Modify IP address pools#

You must use the kubectl Kubernetes command line tool to modify existing IP address pools in MKE.

  1. Obtain all of the IP address pools that are configured to MKE:

    kubectl get IPAddressPools -n metallb-system

    Example output:

    NAME                       AUTO ASSIGN   AVOID BUGGY IPS   ADDRESSES
<IP-address-pool-name-1>   true          false             ["192.168.10.0/24","192.168.1.0/24"]
<IP-address-pool-name-2>   true          false             ["52.205.10.1/24"]
<IP-address-pool-name-3>   true          false             ["54.205.10.1/24"]

  2. Modify the target IP address pool entries in the cluster_config.metallb_config configuration option of the Configuration options.

  3. Run the following kubectl command to modify the target IP address pools:

    kubectl delete IPAddressPool <IP-address-pool-name-3> -n metallb-system

  4. Restart MetalLB Controller to ensure that any persisting services set to use modified IP address pools receive new IPs:

    kubectl rollout restart deployment controller -n metallb-system

    Example output:

    deployment.apps/controller restarted
