace> <example_egressfirewall> 5d You can check the intended behavior of an egress firewall resource by using the -o yaml flag. For example: USD oc get egressnetworkpolicy <example_egressfirewall> -n <namespace> -o yaml Example output apiVersion: network.openshift.io/v1 kind: EgressNetworkPolicy metadata: name: <example_egress_policy> namespace: <namespace> spec: egress: - type: Allow to: cidrSelector: 0.0.0.0/0 - type: Deny to: cidrSelector: 10.0.0.0/8 To check for egress firewall resources by using the OpenShift Container Platform web console: On the OpenShift Container Platform web console, click Observe Metrics . In the Expression box, type sdn_controller_num_egress_firewalls and click Run queries . If you have egress firewall resources, they are returned in the Expression box. Check your cluster for egress IP resources. You can do this by using the oc CLI, or by using the OpenShift Container Platform web console. To check for egress IPs by using the oc CLI tool: To list namespaces with egress IP resources, enter the following command USD oc get netnamespace -A | awk 'USD3 != ""' Example output NAME NETID EGRESS IPS namespace1 14173093 ["10.0.158.173"] namespace2 14173020 ["10.0.158.173"] To check for egress IPs by using the OpenShift Container Platform web console: On the OpenShift Container Platform web console, click Observe Metrics . In the Expression box, type sdn_controller_num_egress_ips and click Run queries . If you have egress firewall resources, they are returned in the Expression box. Check your cluster for multicast enabled namespaces. You can do this by using the oc CLI, or by using the OpenShift Container Platform web console. To check for multicast enabled namespaces by using the oc CLI tool: To locate namespaces with multicast enabled, enter the following command: USD oc get netnamespace -o json | jq -r '.items[] | select(.metadata.annotations."netnamespace.network.openshift.io/multicast-enabled" == "true") | .metadata.name' Example output namespace1 namespace3 To check for multicast enabled namespaces by using the OpenShift Container Platform web console: On the OpenShift Container Platform web console, click Observe Metrics . In the Expression box, type sdn_controller_num_multicast_enabled_namespaces and click Run queries . If you have multicast enabled namespaces, they are returned in the Expression box. Check your cluster for any network policies. You can do this by using the oc CLI. To check for network policies by using the oc CLI tool, enter the following command: USD oc get networkpolicy -n <namespace> Example output NAME POD-SELECTOR AGE allow-multicast app=my-app 11m 26.6.2.5.2. Removing egress router pods before initiating the limited live migration Before initiating the limited live migration, you must check for, and remove, any egress router pods. If there is an egress router pod on the cluster when performing a limited live migration, the Network Operator blocks the migration and returns the following error: The cluster configuration is invalid (network type limited live migration is not supported for pods with `pod.network.openshift.io/assign-macvlan` annotation. Please remove all egress router pods). Use `oc edit network.config.openshift.io cluster` to fix. Prerequisites You have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role. Procedure To locate egress router pods on your cluster, enter the following command: USD oc get pods --all-namespaces -o json | jq '.items[] | select(.metadata.annotations."pod.network.openshift.io/assign-macvlan" == "true") | {name: .metadata.name, namespace: .metadata.namespace}' Example output { "name": "egress-multi", "namespace": "egress-router-project" } Alternatively, you can query metrics on the OpenShift Container Platform web console. On the OpenShift Container Platform web console, click Observe Metrics . In the Expression box, enter network_attachment_definition_instances{networks="egress-router"} . Then, click Add . To remove an egress router pod, enter the following command: USD oc delete pod <egress_pod_name> -n <egress_router_project> 26.6.2.5.3. Initiating the limited live migration process After you have checked the behavior of egress IP resources, egress firewall resources, and multicast enabled namespaces, and removed any egress router resources, you can initiate the limited live migration process. Prerequisites A cluster has been configured with the OpenShift SDN CNI network plugin in the network policy isolation mode. You have installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role. You have created a recent backup of the etcd database. The cluster is in a known good state without any errors. Before migration to OVN-Kubernetes, a security group rule must be in place to allow UDP packets on port 6081 for all nodes on all cloud platforms. If the 100.64.0.0/16 and 100.88.0.0/16 address ranges were previously in use by OpenShift-SDN, you have patched them. The first step of this procedure checks whether these address ranges are in use. If they are in use, see "Patching OVN-Kubernetes address ranges". You have checked for egress IP resources, egress firewall resources, and multicast enabled namespaces. You have removed any egress router pods before beginning the limited live migration. For more information about egress router pods, see "Deploying an egress router pod in redirect mode". You have reviewed the "Considerations for limited live migration to the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin" section of this document. Procedure To patch the cluster-level networking configuration and initiate the migration from OpenShift SDN to OVN-Kubernetes, enter the following command: USD oc patch Network.config.openshift.io cluster --type='merge' --patch '{"metadata":{"annotations":{"network.openshift.io/network-type-migration":""}},"spec":{"networkType":"OVNKubernetes"}}' After running this command, the migration process begins. During this process, the Machine Config Operator reboots the nodes in your cluster twice. The migration takes approximately twice as long as a cluster upgrade. Important This oc patch command checks for overlapping CIDRs in use by OpenShift SDN. If overlapping CIDRs are detected, you must patch them before the limited live migration process can start. For more information, see "Patching OVN-Kubernetes address ranges". Optional: To ensure that the migration process has completed, and to check the status of the network.config , you can enter the following commands: USD oc get network.config.openshift.io cluster -o jsonpath='{.status.networkType}' USD oc get network.config cluster -o=jsonpath='{.status.conditions}' | jq . You can check limited live migration metrics for troubleshooting issues. For more information, see "Checking limited live migration metrics". 26.6.2.5.4. Patching OVN-Kubernetes address ranges OVN-Kubernetes reserves the following IP address ranges: 100.64.0.0/16 . This IP address range is used for the internalJoinSubnet parameter of OVN-Kubernetes by default. 100.88.0.0/16 . This IP address range is used for the internalTransSwitchSubnet parameter of OVN-Kubernetes by default. If these IP addresses have been used by OpenShift SDN or any external networks that might communicate with this cluster, you must patch them to use a different IP address range before initiating the limited live migration. The following procedure can be used to patch CIDR ranges that are in use by OpenShift SDN if the migration was initially blocked. Note This is an optional procedure and must only be used if the migration was blocked after using the oc patch Network.config.openshift.io cluster --type='merge' --patch '{"metadata":{"annotations":{"network.openshift.io/network-type-migration":""}},"spec":{"networkType":"OVNKubernetes"}}' command "Initiating the limited live migration process". Prerequisites You have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role. Procedure If the 100.64.0.0/16 IP address range is already in use, enter the following command to patch it to a different range. The following example uses 100.63.0.0/16 . USD oc patch network.operator.openshift.io cluster --type='merge' -p='{"spec":{"defaultNetwork":{"ovnKubernetesConfig":{"ipv4":{"internalJoinSubnet": "100.63.0.0/16"}}}}}' If the 100.88.0.0/16 IP address range is already in use, enter the following command to patch it to a different range. The following example uses 100.99.0.0/16 . USD oc patch network.operator.openshift.io cluster --type='merge' -p='{"spec":{"defaultNetwork":{"ovnKubernetesConfig":{"ipv4":{"internalTransitSwitchSubnet": "100.99.0.0/16"}}}}}' After patching the 100.64.0.0/16 and 100.88.0.0/16 IP address ranges, you can initiate the limited live migration. 26.6.2.5.5. Checking cluster resources after initiating the limited live migration The following procedure shows you how to check for egress IP resources, egress firewall resources, multicast enabled namespaces, and network policies when your deploying is using OVN-Kubernetes. If you had these resources on OpenShift SDN, you should check them after migration to ensure that they are working properly. Prerequisites You have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role. You have successfully migrated from OpenShift SDN to OVN-Kubernetes by using the limited live migration. Procedure As an OpenShift Container Platform cluster administrator, check for egress firewall resources. You can do this by using the oc CLI, or by using the OpenShift Container Platform web console. To check for egress firewall resource by using the oc CLI tool: To check for egress firewall resources, enter the following command: USD oc get egressfirewalls.k8s.ovn.org -A Example output NAMESPACE NAME AGE <namespace> <example_egressfirewall> 5d You can check the intended behavior of an egress firewall resource by using the -o yaml flag. For example: USD oc get egressfirewall <example_egressfirewall> -n <namespace> -o yaml Example output apiVersion: k8s.ovn.org/v1 kind: EgressFirewall metadata: name: <example_egress_policy> namespace: <namespace> spec: egress: - type: Allow to: cidrSelector: 192.168.0.0/16 - type: Deny to: cidrSelector: 0.0.0.0/0 Ensure that the behavior of this resource is intended because it could have changed after migration. For more information about egress firewalls, see "Configuring an egress firewall for a project". To check for egress firewall resources by using the OpenShift Container Platform web console: On the OpenShift Container Platform web console, click Observe Metrics . In the Expression box, type ovnkube_controller_num_egress_firewall_rules and click Run queries . If you have egress firewall resources, they are returned in the Expression box. Check your cluster for egress IP resources. You can do this by using the oc CLI, or by using the OpenShift Container Platform web console.

The table in "Information about limited live migration metrics" shows you the available metrics and the label values populated from the openshift_network_operator_live_migration_condition expression. Use this information to monitor progress or to troubleshoot the migration. 26.6.2.6.1. Information about limited live migration metrics The following table shows you the available metrics and the label values populated from the openshift_network_operator_live_migration_condition expression. Use this information to monitor progress or to troubleshoot the migration. Table 26.11. Limited live migration metrics Metric Label values openshift_network_operator_live_migration_blocked: A Prometheus gauge vector metric. A metric that contains a constant 1 value labeled with the reason that the CNI limited live migration might not have started. This metric is available when the CNI limited live migration has started by annotating the Network custom resource. This metric is not published unless the limited live migration is blocked. The list of label values includes the following UnsupportedCNI : Unable to migrate to the unsupported target CNI. Valid CNI is OVNKubernetes when migrating from OpenShift SDN. UnsupportedHyperShiftCluster : Limited live migration is unsupported within an HCP cluster. UnsupportedSDNNetworkIsolationMode : OpenShift SDN is configured with an unsupported network isolation mode Multitenant . Migrate to a supported network isolation mode before performing limited live migration. UnsupportedMACVLANInterface : Remove the egress router or any pods which contain the pod annotation pod.network.openshift.io/assign-macvlan . Find the offending pod's namespace or pod name with the following command: oc get pods -Ao=jsonpath='{range .items[?(@.metadata.annotations.pod\.network\.openshift\.io/assign-macvlan=="")]}{@.metadata.namespace}{"\t"}{@.metadata.name}{"\n"}' . openshift_network_operator_live_migration_condition: A metric which represents the status of each condition type for the CNI limited live migration. The set of status condition types is defined for network.config to support observability of the CNI limited live migration. A 1 value represents condition status true . A 0 value represents false . -1 represents unknown. This metric is available when the CNI limited live migration has started by annotating the Network custom resource (CR). This metric is only available when the limited live migration has been triggered by adding the relevant annotation to the Network CR cluster, otherwise, it is not published. If the following condition types are not present within the Network CR cluster, the metric and their labels are cleared. The list of label values includes the following NetworkTypeMigrationInProgress NetworkTypeMigrationTargetCNIAvailable NetworkTypeMigrationTargetCNIInUse NetworkTypeMigrationOriginalCNIPurged NetworkTypeMigrationMTUReady 26.6.3.

