Vlan Support

The Vlan support is still in early stage, the usage might change later

By default, Kube-OVN use Geneve to encapsulate packets between hosts, which will build an overlay network above your infrastructure. Kube-OVN also support underlay Vlan mode network for better performance and throughput. In Vlan mode, the packets will send directly to physical switches with vlan tags.

To enable Vlan mode, a dedicated network interface is required by container network. The related switch port must work in trunk mode to accept 802.1q packets.

By now, Geneve or Vlan network mode is a global install option, all container must work in the same network mode. We are working at combine two networks in one cluster.

Install Vlan mode

  1. Get the installation script

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alauda/kube-ovn/release-1.4/dist/images/install.sh

  1. Edit the install.sh, modify NETWORK_TYPE to vlan, VLAN_INTERFACE_NAME to related host interface.

  2. Install Kube-OVN

Create vlan cr

apiVersion: kubeovn.io/v1
kind: Vlan
metadata:
  name: product
spec:
  vlanId: 10

Create namespace

apiVersion: v1
kind: Namespace
metadata:
  name: product
  labels:
    name: product

Create subnet

Multiple Subnets can bind to one Vlan

apiVersion: kubeovn.io/v1
kind: Subnet
metadata:
  name: product
spec:
  cidrBlock: 10.100.0.0/16
  default: false
  gateway: 10.100.0.1
  gatewayType: distributed
  natOutgoing: true
  vlan: product
  underlayGateway: true # If the gateway exist in physical switch please set underlayGateway to true, otherwise kube-ovn will create a virtual one
  namespaces:
    - product

Create sample pod

kubectl run samplepod --image=nginx --namespace=product
