The module is not enabled by default in any bundles.

How to explicitly enable the module…

Set the spec.enabled module parameter to true or false in the ModuleConfig/metallb resource (create it, if necessary) to explicitly enable or disable the module, or use the deckhouse-controller module command in the d8-system/deckhouse pod.

Example of enabling the module:

  • by using the ModuleConfig resource:

    apiVersion: deckhouse.io/v1alpha1
kind: ModuleConfig
metadata:
  name: metallb
spec:
  enabled: true

  • by using the deckhouse-controller command (you need a kubectl, configured to work with the cluster):

    kubectl -ti -n d8-system exec svc/deckhouse-leader -c deckhouse -- deckhouse-controller module enable metallb

Example of disabling the module:

  • by using the ModuleConfig resource:

    apiVersion: deckhouse.io/v1alpha1
kind: ModuleConfig
metadata:
  name: metallb
spec:
  enabled: false

  • by using the deckhouse-controller command (you need a kubectl, configured to work with the cluster):

    kubectl -ti -n d8-system exec svc/deckhouse-leader -c deckhouse -- deckhouse-controller module disable metallb

The module is configured using the ModuleConfig custom resource named metallb (learn more about setting up Deckhouse…).

Example of the ModuleConfig/metallb resource for configuring the module:

apiVersion: deckhouse.io/v1alpha1
kind: ModuleConfig
metadata:
  name: metallb
spec:
  version: 1
  enabled: true

  • settings
    object
    • settings.addressPools
      array of objects

      A list of IP ranges to assign to services.

      Format — a data array similar to that of MetalLB’s.

      Default: []

      • settings.addressPools.addresses
        array of strings

        A list of ranges, where each range can look like a subnet/mask or a numeric address range (with “-“ as a delimiter).

      • settings.addressPools.auto-assign
        boolean

        Auto-assign flag used to prevent MetalLB from automatic allocation for a pool.

        Default: true

      • settings.addressPools.avoid-buggy-ips
        boolean

        Prevents addresses ending with .0 and .255 to be used by a pool.

        Default: false

      • settings.addressPools.bgp-advertisements
        array of objects

        Defines BGP advertisements.

        • settings.addressPools.bgp-advertisements.aggregation-length
          integer

          The aggregation-length advertisement option lets you “roll up” prefix into a larger one.

          Works for IPv4 addresses.

          Default: 32

          Allowed values: 1 <= X

        • settings.addressPools.bgp-advertisements.communities
          array of strings

          Keys from the bgpCommunities parameter to be associated with the announcement.

          Example:

          communities:
- no-advertise
        • settings.addressPools.bgp-advertisements.localpref
          integer

          The BGP LOCAL_PREF attribute which is used by BGP best path algorithm.

          Path with higher localpref is preferred over one with lower localpref.

      • settings.addressPools.name
        string

        The name of the pool (you can specify it using the service annotation as follows: metallb.universe.tf/address-pool: <name>). It should conform to RFC 1123: dot-separated parts in lowercase, consists of alphanumeric characters, ‘-‘. Each part must start and end with an alphanumeric character.

        Pattern: ^[a-z0-9]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?(\.[a-z0-9]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?)*$

      • settings.addressPools.protocol
        string

        The protocol used by the speaker to announce services.

        Allowed values: bgp, layer2

    • settings.bgpCommunities
      object

      The BGP communities list.

      Example:

      bgpCommunities:
  no-advertise: 65535:65282
    • settings.bgpPeers
      array of objects

      A list of external BGP routers to use with the module.

      Format — a data array similar to that of MetalLB’s.

      The parameter is optional if only the layer2 mode is used to announce services.

      Default: []

      • settings.bgpPeers.hold-time
        integer or string

        The timeout after which the neighboring BGP peer is considered dead. This value is divided by three to get the keep-alive interval.

        The recommended value is 3s (i.e., keep-alive packets are sent once per second). Note that the BGP protocol does not support values lower than this. By default, the parameter is set to 90s (i.e., keep-alive packets are sent every 30 seconds).

        Pattern: ^(0|(([0-9]+)y)?(([0-9]+)w)?(([0-9]+)d)?(([0-9]+)h)?(([0-9]+)m)?(([0-9]+)s)?(([0-9]+)ms)?)$

      • settings.bgpPeers.my-asn

            array of strings
        • settings.bgpPeers.node-selector.matchLabels
          object
      • settings.bgpPeers.password
        string

        Authentication password for routers enforcing TCP MD5 authenticated sessions.

      • settings.bgpPeers.peer-address

    • settings.loadBalancerClass
      string

      Optional field specifying the class of the LoadBalancer. The LoadBalancerClass field is mandatory when using both the metallb and l2-load-balancer modules simultaneously. It is also recommended to fill it in if there are third-party controllers in the cluster that manage Service resources with the LoadBalancer type.