Rolling back to the OpenShift SDN network provider As a cluster administrator, you can roll back to the OpenShift SDN network plugin from the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin using either the offline migration method, or the limited live migration method. This can only be done after the migration to the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin has successfully completed. Note If you used the offline migration method to migrate to the OpenShift SDN network plugin from the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin, you should use the offline migration rollback method. If you used the limited live migration method to migrate to the OpenShift SDN network plugin from the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin, you should use the limited live migration rollback method. Note OpenShift SDN CNI is deprecated as of OpenShift Container Platform 4.14. As of OpenShift Container Platform 4.15, the network plugin is not an option for new installations. In a subsequent future release, the OpenShift SDN network plugin is planned to be removed and no longer supported. Red Hat will provide bug fixes and support for this feature until it is removed, but this feature will no longer receive enhancements. As an alternative to OpenShift SDN CNI, you can use OVN Kubernetes CNI instead. 26.7.1. Using the offline migration method to roll back to the OpenShift SDN network plugin Cluster administrators can roll back to the OpenShift SDN Container Network Interface (CNI) network plugin by using the offline migration method. During the migration you must manually reboot every node in your cluster. With the offline migration method, there is some downtime, during which your cluster is unreachable. Important You must wait until the migration process from OpenShift SDN to OVN-Kubernetes network plugin is successful before initiating a rollback. If a rollback to OpenShift SDN is required, the following table describes the process. Table 26.12. Performing a rollback to OpenShift SDN User-initiated steps Migration activity Suspend the MCO to ensure that it does not interrupt the migration. The MCO stops. Set the migration field of the Network.operator.openshift.io custom resource (CR) named cluster to OpenShiftSDN . Make sure the migration field is null before setting it to a value. CNO Updates the status of the Network.config.openshift.io CR named cluster accordingly. Update the networkType field. CNO Performs the following actions: Destroys the OVN-Kubernetes control plane pods. Deploys the OpenShift SDN control plane pods. Updates the Multus objects to reflect the new network plugin. Reboot each node in the cluster. Cluster As nodes reboot, the cluster assigns IP addresses to pods on the OpenShift-SDN network. Enable the MCO after all nodes in the cluster reboot. MCO Rolls out an update to the systemd configuration necessary for OpenShift SDN; the MCO updates a single machine per pool at a time by default, so the total time the migration takes increases with the size of the cluster. Prerequisites The OpenShift CLI ( oc ) is installed. Access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role is available. The cluster is installed on infrastructure configured with the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin. A recent backup of the etcd database is available. A manual reboot can be triggered for each node. The cluster is in a known good state, without any errors. Procedure Stop all of the machine configuration pools managed by the Machine Config Operator (MCO): Stop the master configuration pool by entering the following command in your CLI: USD oc patch MachineConfigPool master --type='merge' --patch \ '{ "spec": { "paused": true } }' Stop the worker machine configuration pool by entering the following command in your CLI: USD oc patch MachineConfigPool worker --type='merge' --patch \ '{ "spec":{ "paused": true } }' To prepare for the migration, set the migration field to null by entering the following command in your CLI: USD oc patch Network.operator.openshift.io cluster --type='merge' \ --patch '{ "spec": { "migration": null } }' Check that the migration status is empty for the Network.config.openshift.io object by entering the following command in your CLI. Empty command output indicates that the object is not in a migration operation. USD oc get Network.config cluster -o jsonpath='{.status.migration}' Apply the patch to the Network.operator.openshift.io object to set the network plugin back to OpenShift SDN by entering the following command in your CLI: USD oc patch Network.operator.openshift.io cluster --type='merge' \ --patch '{ "spec": { "migration": { "networkType": "OpenShiftSDN" } } }' Important If you applied the patch to the Network.config.openshift.io object before the patch operation finalizes on the Network.operator.openshift.io object, the Cluster Network Operator (CNO) enters into a degradation state and this causes a slight delay until the CNO recovers from the degraded state. Confirm that the migration status of the network plugin for the Network.config.openshift.io cluster object is OpenShiftSDN by entering the following command in your CLI: USD oc get Network.config cluster -o jsonpath='{.status.migration.networkType}' Apply the patch to the Network.config.openshift.io object to set the network plugin back to OpenShift SDN by entering the following command in your CLI: USD oc patch Network.config.openshift.io cluster --type='merge' \ --patch '{ "spec": { "networkType": "OpenShiftSDN" } }' Optional: Disable automatic migration of several OVN-Kubernetes capabilities to the OpenShift SDN equivalents: Egress IPs Egress firewall Multicast To disable automatic migration of the configuration for any of the previously noted OpenShift SDN features, specify the following keys: USD oc patch Network.operator.openshift.io cluster --type='merge' \ --patch '{ "spec": { "migration": { "networkType": "OpenShiftSDN", "features": { "egressIP": <bool>, "egressFirewall": <bool>, "multicast": <bool> } } } }' where: bool : Specifies whether to enable migration of the feature. The default is true . Optional: You can customize the following settings for OpenShift SDN to meet your network infrastructure requirements: Maximum transmission unit (MTU) VXLAN port To customize either or both of the previously noted settings, customize and enter the following command in your CLI. If you do not need to change the default value, omit the key from the patch. USD oc patch Network.operator.openshift.io cluster --type=merge \ --patch '{ "spec":{ "defaultNetwork":{ "openshiftSDNConfig":{ "mtu":<mtu>, "vxlanPort":<port> }}}}' mtu The MTU for the VXLAN overlay network. This value is normally configured automatically, but if the nodes in your cluster do not all use the same MTU, then you must set this explicitly to 50 less than the smallest node MTU value. port The UDP port for the VXLAN overlay network. If a value is not specified, the default is 4789 . The port cannot be the same as the Geneve port that is used by OVN-Kubernetes. The default value for the Geneve port is 6081 . Example patch command USD oc patch Network.operator.openshift.io cluster --type=merge \ --patch '{ "spec":{ "defaultNetwork":{ "openshiftSDNConfig":{ "mtu":1200 }}}}' Reboot each node in your cluster. You can reboot the nodes in your cluster with either of the following approaches: With the oc rsh command, you can use a bash script similar to the following: #!/bin/bash readarray -t POD_NODES <<< "USD(oc get pod -n openshift-machine-config-operator -o wide| grep daemon|awk '{print USD1" "USD7}')" for i in "USD{POD_NODES[@]}" do read -r POD NODE <<< "USDi" until oc rsh -n openshift-machine-config-operator "USDPOD" chroot /rootfs shutdown -r +1 do echo "cannot reboot node USDNODE, retry" && sleep 3 done done With the ssh command, you can use a bash script similar to the following. The script assumes that you have configured sudo to not prompt for a password. #!/bin/bash for ip in USD(oc get nodes -o jsonpath='{.items[*].status.addresses[?(@.type=="InternalIP")].address}') do echo "reboot node USDip" ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no core@USDip sudo shutdown -r -t 3 done Wait until the Multus daemon set rollout completes. Run the following command to see your rollout status: USD oc -n openshift-multus rollout status daemonset/multus The name of the Multus pods is in the form of multus-<xxxxx> where <xxxxx> is a random sequence of letters. It might take several moments for the pods to restart. Example output Waiting for daemon set "multus" rollout to finish: 1 out of 6 new pods have been updated... ... Waiting for daemon set "multus" rollout to finish: 5 of 6 updated pods are available... daemon set "multus" successfully rolled out After the nodes in your cluster have rebooted and the multus pods are rolled out, start all of the machine configuration pools by running the following commands:: Start the master configuration pool: USD oc patch MachineConfigPool master --type='merge' --patch \ '{ "spec": { "paused": false } }' Start the worker configuration pool: USD oc patch MachineConfigPool worker --type='merge' --patch \ '{ "spec": { "paused": false } }' As the MCO updates machines in each config pool, it reboots each node. By default the MCO updates a single machine per pool at a time, so the time that the migration requires to complete grows with the size of the cluster. Confirm the status of the new machine configuration on the hosts: To list the machine configuration state and the name of the applied machine configuration, enter the following command in your CLI: USD oc describe node | egrep "hostname|machineconfig" Example output kubernetes.io/hostname=master-0 machineconfiguration.openshift.io/currentConfig: rendered-master-c53e221d9d24e1c8bb6ee89dd3d8ad7b machineconfiguration.openshift.io/desiredConfig: rendered-master-c53e221d9d24e1c8bb6ee89dd3d8ad7b machineconfiguration.openshift.io/reason: machineconfiguration.openshift.io/state: Done Verify that the following statements are true: The value of machineconfiguration.openshift.io/state field is Done . The value of the machineconfiguration.openshift.io/currentConfig field is equal to the value of the machineconfiguration.openshift.io/desiredConfig field. To confirm that the machine config is correct, enter the following command in your CLI: USD oc get machineconfig <config_name> -o yaml where <config_name> is the name of the machine config from the machineconfiguration.openshift.io/currentConfig field. Confirm that the migration succeeded: To confirm that the network plugin is OpenShift SDN, enter the following command in your CLI. The value of status.networkType must be OpenShiftSDN . USD oc get Network.config/cluster -o jsonpath='{.status.networkType}{"\n"}' To confirm that the cluster nodes are in the Ready state, enter the following command in your CLI: USD oc get nodes If a node is stuck in the NotReady state, investigate the machine config daemon pod logs and resolve any errors. To list the pods, enter the following command in your CLI: USD oc get pod -n openshift-machine-config-operator Example output NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE machine-config-controller-75f756f89d-sjp8b 1/1 Running 0 37m machine-config-daemon-5cf4b 2/2 Running 0 43h machine-config-daemon-7wzcd 2/2 Running 0 43h machine-config-daemon-fc946 2/2 Running 0 43h machine-config-daemon-g2v28 2/2 Running 0 43h machine-config-daemon-gcl4f 2/2 Running 0 43h machine-config-daemon-l5tnv 2/2 Running 0 43h machine-config-operator-79d9c55d5-hth92 1/1 Running 0 37m machine-config-server-bsc8h 1/1 Running 0 43h machine-config-server-hklrm 1/1 Running 0 43h machine-config-server-k9rtx 1/1 Running 0 43h The names for the config daemon pods are in the following format: machine-config-daemon-<seq> . The <seq> value is a random five character alphanumeric sequence. To display the pod log for each machine config daemon pod shown in the output, enter the following command in your CLI: USD oc logs <pod> -n openshift-machine-config-operator where pod is the name of a machine config daemon pod. Resolve any errors in the logs shown by the output from the command. To confirm that your pods are not in an error state, enter the following command in your CLI: USD oc get pods --all-namespaces -o wide --sort-by='{.spec.nodeName}' If pods on a node are in an error state, reboot that node. Complete the following steps only if the migration succeeds and your cluster is in a good state: To remove the migration configuration from the Cluster Network Operator configuration object, enter the following command in your CLI: USD oc patch Network.operator.openshift.io cluster --type='merge' \ --patch '{ "spec": { "migration": null } }' To remove the OVN-Kubernetes configuration, enter the following command in your CLI: USD oc patch Network.operator.openshift.io cluster --type='merge' \ --patch '{ "spec": { "defaultNetwork": { "ovnKubernetesConfig":null } } }' To remove the OVN-Kubernetes network provider namespace, enter the following command in your CLI: USD oc delete namespace openshift-ovn-kubernetes 26.7.2. Using the limited live migration method to roll back to the OpenShift SDN network plugin As a cluster administrator, you can roll back to the OpenShift SDN Container Network Interface (CNI) network plugin by using the limited live migration method. During the migration with this method, nodes are automatically rebooted and service to the cluster is not interrupted. Important You must wait until the migration process from OpenShift SDN to OVN-Kubernetes network plugin is successful before initiating a rollback. If a rollback to OpenShift SDN is required, the following table describes the process. Table 26.13. Performing a rollback to OpenShift SDN User-initiated steps Migration activity Patch the cluster-level networking configuration by changing the networkType from OVNKubernetes to OpenShiftSDN . Cluster Network Operator (CNO) Performs the following actions: Sets migration related fields in the network.operator custom resource (CR) and waits for routable MTUs to be applied to all nodes by the Machine Config Operator (MCO). Patches the network.operator CR to set the migration mode to Live for OpenShiftSDN and deploys the OpenShiftSDN network plugin in migration mode. Deploys OVN-Kubernetes with hybrid overlay enabled. Waits for both CNI plugins to be deployed and updates the conditions in the status of the network.config CR. Triggers the MCO to apply the new machine config to each machine config pool, which includes node cordoning, draining, and rebooting. Removes migration-related fields from the network.operator CR and performs cleanup actions, such as deleting OpenShift SDN resources and redeploying OVN-Kubernetes in normal mode with the necessary configurations. Waits for the OpenShiftSDN redeployment and updates the status conditions in the network.config CR to indicate migration completion. Prerequisites The OpenShift CLI ( oc ) is installed. Access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role is available. The cluster is installed on infrastructure configured with the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin. A recent backup of the etcd database is available. A manual reboot can be triggered for each node. The cluster is in a known good state, without any errors. Procedure To initiate the rollback to OpenShift SDN, enter the following command: USD oc patch Network.config.openshift.io cluster --type='merge' --patch '{"metadata":{"annotations":{"network.openshift.io/network-type-migration":""}},"spec":{"networkType":"OpenShiftSDN"}}' To watch the progress of your migration, enter the following command: USD watch -n1 'oc get network.config/cluster -o json | jq ".status.conditions[]|\"\\(.type) \\(.status) \\(.reason) \\(.message)\"" -r | column --table --table-columns NAME,STATUS,REASON,MESSAGE --table-columns-limit 4; echo; oc get mcp -o wide; echo; oc get node -o "custom-columns=NAME:metadata.name,STATE:metadata.annotations.machineconfiguration\\.openshift\\.io/state,DESIRED:metadata.annotations.machineconfiguration\\.openshift\\.io/desiredConfig,CURRENT:metadata.annotations.machineconfiguration\\.openshift\\.io/currentConfig,REASON:metadata.annotations.machineconfiguration\\.openshift\\.io/reason"' The command prints the following information every second: The conditions on the status of the network.config.openshift.io/cluster object, reporting the progress of the migration. The status of different nodes with respect to the machine-config-operator resource, including whether they are upgrading or have been upgraded, as well as their current and desired configurations. Complete the following steps only if the migration succeeds and your cluster is in a good state: Remove the network.openshift.io/network-type-migration= annotation from the network.config custom resource by entering the following command: USD oc annotate network.config cluster network.openshift.io/network-type-migration- Remove the OVN-Kubernetes network provider namespace by entering the following command: USD oc delete namespace openshift-ovn-kubernetes 26.8. Converting to IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack networking As a cluster administrator, you can convert your IPv4 single-stack cluster to a dual-network cluster network that supports IPv4 and IPv6 address families. After converting to dual-stack, all newly created pods are dual-stack enabled. Note While using dual-stack networking, you cannot use IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses, such as ::FFFF:198.51.100.1 , where IPv6 is required. A dual-stack network is supported on clusters provisioned on bare metal, IBM Power(R), IBM Z(R) infrastructure, single-node OpenShift, and VMware vSphere. 26.8.1. Converting to a dual-stack cluster network As a cluster administrator, you can convert your single-stack cluster network to a dual-stack cluster network. Note After converting to dual-stack networking only newly created pods are assigned IPv6 addresses. Any pods created before the conversion must be recreated to receive an IPv6 address. Prerequisites You installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You are logged in to the cluster with a user with cluster-admin privileges. Your cluster uses the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin. The cluster nodes have IPv6 addresses. You have configured an IPv6-enabled router based on your infrastructure. Procedure To specify IPv6 address blocks for the cluster and service networks, create a file containing the following YAML: - op: add path: /spec/clusterNetwork/- value: 1 cidr: fd01::/48 hostPrefix: 64 - op: add path: /spec/serviceNetwork/- value: fd02::/112 2 1 Specify an object with the cidr and hostPrefix fields. The host prefix must be 64 or greater. The IPv6 CIDR prefix must be large enough to accommodate the specified host prefix. 2 Specify an IPv6 CIDR with a prefix of 112 . Kubernetes uses only the lowest 16 bits. For a prefix of 112 , IP addresses are assigned from 112 to 128 bits. To patch the cluster network configuration, enter the following command: USD oc patch network.config.openshift.io cluster \ --type='json' --patch-file <file>.yaml where: file Specifies the name of the file you created in the step. Example output network.config.openshift.io/cluster patched Verification Complete the following step to verify that the cluster network recognizes the IPv6 address blocks that you specified in the procedure. Display the network configuration: USD oc describe network Example output Status: Cluster Network: Cidr: 10.128.0.0/14 Host Prefix: 23 Cidr: fd01::/48 Host Prefix: 64 Cluster Network MTU: 1400 Network Type: OVNKubernetes Service Network: 172.30.0.0/16 fd02::/112 26.8.2. Converting to a single-stack cluster network As a cluster administrator, you can convert your dual-stack cluster network to a single-stack cluster network. Prerequisites You installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You are logged in to the cluster with a user with cluster-admin privileges. Your cluster uses the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin. The cluster nodes have IPv6 addresses. You have enabled dual-stack networking. Procedure Edit the networks.config.openshift.io custom resource (CR) by running the following command: USD oc edit networks.config.openshift.io Remove the IPv6 specific configuration that you have added to the cidr and hostPrefix fields in the procedure. 26.9. Configuring OVN-Kubernetes internal IP address subnets As a cluster administrator, you can change the IP address ranges that the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin uses for the join and transit subnets. 26.9.1. Configuring the OVN-Kubernetes join subnet You can change the join subnet used by OVN-Kubernetes to avoid conflicting with any existing subnets already in use in your environment. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Log in to the cluster with a user with cluster-admin privileges. Ensure that the cluster uses the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin. Procedure To change the OVN-Kubernetes join subnet, enter the following command: USD oc patch network.operator.openshift.io cluster --type='merge' \ -p='{"spec":{"defaultNetwork":{"ovnKubernetesConfig": {"ipv4":{"internalJoinSubnet": "<join_subnet>"}, "ipv6":{"internalJoinSubnet": "<join_subnet>"}}}}}' where: <join_subnet> Specifies an IP address subnet for internal use by OVN-Kubernetes. The subnet must be larger than the number of nodes in the cluster and it must be large enough to accommodate one IP address per node in the cluster. This subnet cannot overlap with any other subnets used by OpenShift Container Platform or on the host itself. The default value for IPv4 is 100.64.0.0/16 and the default value for IPv6 is fd98::/64 . Example output network.operator.openshift.io/cluster patched Verification To confirm that the configuration is active, enter the following command: USD oc get network.operator.openshift.io \ -o jsonpath="{.items[0].spec.defaultNetwork}" It can take up to 30 minutes for this change to take effect. Example output 26.9.2. Configuring the OVN-Kubernetes transit subnet You can change the transit subnet used by OVN-Kubernetes to avoid conflicting with any existing subnets already in use in your environment. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Log in to the cluster with a user with cluster-admin privileges. Ensure that the cluster uses the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin. Procedure To change the OVN-Kubernetes transit subnet, enter the following command: USD oc patch network.operator.openshift.io cluster --type='merge' \ -p='{"spec":{"defaultNetwork":{"ovnKubernetesConfig": {"ipv4":{"internalTransitSwitchSubnet": "<transit_subnet>"}, "ipv6":{"internalTransitSwitchSubnet": "<transit_subnet>"}}}}}' where: <transit_subnet> Specifies an IP address subnet for the distributed transit switch that enables east-west traffic. This subnet cannot overlap with any other subnets used by OVN-Kubernetes or on the host itself. The default value for IPv4 is 100.88.0.0/16 and the default value for IPv6 is fd97::/64 .

