DualStackCIDRs

Underlying type: CIDR

Validation: - MaxItems: 2 - MinItems: 1

Appears in: - Layer2Config - Layer3Config

Layer2Config

Appears in: - NetworkSpec - UserDefinedNetworkSpec

Field Description Default Validation
role NetworkRole Role describes the network role in the pod.

Allowed value is "Secondary".
Secondary network is only assigned to pods that use k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks annotation to select given network.
Enum: [Primary Secondary]
Required: {}
mtu integer MTU is the maximum transmission unit for a network.
MTU is optional, if not provided, the globally configured value in OVN-Kubernetes (defaults to 1400) is used for the network.
Maximum: 65536
Minimum: 0
subnets DualStackCIDRs Subnets are used for the pod network across the cluster.
Dual-stack clusters may set 2 subnets (one for each IP family), otherwise only 1 subnet is allowed.

The format should match standard CIDR notation (for example, "10.128.0.0/16").
This field may be omitted. In that case the logical switch implementing the network only provides layer 2 communication,
and users must configure IP addresses for the pods. As a consequence, Port security only prevents MAC spoofing.
MaxItems: 2
MinItems: 1
joinSubnets DualStackCIDRs JoinSubnets are used inside the OVN network topology.

Dual-stack clusters may set 2 subnets (one for each IP family), otherwise only 1 subnet is allowed.
This field is only allowed for "Primary" network.
It is not recommended to set this field without explicit need and understanding of the OVN network topology.
When omitted, the platform will choose a reasonable default which is subject to change over time.
MaxItems: 2
MinItems: 1
ipamLifecycle NetworkIPAMLifecycle IPAMLifecycle controls IP addresses management lifecycle.

The only allowed value is Persistent. When set, OVN Kubernetes assigned IP addresses will be persisted in an
ipamclaims.k8s.cni.cncf.io object. These IP addresses will be reused by other pods if requested.
Only supported when "subnets" are set.
Enum: [Persistent]

Layer3Config

Appears in: - NetworkSpec - UserDefinedNetworkSpec

Field Description Default Validation
role NetworkRole Role describes the network role in the pod.

Allowed values are "Primary" and "Secondary".
Primary network is automatically assigned to every pod created in the same namespace.
Secondary network is only assigned to pods that use k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks annotation to select given network.
Enum: [Primary Secondary]
Required: {}
mtu integer MTU is the maximum transmission unit for a network.

MTU is optional, if not provided, the globally configured value in OVN-Kubernetes (defaults to 1400) is used for the network.
Maximum: 65536
Minimum: 0
subnets Layer3Subnet array Subnets are used for the pod network across the cluster.

Dual-stack clusters may set 2 subnets (one for each IP family), otherwise only 1 subnet is allowed.
Given subnet is split into smaller subnets for every node.
MaxItems: 2
MinItems: 1
joinSubnets DualStackCIDRs JoinSubnets are used inside the OVN network topology.

Dual-stack clusters may set 2 subnets (one for each IP family), otherwise only 1 subnet is allowed.
This field is only allowed for "Primary" network.
It is not recommended to set this field without explicit need and understanding of the OVN network topology.
When omitted, the platform will choose a reasonable default which is subject to change over time.
MaxItems: 2
MinItems: 1

Layer3Subnet

Appears in: - Layer3Config

Field Description Default Validation
cidr CIDR CIDR specifies L3Subnet, which is split into smaller subnets for every node.
hostSubnet integer HostSubnet specifies the subnet size for every node.

When not set, it will be assigned automatically.
Maximum: 127
Minimum: 1

Appears in: - ClusterUserDefinedNetworkSpec

Field Description Default Validation
