| Flannel is a network layer, layer three, fabric for Kubernetes. It is designed to work with Linux routing infrastructure and creates a virtual network that gives each computing host a subnet. Flannel uses either the Kubernetes API or etcd directly to store the network configuration, the allocated subnets, and any auxiliary data such as the host’s public IP address. To learn more about Flannel, refer to the [official documentation](https://github.com/flannel-io/flannel/tree/master?tab=readme-ov-file#how-it-works). | ||
|
|
||
| The Flannel pack includes the Container Network Interface (CNI) plugins required use Flannel in your cluster. | ||

|
|
||
| <Tabs queryString="versions"> | ||
| <TabItem value="0.23.x" label="0.23.x"> | ||
|
|
||
| ### Prerequisites | ||
|
|
||
| - Kubernetes version 1.22 or later. | ||
|
|
||
| - Existing cluster profiles that use Flannel version 0.21.x or earlier cannot upgrade to Flannel version 0.23.x. You must create a new cluster profile to use Flannel version 0.23.x. All Flannel versions 0.21.x and earlier are manifest based. The newer versions are pack based with additional logic that builds on top of the Helm chart. | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| ## Parameters | ||
|
|
||
| The following table lists commonly used parameters for Flannel version 0.23.x. Refer to the pack YAML file for the complete list of parameters. | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| | Parameter | Description | Default | | ||
| | --- | --- | --- | | ||
| | `pack.namespace`| The namespace to install Flannel. If the namespace does not exist, it will be created. | `kube-system` | | ||
| | `charts.flannel.podCidr`| The IPv4 CIDR range to assign to the pod network. This should match the Kubernetes `PodCIDR`. | `192.168.0.0/16` | | ||
| | `charts.flannel.podCidrv6`| The IPv6 CIDR range to assign to the service network. | `""` | | ||
| | `charts.flannel.backend`| The backend to use for Flannel. Refer to the official [backend documentation](https://github.com/flannel-io/flannel/blob/v0.23.0/Documentation/backends.md) to learn more about supported backends. | `vxlan` | | ||
| | `charts.flannel.image_cni.repository`| The Flannel CNI image repository. | `docker.io/flannel/flannel-cni-plugin` | | ||
| | `charts.flannel.image_cni.tag`| The Flannel CNI image tag. | `v1.1.2` | | ||
| | `charts.flannel.args`| Additional arguments to pass to the Flannel daemon. Refer to the [key command line options documentation](https://github.com/flannel-io/flannel/blob/v0.23.0/Documentation/configuration.md#key-command-line-options) for a list of supported values. | `["--ip-masq","--kube-subnet-mgr"]` | | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| ## Usage | ||
|
|
||
| ### Change the Backend | ||
|
|
||
| If you need to change the backend type or update the backend port due to firewall or other restrictions, you can do so by updating the pack YAML. The parameters `charts.flannel.backend` and `charts.flannel.backendPort` can be used to change the default behavior. Refer to the official [backend documentation](https://github.com/flannel-io/flannel/blob/v0.23.0/Documentation/backends.md) to learn more about supported backends. | ||
|
|
||
| ```yaml | ||
| charts: | ||
| flannel: | ||
| backend: "vxlan" | ||
| backendPort: 8472 | ||
| ``` | ||
| ### Change MTU | ||
| By default, Flannel will use the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) of the host interface. If you need to change the MTU, you can do so by updating the pack YAML. The parameter `charts.flannel.mtu` can be used to change the MTU value. | ||
|
|
||
| ```yaml | ||
| charts: | ||
| flannel: | ||
| mtu: 1500 | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| ### VXLAN Configuration | ||
|
|
||
| Additional parameters can be used to configure the VXLAN backend. The VXLAN configuration is commented out by default in the pack YAML. Uncomment the parameters you want to use and update the values as needed. Refer to the [VXLAN backend documentation](https://github.com/flannel-io/flannel/blob/v0.23.0/Documentation/backends.md) for additional guidance. | ||