Example output 26.10. Logging for egress firewall and network policy rules As a cluster administrator, you can configure audit logging for your cluster and enable logging for one or more namespaces. OpenShift Container Platform produces audit logs for both egress firewalls and network policies. Note Audit logging is available for only the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin . 26.10.1. Audit logging The OVN-Kubernetes network plugin uses Open Virtual Network (OVN) ACLs to manage egress firewalls and network policies. Audit logging exposes allow and deny ACL events. You can configure the destination for audit logs, such as a syslog server or a UNIX domain socket. Regardless of any additional configuration, an audit log is always saved to /var/log/ovn/acl-audit-log.log on each OVN-Kubernetes pod in the cluster. You can enable audit logging for each namespace by annotating each namespace configuration with a k8s.ovn.org/acl-logging section. In the k8s.ovn.org/acl-logging section, you must specify allow , deny , or both values to enable audit logging for a namespace. Note A network policy does not support setting the Pass action set as a rule. The ACL-logging implementation logs access control list (ACL) events for a network. You can view these logs to analyze any potential security issues. Example namespace annotation kind: Namespace apiVersion: v1 metadata: name: example1 annotations: k8s.ovn.org/acl-logging: |- { "deny": "info", "allow": "info" } To view the default ACL logging configuration values, see the policyAuditConfig object in the cluster-network-03-config.yml file. If required, you can change the ACL logging configuration values for log file parameters in this file. The logging message format is compatible with syslog as defined by RFC5424. The syslog facility is configurable and defaults to local0 . The following example shows key parameters and their values outputted in a log message: Example logging message that outputs parameters and their values <timestamp>|<message_serial>|acl_log(ovn_pinctrl0)|<severity>|name="<acl_name>", verdict="<verdict>", severity="<severity>", direction="<direction>": <flow> Where: <timestamp> states the time and date for the creation of a log message. <message_serial> lists the serial number for a log message. acl_log(ovn_pinctrl0) is a literal string that prints the location of the log message in the OVN-Kubernetes plugin. <severity> sets the severity level for a log message. If you enable audit logging that supports allow and deny tasks then two severity levels show in the log message output. <name> states the name of the ACL-logging implementation in the OVN Network Bridging Database ( nbdb ) that was created by the network policy. <verdict> can be either allow or drop . <direction> can be either to-lport or from-lport to indicate that the policy was applied to traffic going to or away from a pod. <flow> shows packet information in a format equivalent to the OpenFlow protocol. This parameter comprises Open vSwitch (OVS) fields. The following example shows OVS fields that the flow parameter uses to extract packet information from system memory: Example of OVS fields used by the flow parameter to extract packet information <proto>,vlan_tci=0x0000,dl_src=<src_mac>,dl_dst=<source_mac>,nw_src=<source_ip>,nw_dst=<target_ip>,nw_tos=<tos_dscp>,nw_ecn=<tos_ecn>,nw_ttl=<ip_ttl>,nw_frag=<fragment>,tp_src=<tcp_src_port>,tp_dst=<tcp_dst_port>,tcp_flags=<tcp_flags> Where: <proto> states the protocol. Valid values are tcp and udp . vlan_tci=0x0000 states the VLAN header as 0 because a VLAN ID is not set for internal pod network traffic. <src_mac> specifies the source for the Media Access Control (MAC) address. <source_mac> specifies the destination for the MAC address. <source_ip> lists the source IP address <target_ip> lists the target IP address. <tos_dscp> states Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) values to classify and prioritize certain network traffic over other traffic. <tos_ecn> states Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) values that indicate any congested traffic in your network. <ip_ttl> states the Time To Live (TTP) information for an packet. <fragment> specifies what type of IP fragments or IP non-fragments to match. <tcp_src_port> shows the source for the port for TCP and UDP protocols. <tcp_dst_port> lists the destination port for TCP and UDP protocols. <tcp_flags> supports numerous flags such as SYN , ACK , PSH and so on. If you need to set multiple values then each value is separated by a vertical bar ( | ). The UDP protocol does not support this parameter. Note For more information about the field descriptions, go to the OVS manual page for ovs-fields .

The field supports alert , warning , notice , info , or debug values. allow Permits namespace access to any traffic that matches an ACL rule with the allow action. The field supports alert , warning , notice , info , or debug values. pass A pass action applies to an admin network policy's ACL rule. A pass action allows either the network policy in the namespace or the baseline admin network policy rule to evaluate all incoming and outgoing traffic. A network policy does not support a pass action. Additional resources AdminNetworkPolicy 26.10.2.

Additional resources About network policy Configuring an egress firewall for a project 26.11. Configuring IPsec encryption By enabling IPsec, you can encrypt both internal pod-to-pod cluster traffic between nodes and external traffic between pods and IPsec endpoints external to your cluster. All pod-to-pod network traffic between nodes on the OVN-Kubernetes cluster network is encrypted with IPsec in Transport mode . IPsec is disabled by default. You can enable IPsec either during or after installing the cluster. For information about cluster installation, see OpenShift Container Platform installation overview . The following support limitations exist for IPsec on a OpenShift Container Platform cluster: You must disable IPsec before updating to OpenShift Container Platform 4.15. There is a known issue that can cause interruptions in pod-to-pod communication if you update without disabling IPsec. ( OCPBUGS-43323 ) On IBM Cloud(R), IPsec supports only NAT-T. Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) is not supported on this platform. If your cluster uses hosted control planes for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, IPsec is not supported for IPsec encryption of either pod-to-pod or traffic to external hosts. Using ESP hardware offloading on any network interface is not supported if one or more of those interfaces is attached to Open vSwitch (OVS). Enabling IPsec for your cluster triggers the use of IPsec with interfaces attached to OVS. By default, OpenShift Container Platform disables ESP hardware offloading on any interfaces attached to OVS. If you enabled IPsec for network interfaces that are not attached to OVS, a cluster administrator must manually disable ESP hardware offloading on each interface that is not attached to OVS. The following list outlines key tasks in the IPsec documentation: Enable and disable IPsec after cluster installation. Configure IPsec encryption for traffic between the cluster and external hosts. Verify that IPsec encrypts traffic between pods on different nodes. 26.11.1. Modes of operation When using IPsec on your OpenShift Container Platform cluster, you can choose from the following operating modes: Table 26.16. IPsec modes of operation Mode Description Default Disabled No traffic is encrypted. This is the cluster default. Yes Full Pod-to-pod traffic is encrypted as described in "Types of network traffic flows encrypted by pod-to-pod IPsec". Traffic to external nodes may be encrypted after you complete the required configuration steps for IPsec. No External Traffic to external nodes may be encrypted after you complete the required configuration steps for IPsec. No 26.11.2. Prerequisites For IPsec support for encrypting traffic to external hosts, ensure that the following prerequisites are met: The OVN-Kubernetes network plugin must be configured in local gateway mode, where ovnKubernetesConfig.gatewayConfig.routingViaHost=true . The NMState Operator is installed. This Operator is required for specifying the IPsec configuration. For more information, see About the Kubernetes NMState Operator . Note The NMState Operator is supported on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) only for configuring IPsec. The Butane tool ( butane ) is installed. To install Butane, see Installing Butane . These prerequisites are required to add certificates into the host NSS database and to configure IPsec to communicate with external hosts. 26.11.3. Network connectivity requirements when IPsec is enabled You must configure the network connectivity between machines to allow OpenShift Container Platform cluster components to communicate. Each machine must be able to resolve the hostnames of all other machines in the cluster. Table 26.17. Ports used for all-machine to all-machine communications Protocol Port Description UDP 500 IPsec IKE packets 4500 IPsec NAT-T packets ESP N/A IPsec Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) 26.11.4. IPsec encryption for pod-to-pod traffic For IPsec encryption of pod-to-pod traffic, the following sections describe which specific pod-to-pod traffic is encrypted, what kind of encryption protocol is used, and how X.509 certificates are handled. These sections do not apply to IPsec encryption between the cluster and external hosts, which you must configure manually for your specific external network infrastructure. 26.11.4.1. Types of network traffic flows encrypted by pod-to-pod IPsec With IPsec enabled, only the following network traffic flows between pods are encrypted: Traffic between pods on different nodes on the cluster network Traffic from a pod on the host network to a pod on the cluster network The following traffic flows are not encrypted: Traffic between pods on the same node on the cluster network Traffic between pods on the host network Traffic from a pod on the cluster network to a pod on the host network The encrypted and unencrypted flows are illustrated in the following diagram: 26.11.4.2. Encryption protocol and IPsec mode The encrypt cipher used is AES-GCM-16-256 . The integrity check value (ICV) is 16 bytes. The key length is 256 bits. The IPsec mode used is Transport mode , a mode that encrypts end-to-end communication by adding an Encapsulated Security Payload (ESP) header to the IP header of the original packet and encrypts the packet data. OpenShift Container Platform does not currently use or support IPsec Tunnel mode for pod-to-pod communication. 26.11.4.3. Security certificate generation and rotation The Cluster Network Operator (CNO) generates a self-signed X.509 certificate authority (CA) that is used by IPsec for encryption. Certificate signing requests (CSRs) from each node are automatically fulfilled by the CNO. The CA is valid for 10 years. The individual node certificates are valid for 5 years and are automatically rotated after 4 1/2 years elapse. 26.11.5. IPsec encryption for external traffic OpenShift Container Platform supports IPsec encryption for traffic to external hosts with TLS certificates that you must supply. 26.11.5.1. Supported platforms This feature is supported on the following platforms: Bare metal Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) VMware vSphere Important If you have Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) worker nodes, these do not support IPsec encryption for external traffic. If your cluster uses hosted control planes for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, configuring IPsec for encrypting traffic to external hosts is not supported. 26.11.5.2. Limitations Ensure that the following prohibitions are observed: IPv6 configuration is not currently supported by the NMState Operator when configuring IPsec for external traffic. Certificate common names (CN) in the provided certificate bundle must not begin with the ovs_ prefix, because this naming can conflict with pod-to-pod IPsec CN names in the Network Security Services (NSS) database of each node. 26.11.6. Enabling IPsec encryption As a cluster administrator, you can enable pod-to-pod IPsec encryption and IPsec encryption between the cluster and external IPsec endpoints. You can configure IPsec in either of the following modes: Full : Encryption for pod-to-pod and external traffic External : Encryption for external traffic If you need to configure encryption for external traffic in addition to pod-to-pod traffic, you must also complete the "Configuring IPsec encryption for external traffic" procedure. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You are logged in to the cluster as a user with cluster-admin privileges. You have reduced the size of your cluster MTU by 46 bytes to allow for the overhead of the IPsec ESP header. Procedure To enable IPsec encryption, enter the following command: USD oc patch networks.operator.openshift.io cluster --type=merge \ -p '{ "spec":{ "defaultNetwork":{ "ovnKubernetesConfig":{ "ipsecConfig":{ "mode":<mode> }}}}}' where: mode Specify External to encrypt only traffic to external hosts or specify Full to encrypt pod to pod traffic and optionally traffic to external hosts. By default, IPsec is disabled. Optional: If you need to encrypt traffic to external hosts, complete the "Configuring IPsec encryption for external traffic" procedure.

