Chapter 10. Assigning an egress IP address

Procedure

1. Create an EgressIP object:

   1. Create a <egressips_name>.yaml file where <egressips_name> is the name of the object.

   2. 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

2. To create the object, enter the following command.

   $ oc apply -f <egressips_name>.yaml

   Replace <egressips_name> with the name of the object.

   Example output

   egressips.k8s.ovn.org/<egressips_name> created

3. Optional: Store the <egressips_name>.yaml file so that you can make changes later.

4. 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:

   $ oc label ns <namespace> env=qa
