Labeling a node to host egress IP addresses

You can apply the k8s.ovn.org/egress-assignable="" label to a node in your cluster so that Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform can assign one or more egress IP addresses to the node.

Prerequisites
  • You installed the OpenShift CLI (oc).

  • You logged in to the cluster as a cluster administrator.

Procedure
  • To label a node so that it can host one or more egress IP addresses, enter the following command:

    $ oc label nodes <node_name> k8s.ovn.org/egress-assignable=""
    <node_name>

    Specifies the name of the node to label.

    Tip

    You can alternatively apply the following YAML to add the label to a node:

    apiVersion: v1
    kind: Node
    metadata:
      labels:
        k8s.ovn.org/egress-assignable: ""
      name: <node_name>