This step does not verify whether IPsec is working between your cluster and external hosts. USD oc -n openshift-ovn-kubernetes rsh ovnkube-node-<XXXXX> ovn-nbctl --no-leader-only get nb_global . ipsec where: <XXXXX> Specifies the random sequence of letters for a pod from the step. Example output true 26.11.7. Configuring IPsec encryption for external traffic As a cluster administrator, to encrypt external traffic with IPsec you must configure IPsec for your network infrastructure, including providing PKCS#12 certificates. Because this procedure uses Butane to create machine configs, you must have the butane command installed. Note After you apply the machine config, the Machine Config Operator reboots affected nodes in your cluster to rollout the new machine config. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You have installed the butane utility on your local computer. You have installed the NMState Operator on the cluster. You are logged in to the cluster as a user with cluster-admin privileges. You have an existing PKCS#12 certificate for the IPsec endpoint and a CA cert in PEM format. You enabled IPsec in either Full or External mode on your cluster. The OVN-Kubernetes network plugin must be configured in local gateway mode, where ovnKubernetesConfig.gatewayConfig.routingViaHost=true . Procedure Create an IPsec configuration with an NMState Operator node network configuration policy. For more information, see Libreswan as an IPsec VPN implementation . To identify the IP address of the cluster node that is the IPsec endpoint, enter the following command: Create a file named ipsec-config.yaml that contains a node network configuration policy for the NMState Operator, such as in the following examples. For an overview about NodeNetworkConfigurationPolicy objects, see The Kubernetes NMState project . Example NMState IPsec transport configuration apiVersion: nmstate.io/v1 kind: NodeNetworkConfigurationPolicy metadata: name: ipsec-config spec: nodeSelector: kubernetes.io/hostname: "<hostname>" 1 desiredState: interfaces: - name: <interface_name> 2 type: ipsec libreswan: left: <cluster_node> 3 leftid: '%fromcert' leftrsasigkey: '%cert' leftcert: left_server leftmodecfgclient: false right: <external_host> 4 rightid: '%fromcert' rightrsasigkey: '%cert' rightsubnet: <external_address>/32 5 ikev2: insist type: transport 1 Specifies the host name to apply the policy to. This host serves as the left side host in the IPsec configuration. 2 Specifies the name of the interface to create on the host. 3 Specifies the host name of the cluster node that terminates the IPsec tunnel on the cluster side. The name should match SAN [Subject Alternate Name] from your supplied PKCS#12 certificates. 4 Specifies the external host name, such as host.example.com . The name should match the SAN [Subject Alternate Name] from your supplied PKCS#12 certificates. 5 Specifies the IP address of the external host, such as 10.1.2.3/32 . Example NMState IPsec tunnel configuration apiVersion: nmstate.io/v1 kind: NodeNetworkConfigurationPolicy metadata: name: ipsec-config spec: nodeSelector: kubernetes.io/hostname: "<hostname>" 1 desiredState: interfaces: - name: <interface_name> 2 type: ipsec libreswan: left: <cluster_node> 3 leftid: '%fromcert' leftmodecfgclient: false leftrsasigkey: '%cert' leftcert: left_server right: <external_host> 4 rightid: '%fromcert' rightrsasigkey: '%cert' rightsubnet: <external_address>/32 5 ikev2: insist type: tunnel 1 Specifies the host name to apply the policy to. This host serves as the left side host in the IPsec configuration. 2 Specifies the name of the interface to create on the host. 3 Specifies the host name of the cluster node that terminates the IPsec tunnel on the cluster side. The name should match SAN [Subject Alternate Name] from your supplied PKCS#12 certificates. 4 Specifies the external host name, such as host.example.com . The name should match the SAN [Subject Alternate Name] from your supplied PKCS#12 certificates. 5 Specifies the IP address of the external host, such as 10.1.2.3/32 . To configure the IPsec interface, enter the following command: USD oc create -f ipsec-config.yaml Provide the following certificate files to add to the Network Security Services (NSS) database on each host. These files are imported as part of the Butane configuration in subsequent steps. left_server.p12 : The certificate bundle for the IPsec endpoints ca.pem : The certificate authority that you signed your certificates with Create a machine config to add your certificates to the cluster: To create Butane config files for the control plane and worker nodes, enter the following command: USD for role in master worker; do cat >> "99-ipsec-USD{role}-endpoint-config.bu" <<-EOF variant: openshift version: 4.15.0 metadata: name: 99-USD{role}-import-certs labels: machineconfiguration.openshift.io/role: USDrole systemd: units: - name: ipsec-import.service enabled: true contents: | [Unit] Description=Import external certs into ipsec NSS Before=ipsec.service [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/ipsec-addcert.sh RemainAfterExit=false StandardOutput=journal [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target storage: files: - path: /etc/pki/certs/ca.pem mode: 0400 overwrite: true contents: local: ca.pem - path: /etc/pki/certs/left_server.p12 mode: 0400 overwrite: true contents: local: left_server.p12 - path: /usr/local/bin/ipsec-addcert.sh mode: 0740 overwrite: true contents: inline: | #!/bin/bash -e echo "importing cert to NSS" certutil -A -n "CA" -t "CT,C,C" -d /var/lib/ipsec/nss/ -i /etc/pki/certs/ca.pem pk12util -W "" -i /etc/pki/certs/left_server.p12 -d /var/lib/ipsec/nss/ certutil -M -n "left_server" -t "u,u,u" -d /var/lib/ipsec/nss/ EOF done To transform the Butane files that you created in the step into machine configs, enter the following command: USD for role in master worker; do butane -d . 99-ipsec-USD{role}-endpoint-config.bu -o ./99-ipsec-USDrole-endpoint-config.yaml done To apply the machine configs to your cluster, enter the following command: USD for role in master worker; do oc apply -f 99-ipsec-USD{role}-endpoint-config.yaml done Important As the Machine Config Operator (MCO) updates machines in each machine config pool, it reboots each node one by one. You must wait until all the nodes are updated before external IPsec connectivity is available. Check the machine config pool status by entering the following command: USD oc get mcp A successfully updated node has the following status: UPDATED=true , UPDATING=false , DEGRADED=false . Note By default, the MCO updates one machine per pool at a time, causing the total time the migration takes to increase with the size of the cluster. To confirm that IPsec machine configs rolled out successfully, enter the following commands: Confirm that the IPsec machine configs were created: USD oc get mc | grep ipsec Example output 80-ipsec-master-extensions 3.2.0 6d15h 80-ipsec-worker-extensions 3.2.0 6d15h Confirm that the that the IPsec extension are applied to control plane nodes: USD oc get mcp master -o yaml | grep 80-ipsec-master-extensions -c Expected output 2 Confirm that the that the IPsec extension are applied to worker nodes: USD oc get mcp worker -o yaml | grep 80-ipsec-worker-extensions -c Expected output 2 Additional resources For more information about the nmstate IPsec API, see IPsec Encryption 26.11.8. Disabling IPsec encryption for an external IPsec endpoint As a cluster administrator, you can remove an existing IPsec tunnel to an external host. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You are logged in to the cluster as a user with cluster-admin privileges. You enabled IPsec in either Full or External mode on your cluster. Procedure Create a file named remove-ipsec-tunnel.yaml with the following YAML: kind: NodeNetworkConfigurationPolicy apiVersion: nmstate.io/v1 metadata: name: <name> spec: nodeSelector: kubernetes.io/hostname: <node_name> desiredState: interfaces: - name: <tunnel_name> type: ipsec state: absent where: name Specifies a name for the node network configuration policy. node_name Specifies the name of the node where the IPsec tunnel that you want to remove exists. tunnel_name Specifies the interface name for the existing IPsec tunnel. To remove the IPsec tunnel, enter the following command: USD oc apply -f remove-ipsec-tunnel.yaml 26.11.9. Disabling IPsec encryption As a cluster administrator, you can disable IPsec encryption. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Log in to the cluster with a user with cluster-admin privileges. Procedure To disable IPsec encryption, enter the following command: USD oc patch networks.operator.openshift.io cluster --type=merge \ -p '{ "spec":{ "defaultNetwork":{ "ovnKubernetesConfig":{ "ipsecConfig":{ "mode":"Disabled" }}}}}' Optional: You can increase the size of your cluster MTU by 46 bytes because there is no longer any overhead from the IPsec ESP header in IP packets. 26.11.10.

Configure an external gateway on the default network As a cluster administrator, you can configure an external gateway on the default network. This feature offers the following benefits: Granular control over egress traffic on a per-namespace basis Flexible configuration of static and dynamic external gateway IP addresses Support for both IPv4 and IPv6 address families 26.12.1. Prerequisites Your cluster uses the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin. Your infrastructure is configured to route traffic from the secondary external gateway. 26.12.2. How OpenShift Container Platform determines the external gateway IP address You configure a secondary external gateway with the AdminPolicyBasedExternalRoute custom resource (CR) from the k8s.ovn.org API group. The CR supports static and dynamic approaches to specifying an external gateway's IP address. Each namespace that a AdminPolicyBasedExternalRoute CR targets cannot be selected by any other AdminPolicyBasedExternalRoute CR. A namespace cannot have concurrent secondary external gateways. Changes to policies are isolated in the controller. If a policy fails to apply, changes to other policies do not trigger a retry of other policies. Policies are only re-evaluated, applying any differences that might have occurred by the change, when updates to the policy itself or related objects to the policy such as target namespaces, pod gateways, or namespaces hosting them from dynamic hops are made. Static assignment You specify an IP address directly. Dynamic assignment You specify an IP address indirectly, with namespace and pod selectors, and an optional network attachment definition. If the name of a network attachment definition is provided, the external gateway IP address of the network attachment is used. If the name of a network attachment definition is not provided, the external gateway IP address for the pod itself is used. However, this approach works only if the pod is configured with hostNetwork set to true . 26.12.3. AdminPolicyBasedExternalRoute object configuration You can define an AdminPolicyBasedExternalRoute object, which is cluster scoped, with the following properties. A namespace can be selected by only one AdminPolicyBasedExternalRoute CR at a time. Table 26.18. AdminPolicyBasedExternalRoute object Field Type Description metadata.name string Specifies the name of the AdminPolicyBasedExternalRoute object. spec.from string Specifies a namespace selector that the routing polices apply to. Only namespaceSelector is supported for external traffic. For example: from: namespaceSelector: matchLabels: kubernetes.io/metadata.name: novxlan-externalgw-ecmp-4059 A namespace can only be targeted by one AdminPolicyBasedExternalRoute CR. If a namespace is selected by more than one AdminPolicyBasedExternalRoute CR, a failed error status occurs on the second and subsequent CRs that target the same namespace. To apply updates, you must change the policy itself or related objects to the policy such as target namespaces, pod gateways, or namespaces hosting them from dynamic hops in order for the policy to be re-evaluated and your changes to be applied. spec.nextHops object Specifies the destinations where the packets are forwarded to. Must be either or both of static and dynamic . You must have at least one hop defined. Table 26.19. nextHops object Field Type Description static array Specifies an array of static IP addresses. dynamic array Specifies an array of pod selectors corresponding to pods configured with a network attachment definition to use as the external gateway target. Table 26.20. nextHops.static object Field Type Description ip string Specifies either an IPv4 or IPv6 address of the destination hop. bfdEnabled boolean Optional: Specifies whether Bi-Directional Forwarding Detection (BFD) is supported by the network. The default value is false . Table 26.21. nextHops.dynamic object Field Type Description podSelector string Specifies a [set-based]( https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/labels/#set-based-requirement ) label selector to filter the pods in the namespace that match this network configuration. namespaceSelector string Specifies a set-based selector to filter the namespaces that the podSelector applies to. You must specify a value for this field. bfdEnabled boolean Optional: Specifies whether Bi-Directional Forwarding Detection (BFD) is supported by the network. The default value is false . networkAttachmentName string Optional: Specifies the name of a network attachment definition. The name must match the list of logical networks associated with the pod. If this field is not specified, the host network of the pod is used. However, the pod must be configure as a host network pod to use the host network. 26.12.3.1. Example secondary external gateway configurations In the following example, the AdminPolicyBasedExternalRoute object configures two static IP addresses as external gateways for pods in namespaces with the kubernetes.io/metadata.name: novxlan-externalgw-ecmp-4059 label. apiVersion: k8s.ovn.org/v1 kind: AdminPolicyBasedExternalRoute metadata: name: default-route-policy spec: from: namespaceSelector: matchLabels: kubernetes.io/metadata.name: novxlan-externalgw-ecmp-4059 nextHops: static: - ip: "172.18.0.8" - ip: "172.18.0.9" In the following example, the AdminPolicyBasedExternalRoute object configures a dynamic external gateway. The IP addresses used for the external gateway are derived from the additional network attachments associated with each of the selected pods. apiVersion: k8s.ovn.org/v1 kind: AdminPolicyBasedExternalRoute metadata: name: shadow-traffic-policy spec: from: namespaceSelector: matchLabels: externalTraffic: "" nextHops: dynamic: - podSelector: matchLabels: gatewayPod: "" namespaceSelector: matchLabels: shadowTraffic: "" networkAttachmentName: shadow-gateway - podSelector: matchLabels: gigabyteGW: "" namespaceSelector: matchLabels: gatewayNamespace: "" networkAttachmentName: gateway In the following example, the AdminPolicyBasedExternalRoute object configures both static and dynamic external gateways. apiVersion: k8s.ovn.org/v1 kind: AdminPolicyBasedExternalRoute metadata: name: multi-hop-policy spec: from: namespaceSelector: matchLabels: trafficType: "egress" nextHops: static: - ip: "172.18.0.8" - ip: "172.18.0.9" dynamic: - podSelector: matchLabels: gatewayPod: "" namespaceSelector: matchLabels: egressTraffic: "" networkAttachmentName: gigabyte 26.12.4. Configure a secondary external gateway You can configure an external gateway on the default network for a namespace in your cluster. Prerequisites You installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You are logged in to the cluster with a user with cluster-admin privileges. Procedure Create a YAML file that contains an AdminPolicyBasedExternalRoute object. To create an admin policy based external route, enter the following command: USD oc create -f <file>.yaml where: <file> Specifies the name of the YAML file that you created in the step. Example output adminpolicybasedexternalroute.k8s.ovn.org/default-route-policy created To confirm that the admin policy based external route was created, enter the following command: USD oc describe apbexternalroute <name> | tail -n 6 where: <name> Specifies the name of the AdminPolicyBasedExternalRoute object. Example output Status: Last Transition Time: 2023-04-24T15:09:01Z Messages: Configured external gateway IPs: 172.18.0.8 Status: Success Events: <none> 26.12.5. Additional resources For more information about additional network attachments, see Understanding multiple networks 26.13. Configuring an egress firewall for a project As a cluster administrator, you can create an egress firewall for a project that restricts egress traffic leaving your OpenShift Container Platform cluster. 