Install Gateway API CRDs

The BNK supports the Gateway API v1.2.0 standard CRDs and utilizes its route resources such as HTTPRoute and GRPCRoute to configure BNK to route Ingress traffic. Gateway API users must specify BNK controller (f5-cne-controller) in GatewayClass CR. This will make BNK controller recognize the GatewayClass and set up the TMM accordingly, see Gateway API.
