IP considerations#

Before installing MKE, adopt the following practices when assigning IP addresses:

Ensure that your network and nodes support using a static IPv4 address and assign one to every node.

Avoid IP range conflicts. The following table lists the recommended addresses you can use to avoid IP range conflicts:

Component	Subnet	Range	Recommended IP address
MCR	`default-address-pools`	CIDR range for interface and bridge networks	172.17.0.0/16 - 172.30.0.0/16, 192.168.0.0/16
Swarm	`default-addr-pool`	CIDR range for Swarm overlay networks	10.0.0.0/8
Kubernetes	`pod-cidr`	CIDR range for Kubernetes pods	192.168.0.0/16
Kubernetes	`service-cluster-ip-range`	CIDR range for Kubernetes services	10.96.0.0/16 Minimum: 10.96.0.0/24