26.13.1. How an egress firewall works in a project As a cluster administrator, you can use an egress firewall to limit the external hosts that some or all pods can access from within the cluster. An egress firewall supports the following scenarios: A pod can only connect to internal hosts and cannot initiate connections to the public internet. A pod can only connect to the public internet and cannot initiate connections to internal hosts that are outside the OpenShift Container Platform cluster. A pod cannot reach specified internal subnets or hosts outside the OpenShift Container Platform cluster. A pod can connect to only specific external hosts. For example, you can allow one project access to a specified IP range but deny the same access to a different project. Or you can restrict application developers from updating from Python pip mirrors, and force updates to come only from approved sources. Note Egress firewall does not apply to the host network namespace. Pods with host networking enabled are unaffected by egress firewall rules. You configure an egress firewall policy by creating an EgressFirewall custom resource (CR) object. The egress firewall matches network traffic that meets any of the following criteria: An IP address range in CIDR format A DNS name that resolves to an IP address A port number A protocol that is one of the following protocols: TCP, UDP, and SCTP Important If your egress firewall includes a deny rule for 0.0.0.0/0 , access to your OpenShift Container Platform API servers is blocked. You must either add allow rules for each IP address or use the nodeSelector type allow rule in your egress policy rules to connect to API servers. The following example illustrates the order of the egress firewall rules necessary to ensure API server access: apiVersion: k8s.ovn.org/v1 kind: EgressFirewall metadata: name: default namespace: <namespace> 1 spec: egress: - to: cidrSelector: <api_server_address_range> 2 type: Allow # ... - to: cidrSelector: 0.0.0.0/0 3 type: Deny 1 The namespace for the egress firewall. 2 The IP address range that includes your OpenShift Container Platform API servers. 3 A global deny rule prevents access to the OpenShift Container Platform API servers. To find the IP address for your API servers, run oc get ep kubernetes -n default . For more information, see BZ#1988324 . Warning Egress firewall rules do not apply to traffic that goes through routers. Any user with permission to create a Route CR object can bypass egress firewall policy rules by creating a route that points to a forbidden destination. 26.13.1.1. Limitations of an egress firewall An egress firewall has the following limitations: No project can have more than one EgressFirewall object. A maximum of one EgressFirewall object with a maximum of 8,000 rules can be defined per project. If you are using the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin with shared gateway mode in Red Hat OpenShift Networking, return ingress replies are affected by egress firewall rules. If the egress firewall rules drop the ingress reply destination IP, the traffic is dropped. Violating any of these restrictions results in a broken egress firewall for the project. Consequently, all external network traffic is dropped, which can cause security risks for your organization. An Egress Firewall resource can be created in the kube-node-lease , kube-public , kube-system , openshift and openshift- projects. 26.13.1.2. Matching order for egress firewall policy rules The egress firewall policy rules are evaluated in the order that they are defined, from first to last. The first rule that matches an egress connection from a pod applies. Any subsequent rules are ignored for that connection. 26.13.1.3. How Domain Name Server (DNS) resolution works If you use DNS names in any of your egress firewall policy rules, proper resolution of the domain names is subject to the following restrictions: Domain name updates are polled based on a time-to-live (TTL) duration. By default, the duration is 30 minutes. When the egress firewall controller queries the local name servers for a domain name, if the response includes a TTL and the TTL is less than 30 minutes, the controller sets the duration for that DNS name to the returned value. Each DNS name is queried after the TTL for the DNS record expires. The pod must resolve the domain from the same local name servers when necessary. Otherwise the IP addresses for the domain known by the egress firewall controller and the pod can be different. If the IP addresses for a hostname differ, the egress firewall might not be enforced consistently. Because the egress firewall controller and pods asynchronously poll the same local name server, the pod might obtain the updated IP address before the egress controller does, which causes a race condition. Due to this current limitation, domain name usage in EgressFirewall objects is only recommended for domains with infrequent IP address changes. Note Using DNS names in your egress firewall policy does not affect local DNS resolution through CoreDNS. However, if your egress firewall policy uses domain names, and an external DNS server handles DNS resolution for an affected pod, you must include egress firewall rules that permit access to the IP addresses of your DNS server. 26.13.2. EgressFirewall custom resource (CR) object You can define one or more rules for an egress firewall. A rule is either an Allow rule or a Deny rule, with a specification for the traffic that the rule applies to. The following YAML describes an EgressFirewall CR object: EgressFirewall object apiVersion: k8s.ovn.org/v1 kind: EgressFirewall metadata: name: <name> 1 spec: egress: 2 ... 1 The name for the object must be default . 2 A collection of one or more egress network policy rules as described in the following section. 26.13.2.1. EgressFirewall rules The following YAML describes an egress firewall rule object. The user can select either an IP address range in CIDR format, a domain name, or use the nodeSelector to allow or deny egress traffic. The egress stanza expects an array of one or more objects. Egress policy rule stanza egress: - type: <type> 1 to: 2 cidrSelector: <cidr> 3 dnsName: <dns_name> 4 nodeSelector: <label_name>: <label_value> 5 ports: 6 ... 1 The type of rule. The value must be either Allow or Deny . 2 A stanza describing an egress traffic match rule that specifies the cidrSelector field or the dnsName field. You cannot use both fields in the same rule. 3 An IP address range in CIDR format. 4 A DNS domain name. 5 Labels are key/value pairs that the user defines. Labels are attached to objects, such as pods. The nodeSelector allows for one or more node labels to be selected and attached to pods. 6 Optional: A stanza describing a collection of network ports and protocols for the rule. Ports stanza ports: - port: <port> 1 protocol: <protocol> 2 1 A network port, such as 80 or 443 . If you specify a value for this field, you must also specify a value for protocol . 2 A network protocol. The value must be either TCP , UDP , or SCTP . 26.13.2.2. Example EgressFirewall CR objects The following example defines several egress firewall policy rules: apiVersion: k8s.ovn.org/v1 kind: EgressFirewall metadata: name: default spec: egress: 1 - type: Allow to: cidrSelector: 1.2.3.0/24 - type: Deny to: cidrSelector: 0.0.0.0/0 1 A collection of egress firewall policy rule objects. The following example defines a policy rule that denies traffic to the host at the 172.16.1.1/32 IP address, if the traffic is using either the TCP protocol and destination port 80 or any protocol and destination port 443 . apiVersion: k8s.ovn.org/v1 kind: EgressFirewall metadata: name: default spec: egress: - type: Deny to: cidrSelector: 172.16.1.1/32 ports: - port: 80 protocol: TCP - port: 443 26.13.2.3. Example nodeSelector for EgressFirewall As a cluster administrator, you can allow or deny egress traffic to nodes in your cluster by specifying a label using nodeSelector . Labels can be applied to one or more nodes. The following is an example with the region=east label: apiVersion: k8s.ovn.org/v1 kind: EgressFirewall metadata: name: default spec: egress: - to: nodeSelector: matchLabels: region: east type: Allow Tip Instead of adding manual rules per node IP address, use node selectors to create a label that allows pods behind an egress firewall to access host network pods. 26.13.3. Creating an egress firewall policy object As a cluster administrator, you can create an egress firewall policy object for a project. Important If the project already has an EgressFirewall object defined, you must edit the existing policy to make changes to the egress firewall rules. Prerequisites A cluster that uses the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin. Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You must log in to the cluster as a cluster administrator. Procedure Create a policy rule: Create a <policy_name>.yaml file where <policy_name> describes the egress policy rules. In the file you created, define an egress policy object. Enter the following command to create the policy object. Replace <policy_name> with the name of the policy and <project> with the project that the rule applies to. USD oc create -f <policy_name>.yaml -n <project> In the following example, a new EgressFirewall object is created in a project named project1 : USD oc create -f default.yaml -n project1 Example output egressfirewall.k8s.ovn.org/v1 created Optional: Save the <policy_name>.yaml file so that you can make changes later. 26.14. Viewing an egress firewall for a project As a cluster administrator, you can list the names of any existing egress firewalls and view the traffic rules for a specific egress firewall. Note OpenShift SDN CNI is deprecated as of OpenShift Container Platform 4.14. As of OpenShift Container Platform 4.15, the network plugin is not an option for new installations. In a subsequent future release, the OpenShift SDN network plugin is planned to be removed and no longer supported. Red Hat will provide bug fixes and support for this feature until it is removed, but this feature will no longer receive enhancements. As an alternative to OpenShift SDN CNI, you can use OVN Kubernetes CNI instead. 26.14.1. Viewing an EgressFirewall object You can view an EgressFirewall object in your cluster. Prerequisites A cluster using the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin. Install the OpenShift Command-line Interface (CLI), commonly known as oc . You must log in to the cluster. Procedure Optional: To view the names of the EgressFirewall objects defined in your cluster, enter the following command: USD oc get egressfirewall --all-namespaces To inspect a policy, enter the following command. Replace <policy_name> with the name of the policy to inspect. USD oc describe egressfirewall <policy_name> Example output Name: default Namespace: project1 Created: 20 minutes ago Labels: <none> Annotations: <none> Rule: Allow to 1.2.3.0/24 Rule: Allow to www.example.com Rule: Deny to 0.0.0.0/0 26.15. Editing an egress firewall for a project As a cluster administrator, you can modify network traffic rules for an existing egress firewall. 26.15.1. Editing an EgressFirewall object As a cluster administrator, you can update the egress firewall for a project. Prerequisites A cluster using the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin. Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You must log in to the cluster as a cluster administrator. Procedure Find the name of the EgressFirewall object for the project. Replace <project> with the name of the project. USD oc get -n <project> egressfirewall Optional: If you did not save a copy of the EgressFirewall object when you created the egress network firewall, enter the following command to create a copy. USD oc get -n <project> egressfirewall <name> -o yaml > <filename>.yaml Replace <project> with the name of the project. Replace <name> with the name of the object. Replace <filename> with the name of the file to save the YAML to. After making changes to the policy rules, enter the following command to replace the EgressFirewall object. Replace <filename> with the name of the file containing the updated EgressFirewall object. USD oc replace -f <filename>.yaml 26.16. Removing an egress firewall from a project As a cluster administrator, you can remove an egress firewall from a project to remove all restrictions on network traffic from the project that leaves the OpenShift Container Platform cluster. 26.16.1. Removing an EgressFirewall object As a cluster administrator, you can remove an egress firewall from a project. Prerequisites A cluster using the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin. Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You must log in to the cluster as a cluster administrator. Procedure Find the name of the EgressFirewall object for the project. Replace <project> with the name of the project. USD oc get -n <project> egressfirewall Enter the following command to delete the EgressFirewall object. Replace <project> with the name of the project and <name> with the name of the object. USD oc delete -n <project> egressfirewall <name> 26.17. Configuring an egress IP address As a cluster administrator, you can configure the OVN-Kubernetes Container Network Interface (CNI) network plugin to assign one or more egress IP addresses to a namespace, or to specific pods in a namespace. Important In an installer-provisioned infrastructure cluster, do not assign egress IP addresses to the infrastructure node that already hosts the ingress VIP. For more information, see the Red Hat Knowledgebase solution POD from the egress IP enabled namespace cannot access OCP route in an IPI cluster when the egress IP is assigned to the infra node that already hosts the ingress VIP . 26.17.1. Egress IP address architectural design and implementation The OpenShift Container Platform egress IP address functionality allows you to ensure that the traffic from one or more pods in one or more namespaces has a consistent source IP address for services outside the cluster network. For example, you might have a pod that periodically queries a database that is hosted on a server outside of your cluster. To enforce access requirements for the server, a packet filtering device is configured to allow traffic only from specific IP addresses. To ensure that you can reliably allow access to the server from only that specific pod, you can configure a specific egress IP address for the pod that makes the requests to the server. An egress IP address assigned to a namespace is different from an egress router, which is used to send traffic to specific destinations. In some cluster configurations, application pods and ingress router pods run on the same node. If you configure an egress IP address for an application project in this scenario, the IP address is not used when you send a request to a route from the application project. Important Egress IP addresses must not be configured in any Linux network configuration files, such as ifcfg-eth0 . 26.17.1.1. Platform support Support for the egress IP address functionality on various platforms is summarized in the following table: Platform Supported Bare metal Yes VMware vSphere Yes Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) Yes Amazon Web Services (AWS) Yes Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Yes Microsoft Azure Yes IBM Z(R) and IBM(R) LinuxONE Yes IBM Z(R) and IBM(R) LinuxONE for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) KVM Yes IBM Power(R) Yes Nutanix Yes Important The assignment of egress IP addresses to control plane nodes with the EgressIP feature is not supported on a cluster provisioned on Amazon Web Services (AWS). ( BZ#2039656 ). 26.17.1.2. Public cloud platform considerations For clusters provisioned on public cloud infrastructure, there is a constraint on the absolute number of assignable IP addresses per node. The maximum number of assignable IP addresses per node, or the IP capacity , can be described in the following formula: IP capacity = public cloud default capacity - sum(current IP assignments) While the Egress IPs capability manages the IP address capacity per node, it is important to plan for this constraint in your deployments. For example, for a cluster installed on bare-metal infrastructure with 8 nodes you can configure 150 egress IP addresses. However, if a public cloud provider limits IP address capacity to 10 IP addresses per node, the total number of assignable IP addresses is only 80. To achieve the same IP address capacity in this example cloud provider, you would need to allocate 7 additional nodes. To confirm the IP capacity and subnets for any node in your public cloud environment, you can enter the oc get node <node_name> -o yaml command. The cloud.network.openshift.io/egress-ipconfig annotation includes capacity and subnet information for the node. The annotation value is an array with a single object with fields that provide the following information for the primary network interface: interface : Specifies the interface ID on AWS and Azure and the interface name on GCP. ifaddr : Specifies the subnet mask for one or both IP address families. capacity : Specifies the IP address capacity for the node. On AWS, the IP address capacity is provided per IP address family. On Azure and GCP, the IP address capacity includes both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Automatic attachment and detachment of egress IP addresses for traffic between nodes are available. This allows for traffic from many pods in namespaces to have a consistent source IP address to locations outside of the cluster. This also supports OpenShift SDN and OVN-Kubernetes, which is the default networking plugin in Red Hat OpenShift Networking in OpenShift Container Platform 4.15. Note The RHOSP egress IP address feature creates a Neutron reservation port called egressip-<IP address> . Using the same RHOSP user as the one used for the OpenShift Container Platform cluster installation, you can assign a floating IP address to this reservation port to have a predictable SNAT address for egress traffic. When an egress IP address on an RHOSP network is moved from one node to another, because of a node failover, for example, the Neutron reservation port is removed and recreated. This means that the floating IP association is lost and you need to manually reassign the floating IP address to the new reservation port. Note When an RHOSP cluster administrator assigns a floating IP to the reservation port, OpenShift Container Platform cannot delete the reservation port. The CloudPrivateIPConfig object cannot perform delete and move operations until an RHOSP cluster administrator unassigns the floating IP from the reservation port. The following examples illustrate the annotation from nodes on several public cloud providers. The annotations are indented for readability. Example cloud.network.openshift.io/egress-ipconfig annotation on AWS cloud.network.openshift.io/egress-ipconfig: [ { "interface":"eni-078d267045138e436", "ifaddr":{"ipv4":"10.0.128.0/18"}, "capacity":{"ipv4":14,"ipv6":15} } ] Example cloud.network.openshift.io/egress-ipconfig annotation on GCP cloud.network.openshift.io/egress-ipconfig: [ { "interface":"nic0", "ifaddr":{"ipv4":"10.0.128.0/18"}, "capacity":{"ip":14} } ] The following sections describe the IP address capacity for supported public cloud environments for use in your capacity calculation. 