Network
Networking is a central part of Kubernetes. The Kubernetes network model is implemented by the container runtime on each server node.
Configuration
It is strongly recommended to set a dedicated VLAN and static IP addresses for each cluster node, in order to isolate your cluster. Clusters require to allocate non-overlapping IP addresses for Pods, Services and Nodes, from a range of available addresses.
VLAN
In your router, set a new VLAN with IPv6 disabled:
Into above example, the VLAN ID is set to 4 and the subnet netmask to 25, allowing you to set up to 125 usable hosts, used for your nodes and Kubernetes external IP services.
Static IP Address
For each server node, set the static IP address associated with related network interface MAC address:
Internet Connectivity
Login into a server node and test the network connectivity with outside world:
curl -I https://one.one.one.oneThe expected output should be:
