11.2. Updating node network configuration

PDF

You can update the node network configuration, such as adding or removing interfaces from nodes, by applying NodeNetworkConfigurationPolicy manifests to the cluster.

11.2.1. About nmstate

OpenShift Virtualization uses nmstate to report on and configure the state of the node network. This makes it possible to modify network policy configuration, such as by creating a Linux bridge on all nodes, by applying a single configuration manifest to the cluster.

Node networking is monitored and updated by the following objects:

NodeNetworkState: Reports the state of the network on that node.
NodeNetworkConfigurationPolicy: Describes the requested network configuration on nodes. You update the node network configuration, including adding and removing interfaces, by applying a NodeNetworkConfigurationPolicy manifest to the cluster.
NodeNetworkConfigurationEnactment: Reports the network policies enacted upon each node.

OpenShift Virtualization supports the use of the following nmstate interface types:

Linux Bridge
VLAN
Bond
Ethernet

11.2.2. Creating an interface on nodes

Create an interface on nodes in the cluster by applying a NodeNetworkConfigurationPolicy manifest to the cluster. The manifest details the requested configuration for the interface.

By default, the manifest applies to all nodes in the cluster. To add the interface to specific nodes, add the spec: nodeSelector parameter and the appropriate <key>:<value> for your node selector.

Procedure

Create the NodeNetworkConfigurationPolicy manifest. The following example configures a Linux bridge on all worker nodes:

apiVersion: nmstate.io/v1alpha1
kind: NodeNetworkConfigurationPolicy
metadata:
  name: <br1-eth1-policy> 1
spec:
  nodeSelector: 2
    node-role.kubernetes.io/worker: "" 3
  desiredState:
    interfaces:
      - name: br1
        description: Linux bridge with eth1 as a port 4
        type: linux-bridge
        state: up
        ipv4:
          dhcp: true
          enabled: true
        bridge:
          options:
            stp:
              enabled: false
          port:
            - name: eth1

1: Name of the Policy.
2: Optional: If you do not include the nodeSelector, the Policy applies to all nodes in the cluster.
3: This example uses the node-role.kubernetes.io/worker: "" node selector to select all worker nodes in the cluster.
4: Optional: Human-readable description for the interface.

Create the Policy:
```
$ oc apply -f <br1-eth1-policy.yaml> 1
```
1
File name of the Policy manifest.

11.2.3. Confirming Policy updates on nodes

A NodeNetworkConfigurationPolicy manifest describes your requested network configuration for nodes in the cluster. The Policy object includes your requestd network configuration and the status of execution of the Policy on the cluster as a whole.

When you apply a Policy, a NodeNetworkConfigurationEnactment is created for every node in the cluster. The Enactment is a read-only object that represents the status of execution of the Policy on that node. If the Policy fails to be applied on the node, the Enactment for that node includes a traceback for troubleshooting.

Procedure

To confirm that a Policy has been applied to the cluster, list the Policies and their status:
```
$ oc get nncp
```
Optional: If a Policy is taking longer than expected to successfully configure, you can inspect the requested state and status conditions of a particular Policy:
```
$ oc get nncp <policy> -o yaml
```
Optional: If a policy is taking longer than expected to successfully configure on all nodes, you can list the status of the Enactments on the cluster:
```
$ oc get nnce
```
Optional: To view the configuration of a particular Enactment, including any error reporting for a failed configuration:
```
$ oc get nnce <node>.<policy> -o yaml
```

11.2.4. Removing an interface from nodes

Remove an interface from nodes by editing the NodeNetworkConfigurationPolicy object and set the state of the interface to absent.

注意

Deleting the Policy that added an interface does not change the configuration of the network policy on the node. Although a NodeNetworkConfigurationPolicy is an object in the cluster, it only represents the requested configuration.
Similarly, removing an interface does not delete the Policy.