26.17.1.2.1. Amazon Web Services (AWS) IP address capacity limits On AWS, constraints on IP address assignments depend on the instance type configured. For more information, see IP addresses per network interface per instance type 26.17.1.2.2. Google Cloud Platform (GCP) IP address capacity limits On GCP, the networking model implements additional node IP addresses through IP address aliasing, rather than IP address assignments. However, IP address capacity maps directly to IP aliasing capacity. The following capacity limits exist for IP aliasing assignment: Per node, the maximum number of IP aliases, both IPv4 and IPv6, is 100. Per VPC, the maximum number of IP aliases is unspecified, but OpenShift Container Platform scalability testing reveals the maximum to be approximately 15,000. For more information, see Per instance quotas and Alias IP ranges overview . 26.17.1.2.3. Microsoft Azure IP address capacity limits On Azure, the following capacity limits exist for IP address assignment: Per NIC, the maximum number of assignable IP addresses, for both IPv4 and IPv6, is 256. Per virtual network, the maximum number of assigned IP addresses cannot exceed 65,536. For more information, see Networking limits . 26.17.1.3. Considerations for using an egress IP on additional network interfaces In OpenShift Container Platform, egress IPs provide administrators a way to control network traffic. Egress IPs can be used with the br-ex , or primary, network interface, which is a Linux bridge interface associated with Open vSwitch, or they can be used with additional network interfaces. You can inspect your network interface type by running the following command: USD ip -details link show The primary network interface is assigned a node IP address which also contains a subnet mask. Information for this node IP address can be retrieved from the Kubernetes node object for each node within your cluster by inspecting the k8s.ovn.org/node-primary-ifaddr annotation. In an IPv4 cluster, this annotation is similar to the following example: "k8s.ovn.org/node-primary-ifaddr: {"ipv4":"192.168.111.23/24"}" . If the egress IP is not within the subnet of the primary network interface subnet, you can use an egress IP on another Linux network interface that is not of the primary network interface type. By doing so, OpenShift Container Platform administrators are provided with a greater level of control over networking aspects such as routing, addressing, segmentation, and security policies. This feature provides users with the option to route workload traffic over specific network interfaces for purposes such as traffic segmentation or meeting specialized requirements. If the egress IP is not within the subnet of the primary network interface, then the selection of another network interface for egress traffic might occur if they are present on a node. You can determine which other network interfaces might support egress IPs by inspecting the k8s.ovn.org/host-cidrs Kubernetes node annotation. This annotation contains the addresses and subnet mask found for the primary network interface. It also contains additional network interface addresses and subnet mask information. These addresses and subnet masks are assigned to network interfaces that use the longest prefix match routing mechanism to determine which network interface supports the egress IP. Note OVN-Kubernetes provides a mechanism to control and direct outbound network traffic from specific namespaces and pods. This ensures that it exits the cluster through a particular network interface and with a specific egress IP address. Requirements for assigning an egress IP to a network interface that is not the primary network interface For users who want an egress IP and traffic to be routed over a particular interface that is not the primary network interface, the following conditions must be met: OpenShift Container Platform is installed on a bare metal cluster. This feature is disabled within cloud or hypervisor environments. Your OpenShift Container Platform pods are not configured as host-networked. If a network interface is removed or if the IP address and subnet mask which allows the egress IP to be hosted on the interface is removed, then the egress IP is reconfigured. Consequently, it could be assigned to another node and interface. IP forwarding must be enabled for the network interface. To enable IP forwarding, you can use the oc edit network.operator command and edit the object like the following example: # ... spec: clusterNetwork: - cidr: 10.128.0.0/14 hostPrefix: 23 defaultNetwork: ovnKubernetesConfig: gatewayConfig: ipForwarding: Global # ... 26.17.1.4. Assignment of egress IPs to pods To assign one or more egress IPs to a namespace or specific pods in a namespace, the following conditions must be satisfied: At least one node in your cluster must have the k8s.ovn.org/egress-assignable: "" label. An EgressIP object exists that defines one or more egress IP addresses to use as the source IP address for traffic leaving the cluster from pods in a namespace. Important If you create EgressIP objects prior to labeling any nodes in your cluster for egress IP assignment, OpenShift Container Platform might assign every egress IP address to the first node with the k8s.ovn.org/egress-assignable: "" label. To ensure that egress IP addresses are widely distributed across nodes in the cluster, always apply the label to the nodes you intent to host the egress IP addresses before creating any EgressIP objects. 26.17.1.5. Assignment of egress IPs to nodes When creating an EgressIP object, the following conditions apply to nodes that are labeled with the k8s.ovn.org/egress-assignable: "" label: An egress IP address is never assigned to more than one node at a time. An egress IP address is equally balanced between available nodes that can host the egress IP address. If the spec.EgressIPs array in an EgressIP object specifies more than one IP address, the following conditions apply: No node will ever host more than one of the specified IP addresses. Traffic is balanced roughly equally between the specified IP addresses for a given namespace. If a node becomes unavailable, any egress IP addresses assigned to it are automatically reassigned, subject to the previously described conditions. When a pod matches the selector for multiple EgressIP objects, there is no guarantee which of the egress IP addresses that are specified in the EgressIP objects is assigned as the egress IP address for the pod. Additionally, if an EgressIP object specifies multiple egress IP addresses, there is no guarantee which of the egress IP addresses might be used. For example, if a pod matches a selector for an EgressIP object with two egress IP addresses, 10.10.20.1 and 10.10.20.2 , either might be used for each TCP connection or UDP conversation. 26.17.1.6. Architectural diagram of an egress IP address configuration The following diagram depicts an egress IP address configuration. The diagram describes four pods in two different namespaces running on three nodes in a cluster. The nodes are assigned IP addresses from the 192.168.126.0/18 CIDR block on the host network. Both Node 1 and Node 3 are labeled with k8s.ovn.org/egress-assignable: "" and thus available for the assignment of egress IP addresses. The dashed lines in the diagram depict the traffic flow from pod1, pod2, and pod3 traveling through the pod network to egress the cluster from Node 1 and Node 3. When an external service receives traffic from any of the pods selected by the example EgressIP object, the source IP address is either 192.168.126.10 or 192.168.126.102 . The traffic is balanced roughly equally between these two nodes. The following resources from the diagram are illustrated in detail: Namespace objects The namespaces are defined in the following manifest: Namespace objects apiVersion: v1 kind: Namespace metadata: name: namespace1 labels: env: prod --- apiVersion: v1 kind: Namespace metadata: name: namespace2 labels: env: prod EgressIP object The following EgressIP object describes a configuration that selects all pods in any namespace with the env label set to prod . The egress IP addresses for the selected pods are 192.168.126.10 and 192.168.126.102 . EgressIP object apiVersion: k8s.ovn.org/v1 kind: EgressIP metadata: name: egressips-prod spec: egressIPs: - 192.168.126.10 - 192.168.126.102 namespaceSelector: matchLabels: env: prod status: items: - node: node1 egressIP: 192.168.126.10 - node: node3 egressIP: 192.168.126.102 For the configuration in the example, OpenShift Container Platform assigns both egress IP addresses to the available nodes. The status field reflects whether and where the egress IP addresses are assigned. 26.17.2. EgressIP object The following YAML describes the API for the EgressIP object. The scope of the object is cluster-wide; it is not created in a namespace. apiVersion: k8s.ovn.org/v1 kind: EgressIP metadata: name: <name> 1 spec: egressIPs: 2 - <ip_address> namespaceSelector: 3 ... podSelector: 4 ... 1 The name for the EgressIPs object. 2 An array of one or more IP addresses. 3 One or more selectors for the namespaces to associate the egress IP addresses with. 4 Optional: One or more selectors for pods in the specified namespaces to associate egress IP addresses with. Applying these selectors allows for the selection of a subset of pods within a namespace. The following YAML describes the stanza for the namespace selector: Namespace selector stanza namespaceSelector: 1 matchLabels: <label_name>: <label_value> 1 One or more matching rules for namespaces. If more than one match rule is provided, all matching namespaces are selected. The following YAML describes the optional stanza for the pod selector: Pod selector stanza podSelector: 1 matchLabels: <label_name>: <label_value> 1 Optional: One or more matching rules for pods in the namespaces that match the specified namespaceSelector rules. If specified, only pods that match are selected. Others pods in the namespace are not selected. In the following example, the EgressIP object associates the 192.168.126.11 and 192.168.126.102 egress IP addresses with pods that have the app label set to web and are in the namespaces that have the env label set to prod : Example EgressIP object apiVersion: k8s.ovn.org/v1 kind: EgressIP metadata: name: egress-group1 spec: egressIPs: - 192.168.126.11 - 192.168.126.102 podSelector: matchLabels: app: web namespaceSelector: matchLabels: env: prod In the following example, the EgressIP object associates the 192.168.127.30 and 192.168.127.40 egress IP addresses with any pods that do not have the environment label set to development : Example EgressIP object apiVersion: k8s.ovn.org/v1 kind: EgressIP metadata: name: egress-group2 spec: egressIPs: - 192.168.127.30 - 192.168.127.40 namespaceSelector: matchExpressions: - key: environment operator: NotIn values: - development 26.17.3. The egressIPConfig object As a feature of egress IP, the reachabilityTotalTimeoutSeconds parameter configures the EgressIP node reachability check total timeout in seconds. If the EgressIP node cannot be reached within this timeout, the node is declared down. You can set a value for the reachabilityTotalTimeoutSeconds in the configuration file for the egressIPConfig object. Setting a large value might cause the EgressIP implementation to react slowly to node changes. The implementation reacts slowly for EgressIP nodes that have an issue and are unreachable. If you omit the reachabilityTotalTimeoutSeconds parameter from the egressIPConfig object, the platform chooses a reasonable default value, which is subject to change over time. The current default is 1 second. A value of 0 disables the reachability check for the EgressIP node. The following egressIPConfig object describes changing the reachabilityTotalTimeoutSeconds from the default 1 second probes to 5 second probes: apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: Network metadata: name: cluster spec: clusterNetwork: - cidr: 10.128.0.0/14 hostPrefix: 23 defaultNetwork: ovnKubernetesConfig: egressIPConfig: 1 reachabilityTotalTimeoutSeconds: 5 2 gatewayConfig: routingViaHost: false genevePort: 6081 1 The egressIPConfig holds the configurations for the options of the EgressIP object. By changing these configurations, you can extend the EgressIP object. 2 The value for reachabilityTotalTimeoutSeconds accepts integer values from 0 to 60 . A value of 0 disables the reachability check of the egressIP node. Setting a value from 1 to 60 corresponds to the timeout in seconds for a probe to send the reachability check to the node. 26.17.4. Labeling a node to host egress IP addresses You can apply the k8s.ovn.org/egress-assignable="" label to a node in your cluster so that OpenShift Container Platform can assign one or more egress IP addresses to the node. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Log in to the cluster as a cluster administrator. Procedure To label a node so that it can host one or more egress IP addresses, enter the following command: USD oc label nodes <node_name> k8s.ovn.org/egress-assignable="" 1 1 The name of the node to label. Tip You can alternatively apply the following YAML to add the label to a node: apiVersion: v1 kind: Node metadata: labels: k8s.ovn.org/egress-assignable: "" name: <node_name> 26.17.5. steps Assigning egress IPs 26.17.6. Additional resources LabelSelector meta/v1 LabelSelectorRequirement meta/v1 26.18. Assigning an egress IP address As a cluster administrator, you can assign an egress IP address for traffic leaving the cluster from a namespace or from specific pods in a namespace. 26.18.1. Assigning an egress IP address to a namespace You can assign one or more egress IP addresses to a namespace or to specific pods in a namespace. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Log in to the cluster as a cluster administrator. Configure at least one node to host an egress IP address. Procedure Create an EgressIP object: Create a <egressips_name>.yaml file where <egressips_name> is the name of the object. In the file that you created, define an EgressIP object, as in the following example: apiVersion: k8s.ovn.org/v1 kind: EgressIP metadata: name: egress-project1 spec: egressIPs: - 192.168.127.10 - 192.168.127.11 namespaceSelector: matchLabels: env: qa To create the object, enter the following command. USD oc apply -f <egressips_name>.yaml 1 1 Replace <egressips_name> with the name of the object. Example output egressips.k8s.ovn.org/<egressips_name> created Optional: Store the <egressips_name>.yaml file so that you can make changes later. Add labels to the namespace that requires egress IP addresses. To add a label to the namespace of an EgressIP object defined in step 1, run the following command: USD oc label ns <namespace> env=qa 1 1 Replace <namespace> with the namespace that requires egress IP addresses. Verification To show all egress IPs that are in use in your cluster, enter the following command: USD oc get egressip -o yaml Note The command oc get egressip only returns one egress IP address regardless of how many are configured. This is not a bug and is a limitation of Kubernetes. As a workaround, you can pass in the -o yaml or -o json flags to return all egress IPs addresses in use. Example output # ... spec: egressIPs: - 192.168.127.10 - 192.168.127.11 # ... 26.18.2. Additional resources Configuring egress IP addresses 26.19. Configuring an egress service As a cluster administrator, you can configure egress traffic for pods behind a load balancer service by using an egress service. Important Egress service 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 . You can use the EgressService custom resource (CR) to manage egress traffic in the following ways: Assign a load balancer service IP address as the source IP address for egress traffic for pods behind the load balancer service. Assigning the load balancer IP address as the source IP address in this context is useful to present a single point of egress and ingress. For example, in some scenarios, an external system communicating with an application behind a load balancer service can expect the source and destination IP address for the application to be the same. Note When you assign the load balancer service IP address to egress traffic for pods behind the service, OVN-Kubernetes restricts the ingress and egress point to a single node. This limits the load balancing of traffic that MetalLB typically provides. Assign the egress traffic for pods behind a load balancer to a different network than the default node network. This is useful to assign the egress traffic for applications behind a load balancer to a different network than the default network. Typically, the different network is implemented by using a VRF instance associated with a network interface. 