Summary

  • Guide for connecting KubeVirt VMs to a physical fabric using CUDN Localnet topology with VLAN tagging on br-ex
  • Covers single-NIC trunk mode: node management (untagged) + VM tenant traffic (tagged VLANs) on the same switch port
  • Step-by-step setup: NMState, NNCP bridge-mappings, CUDN with Localnet topology, VM creation, jump pod SSH access
  • Multi-cluster IP partitioning via excludeSubnets
  • Verified test results across all connectivity combinations:
    • Same virtual network, same cluster (L2, TTL=64)
    • Same virtual network, cross-cluster (L2, TTL=64)
    • Different virtual networks, same VPC/VRF (L3, TTL=63, requires manual routes)
    • Different virtual networks, different VPCs/VRFs (isolated)
    • SNAT via fabric vs pod network (different public IPs)
  • Mermaid diagrams for all networking flows and OVN internal architecture
  • Troubleshooting section including masquerade subnet collision (10.0.2.0/24) and virtctl ssh breakage

Test plan

All tests were run on 2 SNO clusters (OCP 4.21 and 4.22) on a managed fabric with 2 virtual networks (VLAN 3 and VLAN 5). Results documented in the guide.

Document how to connect KubeVirt VMs to a physical fabric using
CUDN Localnet topology with VLAN tagging on br-ex. Covers setup,
multi-cluster IP partitioning, and verified test results across
all connectivity combinations (same/different vnet, same/different
VPC, same/different cluster). Includes Mermaid diagrams for all
networking flows.