Procedure

Update the NodeNetworkConfigurationPolicy manifest used to create the interface. The following example removes a Linux bridge:
```
apiVersion: nmstate.io/v1alpha1
kind: NodeNetworkConfigurationPolicy
metadata:
  name: <br1-eth1-policy> 1
spec:
  nodeSelector: 2
    node-role.kubernetes.io/worker: "" 3
  desiredState:
    interfaces:
      - name: br1
        type: linux-bridge
        state: absent 4
```
1
Name of the Policy.
2
Optional: If you do not include the nodeSelector, the Policy applies to all nodes in the cluster.
3
This example uses the node-role.kubernetes.io/worker: "" node selector to select all worker nodes in the cluster.
4
Changing the state to absent removes the interface.
Update the Policy on the node and remove the interface:
```
$ oc apply -f <br1-eth1-policy.yaml> 1
```
1
File name of the Policy manifest.

11.2.5. Restoring node network configuration after removing an interface

Removing an interface from a node does not automatically restore the node network configuration to a previous state. After you remove an interface, any of the node NICs throughout the cluster that were previously attached or subordinate to the interface are placed in a down state. Restore the NICs by applying a new NodeNetworkConfigurationPolicy manifest to the cluster.

Procedure

Create a NodeNetworkConfigurationPolicy manifest that specifies the NIC and the desired state of up:

apiVersion: nmstate.io/v1alpha1
kind: NodeNetworkConfigurationPolicy
metadata:
  name: eth1
spec:
  desiredState:
    interfaces:
    - name: eth1
      type: ethernet
      state: up
      ipv4:
        dhcp: true
        enabled: true

Apply the manifest to the cluster:
```
$ oc apply -f <eth1.yaml> 1
```
1
File name of the Policy manifest.

The following example snippet creates a bond that is named bond10 across two NICs and a Linux bridge that is named br1 that connects to the bond.

...
    interfaces:
    - name: bond10
      description: Bonding eth2 and eth3 for Linux bridge
      type: bond
      state: up
      link-aggregation:
        slaves:
        - eth2
        - eth3
    - name: br1
      description: Linux bridge on bond
      type: linux-bridge
      state: up
      bridge:
        port:
        - name: bond10
...

11.2.7. Examples: IP management

The following example configuration snippets demonstrate different methods of IP management.

These examples use the ethernet interface type to simplify the example while showing the related context in the Policy configuration. These IP management examples can be used with the other interface types.

11.2.7.1. Static

The following snippet statically configures an IP address on the Ethernet interface:

...
    interfaces:
    - name: eth1
      description: static IP on eth1
      type: ethernet
      state: up
      ipv4:
        address:
        - ip: 192.168.122.250 1
          prefix-length: 24
        enabled: true
...

1: Replace this value with the static IP address for the interface.

11.2.7.2. No IP address

The following snippet ensures that the interface has no IP address:

...
    interfaces:
    - name: eth1
      description: No IP on eth1
      type: ethernet
      state: up
      ipv4:
        enabled: false
...

11.2.7.3. Dynamic host configuration

The following snippet configures an Ethernet interface that uses a dynamic IP address, gateway address, and DNS:

...
    interfaces:
    - name: eth1
      description: DHCP on eth1
      type: ethernet
      state: up
      ipv4:
        dhcp: true
        enabled: true
...

The following snippet configures an Ethernet interface that uses a dynamic IP address but does not use a dynamic gateway address or DNS:

...
    interfaces:
    - name: eth1
      description: DHCP without gateway or DNS on eth1
      type: ethernet
      state: up
      ipv4:
        dhcp: true
        auto-gateway: false
        auto-dns: false
        enabled: true
...

11.2.7.4. DNS

The following snippet sets DNS configuration on the host.

...
    interfaces:
       ...
    dns-resolver:
      config:
        search:
        - example.com
        - example.org
        server:
        - 8.8.8.8
...

11.2.7.5. Static routing

The following snippet configures a static route and a static IP on interface eth1.

...
    interfaces:
    - name: eth1
      description: Static routing on eth1
      type: ethernet
      state: up
      ipv4:
        address:
        - ip: 192.0.2.251 1
          prefix-length: 24
        enabled: true
    routes:
      config:
      - destination: 198.51.100.0/24
        metric: 150
        next-hop-address: 192.0.2.1 2
        next-hop-interface: eth1
        table-id: 254
...

1: The static IP address for the Ethernet interface.
2: Next hop address for the node traffic. This must be in the same subnet as the IP address set for the Ethernet interface.