26.19.1. Egress service custom resource Define the configuration for an egress service in an EgressService custom resource. The following YAML describes the fields for the configuration of an egress service: apiVersion: k8s.ovn.org/v1 kind: EgressService metadata: name: <egress_service_name> 1 namespace: <namespace> 2 spec: sourceIPBy: <egress_traffic_ip> 3 nodeSelector: 4 matchLabels: node-role.kubernetes.io/<role>: "" network: <egress_traffic_network> 5 1 Specify the name for the egress service. The name of the EgressService resource must match the name of the load-balancer service that you want to modify. 2 Specify the namespace for the egress service. The namespace for the EgressService must match the namespace of the load-balancer service that you want to modify. The egress service is namespace-scoped. 3 Specify the source IP address of egress traffic for pods behind a service. Valid values are LoadBalancerIP or Network . Use the LoadBalancerIP value to assign the LoadBalancer service ingress IP address as the source IP address for egress traffic. Specify Network to assign the network interface IP address as the source IP address for egress traffic. 4 Optional: If you use the LoadBalancerIP value for the sourceIPBy specification, a single node handles the LoadBalancer service traffic. Use the nodeSelector field to limit which node can be assigned this task. When a node is selected to handle the service traffic, OVN-Kubernetes labels the node in the following format: egress-service.k8s.ovn.org/<svc-namespace>-<svc-name>: "" . When the nodeSelector field is not specified, any node can manage the LoadBalancer service traffic. 5 Optional: Specify the routing table for egress traffic. If you do not include the network specification, the egress service uses the default host network. Example egress service specification apiVersion: k8s.ovn.org/v1 kind: EgressService metadata: name: test-egress-service namespace: test-namespace spec: sourceIPBy: "LoadBalancerIP" nodeSelector: matchLabels: vrf: "true" network: "2" 26.19.2. Deploying an egress service You can deploy an egress service to manage egress traffic for pods behind a LoadBalancer service. The following example configures the egress traffic to have the same source IP address as the ingress IP address of the LoadBalancer service. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. You configured MetalLB BGPPeer resources. Procedure Create an IPAddressPool CR with the desired IP for the service: Create a file, such as ip-addr-pool.yaml , with content like the following example: apiVersion: metallb.io/v1beta1 kind: IPAddressPool metadata: name: example-pool namespace: metallb-system spec: addresses: - 172.19.0.100/32 Apply the configuration for the IP address pool by running the following command: USD oc apply -f ip-addr-pool.yaml Create Service and EgressService CRs: Create a file, such as service-egress-service.yaml , with content like the following example: apiVersion: v1 kind: Service metadata: name: example-service namespace: example-namespace annotations: metallb.universe.tf/address-pool: example-pool 1 spec: selector: app: example ports: - name: http protocol: TCP port: 8080 targetPort: 8080 type: LoadBalancer --- apiVersion: k8s.ovn.org/v1 kind: EgressService metadata: name: example-service namespace: example-namespace spec: sourceIPBy: "LoadBalancerIP" 2 nodeSelector: 3 matchLabels: node-role.kubernetes.io/worker: "" 1 The LoadBalancer service uses the IP address assigned by MetalLB from the example-pool IP address pool. 2 This example uses the LoadBalancerIP value to assign the ingress IP address of the LoadBalancer service as the source IP address of egress traffic. 3 When you specify the LoadBalancerIP value, a single node handles the LoadBalancer service's traffic. In this example, only nodes with the worker label can be selected to handle the traffic. When a node is selected, OVN-Kubernetes labels the node in the following format egress-service.k8s.ovn.org/<svc-namespace>-<svc-name>: "" . Note If you use the sourceIPBy: "LoadBalancerIP" setting, you must specify the load-balancer node in the BGPAdvertisement custom resource (CR). Apply the configuration for the service and egress service by running the following command: USD oc apply -f service-egress-service.yaml Create a BGPAdvertisement CR to advertise the service: Create a file, such as service-bgp-advertisement.yaml , with content like the following example: apiVersion: metallb.io/v1beta1 kind: BGPAdvertisement metadata: name: example-bgp-adv namespace: metallb-system spec: ipAddressPools: - example-pool nodeSelector: - matchLabels: egress-service.k8s.ovn.org/example-namespace-example-service: "" 1 1 In this example, the EgressService CR configures the source IP address for egress traffic to use the load-balancer service IP address. Therefore, you must specify the load-balancer node for return traffic to use the same return path for the traffic originating from the pod. Verification Verify that you can access the application endpoint of the pods running behind the MetalLB service by running the following command: USD curl <external_ip_address>:<port_number> 1 1 Update the external IP address and port number to suit your application endpoint. If you assigned the LoadBalancer service's ingress IP address as the source IP address for egress traffic, verify this configuration by using tools such as tcpdump to analyze packets received at the external client.

Considerations for the use of an egress router pod 26.20.1. About an egress router pod The OpenShift Container Platform egress router pod redirects traffic to a specified remote server from a private source IP address that is not used for any other purpose. An egress router pod can send network traffic to servers that are set up to allow access only from specific IP addresses. Note The egress router pod is not intended for every outgoing connection. Creating large numbers of egress router pods can exceed the limits of your network hardware. For example, creating an egress router pod for every project or application could exceed the number of local MAC addresses that the network interface can handle before reverting to filtering MAC addresses in software. Important The egress router image is not compatible with Amazon AWS, Azure Cloud, or any other cloud platform that does not support layer 2 manipulations due to their incompatibility with macvlan traffic. 26.20.1.1. Egress router modes In redirect mode , an egress router pod configures iptables rules to redirect traffic from its own IP address to one or more destination IP addresses. Client pods that need to use the reserved source IP address must be configured to access the service for the egress router rather than connecting directly to the destination IP. You can access the destination service and port from the application pod by using the curl command. For example: USD curl <router_service_IP> <port> Note The egress router CNI plugin supports redirect mode only. This is a difference with the egress router implementation that you can deploy with OpenShift SDN. Unlike the egress router for OpenShift SDN, the egress router CNI plugin does not support HTTP proxy mode or DNS proxy mode. 26.20.1.2. Egress router pod implementation The egress router implementation uses the egress router Container Network Interface (CNI) plugin. The plugin adds a secondary network interface to a pod. An egress router is a pod that has two network interfaces. For example, the pod can have eth0 and net1 network interfaces. The eth0 interface is on the cluster network and the pod continues to use the interface for ordinary cluster-related network traffic. The net1 interface is on a secondary network and has an IP address and gateway for that network. Other pods in the OpenShift Container Platform cluster can access the egress router service and the service enables the pods to access external services. The egress router acts as a bridge between pods and an external system. Traffic that leaves the egress router exits through a node, but the packets have the MAC address of the net1 interface from the egress router pod. When you add an egress router custom resource, the Cluster Network Operator creates the following objects: The network attachment definition for the net1 secondary network interface of the pod. A deployment for the egress router. If you delete an egress router custom resource, the Operator deletes the two objects in the preceding list that are associated with the egress router. 26.20.1.3. Deployment considerations An egress router pod adds an additional IP address and MAC address to the primary network interface of the node. As a result, you might need to configure your hypervisor or cloud provider to allow the additional address. Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) If you deploy OpenShift Container Platform on RHOSP, you must allow traffic from the IP and MAC addresses of the egress router pod on your OpenStack environment. If you do not allow the traffic, then communication will fail : USD openstack port set --allowed-address \ ip_address=<ip_address>,mac_address=<mac_address> <neutron_port_uuid> VMware vSphere If you are using VMware vSphere, see the VMware documentation for securing vSphere standard switches . View and change VMware vSphere default settings by selecting the host virtual switch from the vSphere Web Client. Specifically, ensure that the following are enabled: MAC Address Changes Forged Transits Promiscuous Mode Operation 26.20.1.4. Failover configuration To avoid downtime, the Cluster Network Operator deploys the egress router pod as a deployment resource. The deployment name is egress-router-cni-deployment . The pod that corresponds to the deployment has a label of app=egress-router-cni . To create a new service for the deployment, use the oc expose deployment/egress-router-cni-deployment --port <port_number> command or create a file like the following example: apiVersion: v1 kind: Service metadata: name: app-egress spec: ports: - name: tcp-8080 protocol: TCP port: 8080 - name: tcp-8443 protocol: TCP port: 8443 - name: udp-80 protocol: UDP port: 80 type: ClusterIP selector: app: egress-router-cni 26.20.2. Additional resources Deploying an egress router in redirection mode 26.21. Deploying an egress router pod in redirect mode As a cluster administrator, you can deploy an egress router pod to redirect traffic to specified destination IP addresses from a reserved source IP address. The egress router implementation uses the egress router Container Network Interface (CNI) plugin. 26.21.1. Egress router custom resource Define the configuration for an egress router pod in an egress router custom resource. The following YAML describes the fields for the configuration of an egress router in redirect mode: apiVersion: network.operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: EgressRouter metadata: name: <egress_router_name> namespace: <namespace> 1 spec: addresses: [ 2 { ip: "<egress_router>", 3 gateway: "<egress_gateway>" 4 } ] mode: Redirect redirect: { redirectRules: [ 5 { destinationIP: "<egress_destination>", port: <egress_router_port>, targetPort: <target_port>, 6 protocol: <network_protocol> 7 }, ... ], fallbackIP: "<egress_destination>" 8 } 1 Optional: The namespace field specifies the namespace to create the egress router in. If you do not specify a value in the file or on the command line, the default namespace is used. 2 The addresses field specifies the IP addresses to configure on the secondary network interface. 3 The ip field specifies the reserved source IP address and netmask from the physical network that the node is on to use with egress router pod. Use CIDR notation to specify the IP address and netmask. 4 The gateway field specifies the IP address of the network gateway. 5 Optional: The redirectRules field specifies a combination of egress destination IP address, egress router port, and protocol. Incoming connections to the egress router on the specified port and protocol are routed to the destination IP address. 6 Optional: The targetPort field specifies the network port on the destination IP address. If this field is not specified, traffic is routed to the same network port that it arrived on. 7 The protocol field supports TCP, UDP, or SCTP. 8 Optional: The fallbackIP field specifies a destination IP address. If you do not specify any redirect rules, the egress router sends all traffic to this fallback IP address. If you specify redirect rules, any connections to network ports that are not defined in the rules are sent by the egress router to this fallback IP address. If you do not specify this field, the egress router rejects connections to network ports that are not defined in the rules. Example egress router specification apiVersion: network.operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: EgressRouter metadata: name: egress-router-redirect spec: networkInterface: { macvlan: { mode: "Bridge" } } addresses: [ { ip: "192.168.12.99/24", gateway: "192.168.12.1" } ] mode: Redirect redirect: { redirectRules: [ { destinationIP: "10.0.0.99", port: 80, protocol: UDP }, { destinationIP: "203.0.113.26", port: 8080, targetPort: 80, protocol: TCP }, { destinationIP: "203.0.113.27", port: 8443, targetPort: 443, protocol: TCP } ] } 26.21.2. Deploying an egress router in redirect mode You can deploy an egress router to redirect traffic from its own reserved source IP address to one or more destination IP addresses. After you add an egress router, the client pods that need to use the reserved source IP address must be modified to connect to the egress router rather than connecting directly to the destination IP. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Procedure Create an egress router definition. To ensure that other pods can find the IP address of the egress router pod, create a service that uses the egress router, as in the following example: apiVersion: v1 kind: Service metadata: name: egress-1 spec: ports: - name: web-app protocol: TCP port: 8080 type: ClusterIP selector: app: egress-router-cni 1 1 Specify the label for the egress router. The value shown is added by the Cluster Network Operator and is not configurable. After you create the service, your pods can connect to the service. The egress router pod redirects traffic to the corresponding port on the destination IP address. The connections originate from the reserved source IP address. Verification To verify that the Cluster Network Operator started the egress router, complete the following procedure: View the network attachment definition that the Operator created for the egress router: USD oc get network-attachment-definition egress-router-cni-nad The name of the network attachment definition is not configurable. Example output NAME AGE egress-router-cni-nad 18m View the deployment for the egress router pod: USD oc get deployment egress-router-cni-deployment The name of the deployment is not configurable. Example output NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE egress-router-cni-deployment 1/1 1 1 18m View the status of the egress router pod: USD oc get pods -l app=egress-router-cni Example output NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE egress-router-cni-deployment-575465c75c-qkq6m 1/1 Running 0 18m View the logs and the routing table for the egress router pod. Get the node name for the egress router pod: USD POD_NODENAME=USD(oc get pod -l app=egress-router-cni -o jsonpath="{.items[0].spec.nodeName}") Enter into a debug session on the target node. This step instantiates a debug pod called <node_name>-debug : USD oc debug node/USDPOD_NODENAME Set /host as the root directory within the debug shell. The debug pod mounts the root file system of the host in /host within the pod. By changing the root directory to /host , you can run binaries from the executable paths of the host: # chroot /host From within the chroot environment console, display the egress router logs: # cat /tmp/egress-router-log Example output 2021-04-26T12:27:20Z [debug] Called CNI ADD 2021-04-26T12:27:20Z [debug] Gateway: 192.168.12.1 2021-04-26T12:27:20Z [debug] IP Source Addresses: [192.168.12.99/24] 2021-04-26T12:27:20Z [debug] IP Destinations: [80 UDP 10.0.0.99/30 8080 TCP 203.0.113.26/30 80 8443 TCP 203.0.113.27/30 443] 2021-04-26T12:27:20Z [debug] Created macvlan interface 2021-04-26T12:27:20Z [debug] Renamed macvlan to "net1" 2021-04-26T12:27:20Z [debug] Adding route to gateway 192.168.12.1 on macvlan interface 2021-04-26T12:27:20Z [debug] deleted default route {Ifindex: 3 Dst: <nil> Src: <nil> Gw: 10.128.10.1 Flags: [] Table: 254} 2021-04-26T12:27:20Z [debug] Added new default route with gateway 192.168.12.1 2021-04-26T12:27:20Z [debug] Added iptables rule: iptables -t nat PREROUTING -i eth0 -p UDP --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.0.0.99 2021-04-26T12:27:20Z [debug] Added iptables rule: iptables -t nat PREROUTING -i eth0 -p TCP --dport 8080 -j DNAT --to-destination 203.0.113.26:80 2021-04-26T12:27:20Z [debug] Added iptables rule: iptables -t nat PREROUTING -i eth0 -p TCP --dport 8443 -j DNAT --to-destination 203.0.113.27:443 2021-04-26T12:27:20Z [debug] Added iptables rule: iptables -t nat -o net1 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.12.99 The logging file location and logging level are not configurable when you start the egress router by creating an EgressRouter object as described in this procedure.

