This describes a setup where the IPAM component is deployed. It is agnostic of the IP version. All examples are given with IPv4 but could be IPv6.
An IPPool is an object representing a set of IP addresses pools to be used for IP address allocations.
Example pool:
apiVersion: ipam.metal3.io/v1alpha1
kind: IPPool
metadata:
name: pool1
spec:
clusterName: cluster1
pools:
- start: 192.168.0.10
end: 192.168.0.30
prefix: 25
gateway: 192.168.0.1
- subnet: 192.168.1.1/26
- subnet: 192.168.1.128/25
prefix: 24
gateway: 192.168.1.1
preAllocations:
claim1: 192.168.0.12
The spec field contains the following :
- clusterName: That is the name of the cluster to which this pool belongs it is used to verify whether the resource is paused.
- pools: this is a list of IP address pools
- prefix: This is a default prefix for this IPPool
- gateway: This is a default gateway for this IPPool
The prefix and gateway can be overridden per pool. The pool definition is as follows :
- start: the IP range start address. Can be omitted if subnet is set.
- end: the IP range end address. Can be omitted.
- subnet: the subnet for the allocation. Can be omitted if start is set. It is used to verify that the allocated address belongs to this subnet.
- prefix: override of the default prefix for this pool
- gateway: override of the default gateway for this pool
An IPClaim is an object representing a request for an IP address allocation.
Example pool:
apiVersion: ipam.metal3.io/v1alpha1
kind: IPClaim
metadata:
name: claim1
spec:
pool:
Name: pool1
The spec field contains the following :
- pool: a reference to the IPPool this request is for
An IPAddress is an object representing an IP address allocation.
Example pool:
apiVersion: ipam.metal3.io/v1alpha1
kind: IPAddress
metadata:
name: pool1-192-168-0-13
spec:
pool:
Name: pool1
claim:
Name: claim1
address: 192.168.0.13
prefix: 24
gateway: 192.168.0.1
The spec field contains the following :
- pool: a reference to the IPPool this address is for
- claim: a reference to the IPClaim this address is for
- address: the allocated IP address
- prefix: the prefix for this address
- gateway: the gateway for this address
