# Flannel
|
||
|
|
||
|
Flannel is a network fabric for containers, designed for Kubernetes
|
||
|
|
||
|
Supported [backends](https://github.com/flannel-io/flannel/blob/master/Documentation/backends.md#wireguard): `vxlan`, `host-gw` and `wireguard`
|
||
|
|
||
|
**Warning:** You may encounter this [bug](https://github.com/coreos/flannel/pull/1282) with `VXLAN` backend, while waiting on a newer Flannel version the current workaround (`ethtool --offload flannel.1 rx off tx off`) is showcase in kubespray [networking test](tests/testcases/040_check-network-adv.yml:31).
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Verifying flannel install
|
||
|
|
||
|
* Flannel configuration file should have been created there
|
||
|
|
||
|
```ShellSession
|
||
|
cat /run/flannel/subnet.env
|
||
|
FLANNEL_NETWORK=10.233.0.0/18
|
||
|
FLANNEL_SUBNET=10.233.16.1/24
|
||
|
FLANNEL_MTU=1450
|
||
|
FLANNEL_IPMASQ=false
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
* Check if the network interface has been created
|
||
|
|
||
|
```ShellSession
|
||
|
ip a show dev flannel.1
|
||
|
4: flannel.1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1450 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default
|
||
|

|
||
|

|

|
||
|
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
* Try to run a container and check its ip address
|
||
|
|
||
|
```ShellSession
|
||
|
kubectl run test --image=busybox --command -- tail -f /dev/null
|
||
|
replicationcontroller "test" created
|
||
|
|
||
|
kubectl describe po test-34ozs | grep ^IP
|
||
|
IP: 10.233.16.2
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
```ShellSession
|
||
|
kubectl exec test-34ozs -- ip a show dev eth0
|
||
|
8: eth0@if9: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP,M-DOWN> mtu 1450 qdisc noqueue