Enabling multicast for a project 26.22.1. About multicast With IP multicast, data is broadcast to many IP addresses simultaneously. Important At this time, multicast is best used for low-bandwidth coordination or service discovery and not a high-bandwidth solution. By default, network policies affect all connections in a namespace. However, multicast is unaffected by network policies. If multicast is enabled in the same namespace as your network policies, it is always allowed, even if there is a deny-all network policy. Cluster administrators should consider the implications to the exemption of multicast from network policies before enabling it. Multicast traffic between OpenShift Container Platform pods is disabled by default. If you are using the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin, you can enable multicast on a per-project basis. 26.22.2. Enabling multicast between pods You can enable multicast between pods for your project. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You must log in to the cluster with a user that has the cluster-admin role. Procedure Run the following command to enable multicast for a project. Replace <namespace> with the namespace for the project you want to enable multicast for. USD oc annotate namespace <namespace> \ k8s.ovn.org/multicast-enabled=true Tip You can alternatively apply the following YAML to add the annotation: apiVersion: v1 kind: Namespace metadata: name: <namespace> annotations: k8s.ovn.org/multicast-enabled: "true" Verification To verify that multicast is enabled for a project, complete the following procedure: Change your current project to the project that you enabled multicast for. Replace <project> with the project name. USD oc project <project> Create a pod to act as a multicast receiver: USD cat <<EOF| oc create -f - apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: mlistener labels: app: multicast-verify spec: containers: - name: mlistener image: registry.access.redhat.com/ubi9 command: ["/bin/sh", "-c"] args: ["dnf -y install socat hostname && sleep inf"] ports: - containerPort: 30102 name: mlistener protocol: UDP EOF Create a pod to act as a multicast sender: USD cat <<EOF| oc create -f - apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: msender labels: app: multicast-verify spec: containers: - name: msender image: registry.access.redhat.com/ubi9 command: ["/bin/sh", "-c"] args: ["dnf -y install socat && sleep inf"] EOF In a new terminal window or tab, start the multicast listener. Get the IP address for the Pod: USD POD_IP=USD(oc get pods mlistener -o jsonpath='{.status.podIP}') Start the multicast listener by entering the following command: USD oc exec mlistener -i -t -- \ socat UDP4-RECVFROM:30102,ip-add-membership=224.1.0.1:USDPOD_IP,fork EXEC:hostname Start the multicast transmitter. Get the pod network IP address range: USD CIDR=USD(oc get Network.config.openshift.io cluster \ -o jsonpath='{.status.clusterNetwork[0].cidr}') To send a multicast message, enter the following command: USD oc exec msender -i -t -- \ /bin/bash -c "echo | socat STDIO UDP4-DATAGRAM:224.1.0.1:30102,range=USDCIDR,ip-multicast-ttl=64" If multicast is working, the command returns the following output: mlistener 26.23. Disabling multicast for a project 26.23.1. Disabling multicast between pods You can disable multicast between pods for your project. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You must log in to the cluster with a user that has the cluster-admin role. Procedure Disable multicast by running the following command: USD oc annotate namespace <namespace> \ 1 k8s.ovn.org/multicast-enabled- 1 The namespace for the project you want to disable multicast for. Tip You can alternatively apply the following YAML to delete the annotation: apiVersion: v1 kind: Namespace metadata: name: <namespace> annotations: k8s.ovn.org/multicast-enabled: null 26.24. Tracking network flows As a cluster administrator, you can collect information about pod network flows from your cluster to assist with the following areas: Monitor ingress and egress traffic on the pod network. Troubleshoot performance issues. Gather data for capacity planning and security audits. When you enable the collection of the network flows, only the metadata about the traffic is collected. For example, packet data is not collected, but the protocol, source address, destination address, port numbers, number of bytes, and other packet-level information is collected. The data is collected in one or more of the following record formats: NetFlow sFlow IPFIX When you configure the Cluster Network Operator (CNO) with one or more collector IP addresses and port numbers, the Operator configures Open vSwitch (OVS) on each node to send the network flows records to each collector. You can configure the Operator to send records to more than one type of network flow collector. For example, you can send records to NetFlow collectors and also send records to sFlow collectors. When OVS sends data to the collectors, each type of collector receives identical records. For example, if you configure two NetFlow collectors, OVS on a node sends identical records to the two collectors. If you also configure two sFlow collectors, the two sFlow collectors receive identical records. However, each collector type has a unique record format. Collecting the network flows data and sending the records to collectors affects performance. Nodes process packets at a slower rate. If the performance impact is too great, you can delete the destinations for collectors to disable collecting network flows data and restore performance. Note Enabling network flow collectors might have an impact on the overall performance of the cluster network. 26.24.1. Network object configuration for tracking network flows The fields for configuring network flows collectors in the Cluster Network Operator (CNO) are shown in the following table: Table 26.22. Network flows configuration Field Type Description metadata.name string The name of the CNO object. This name is always cluster . spec.exportNetworkFlows object One or more of netFlow , sFlow , or ipfix . spec.exportNetworkFlows.netFlow.collectors array A list of IP address and network port pairs for up to 10 collectors. spec.exportNetworkFlows.sFlow.collectors array A list of IP address and network port pairs for up to 10 collectors. spec.exportNetworkFlows.ipfix.collectors array A list of IP address and network port pairs for up to 10 collectors. After applying the following manifest to the CNO, the Operator configures Open vSwitch (OVS) on each node in the cluster to send network flows records to the NetFlow collector that is listening at 192.168.1.99:2056 . Example configuration for tracking network flows apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: Network metadata: name: cluster spec: exportNetworkFlows: netFlow: collectors: - 192.168.1.99:2056 26.24.2. Adding destinations for network flows collectors As a cluster administrator, you can configure the Cluster Network Operator (CNO) to send network flows metadata about the pod network to a network flows collector. Prerequisites You installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You are logged in to the cluster with a user with cluster-admin privileges. You have a network flows collector and know the IP address and port that it listens on. Procedure Create a patch file that specifies the network flows collector type and the IP address and port information of the collectors: spec: exportNetworkFlows: netFlow: collectors: - 192.168.1.99:2056 Configure the CNO with the network flows collectors: USD oc patch network.operator cluster --type merge -p "USD(cat <file_name>.yaml)" Example output network.operator.openshift.io/cluster patched Verification Verification is not typically necessary. You can run the following command to confirm that Open vSwitch (OVS) on each node is configured to send network flows records to one or more collectors. View the Operator configuration to confirm that the exportNetworkFlows field is configured: USD oc get network.operator cluster -o jsonpath="{.spec.exportNetworkFlows}" Example output {"netFlow":{"collectors":["192.168.1.99:2056"]}} View the network flows configuration in OVS from each node: USD for pod in USD(oc get pods -n openshift-ovn-kubernetes -l app=ovnkube-node -o jsonpath='{range@.items[*]}{.metadata.name}{"\n"}{end}'); do ; echo; echo USDpod; oc -n openshift-ovn-kubernetes exec -c ovnkube-controller USDpod \ -- bash -c 'for type in ipfix sflow netflow ; do ovs-vsctl find USDtype ; done'; done Example output ovnkube-node-xrn4p _uuid : a4d2aaca-5023-4f3d-9400-7275f92611f9 active_timeout : 60 add_id_to_interface : false engine_id : [] engine_type : [] external_ids : {} targets : ["192.168.1.99:2056"] ovnkube-node-z4vq9 _uuid : 61d02fdb-9228-4993-8ff5-b27f01a29bd6 active_timeout : 60 add_id_to_interface : false engine_id : [] engine_type : [] external_ids : {} targets : ["192.168.1.99:2056"]- ... 26.24.3. Deleting all destinations for network flows collectors As a cluster administrator, you can configure the Cluster Network Operator (CNO) to stop sending network flows metadata to a network flows collector. Prerequisites You installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You are logged in to the cluster with a user with cluster-admin privileges. Procedure Remove all network flows collectors: USD oc patch network.operator cluster --type='json' \ -p='[{"op":"remove", "path":"/spec/exportNetworkFlows"}]' Example output network.operator.openshift.io/cluster patched 26.24.4. Additional resources Network [operator.openshift.io/v1 ] 26.25. Configuring hybrid networking As a cluster administrator, you can configure the Red Hat OpenShift Networking OVN-Kubernetes network plugin to allow Linux and Windows nodes to host Linux and Windows workloads, respectively. 26.25.1. Configuring hybrid networking with OVN-Kubernetes You can configure your cluster to use hybrid networking with the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin. This allows a hybrid cluster that supports different node networking configurations. Note This configuration is necessary to run both Linux and Windows nodes in the same cluster. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Log in to the cluster as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Ensure that the cluster uses the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin. Procedure To configure the OVN-Kubernetes hybrid network overlay, enter the following command: USD oc patch networks.operator.openshift.io cluster --type=merge \ -p '{ "spec":{ "defaultNetwork":{ "ovnKubernetesConfig":{ "hybridOverlayConfig":{ "hybridClusterNetwork":[ { "cidr": "<cidr>", "hostPrefix": <prefix> } ], "hybridOverlayVXLANPort": <overlay_port> } } } } }' where: cidr Specify the CIDR configuration used for nodes on the additional overlay network. This CIDR must not overlap with the cluster network CIDR. hostPrefix Specifies the subnet prefix length to assign to each individual node. For example, if hostPrefix is set to 23 , then each node is assigned a /23 subnet out of the given cidr , which allows for 510 (2^(32 - 23) - 2) pod IP addresses. If you are required to provide access to nodes from an external network, configure load balancers and routers to manage the traffic. hybridOverlayVXLANPort Specify a custom VXLAN port for the additional overlay network. This is required for running Windows nodes in a cluster installed on vSphere, and must not be configured for any other cloud provider. The custom port can be any open port excluding the default 4789 port. For more information on this requirement, see the Microsoft documentation on Pod-to-pod connectivity between hosts is broken . Note Windows Server Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC): Windows Server 2019 is not supported on clusters with a custom hybridOverlayVXLANPort value because this Windows server version does not support selecting a custom VXLAN port. Example output network.operator.openshift.io/cluster patched To confirm that the configuration is active, enter the following command. It can take several minutes for the update to apply. USD oc get network.operator.openshift.io -o jsonpath="{.items[0].spec.defaultNetwork.ovnKubernetesConfig}" 26.25.2.
