F5SPKStaticRoute¶

Overview¶

The F5SPKStaticRoute Custom Resource (CR) configures the Service Proxy (SPK) Traffic Management Microkernal’s (TMM) static routing table.

This document guides you through a basic static route CR deployment.

Parameters¶

The CR spec parameters used to configure the Service Proxy TMM static routing table are:

Parameter	Description
`destination`	The IPv4 Address routing destination.
`prefixlen`	The IPv4 address subnet mask.
`gateway`	The IPv4 address of the routing gateway.
`destination_v6`	The IPv6 Address routing destination.
`prefixlen_v6`	The IPv6 address subnet mask.
`gateway_v6`	The IPv6 address of the routing gateway.
`type`	Type of route to set. The default is gateway.

Example CR:

apiVersion: "k8s.f5net.com/v1"
kind: F5SPKStaticRoute
metadata:
  name: "staticroute-ipv4"
  namespace: spk-ingress
spec:
  destination: 10.10.1.100
  prefixLen: 32
  type: gateway
  gateway: 10.146.134.1

Requirements¶

Ensure you have:

Uploaded the Software images.
Installed the Ingress Controller Pods.
Have a Linux based workstation.

Deployment¶

Use the following steps to deploy the example F5SPKStaticRoute CR, and verify the Service Proxy TMM configuration.

Copy the Example CR into a YAML file:

apiVersion: "k8s.f5net.com/v1"
kind: F5SPKStaticRoute
metadata:
  name: "staticroute-ipv4"
  namespace: spk-ingress
spec:
  destination: 10.10.1.100
  prefixLen: 32
  type: gateway
  gateway: 10.146.134.1

Install the F5SPKStaticRoute CR:
```
oc apply -f spk-static-route.yaml
```
To verify the static route, log in to the Service Proxy TMM container and show the routing table:

In this example, TMM is installed in the spk-ingress Project:
```
oc exec -it deploy/f5-tmm -n spk-ingress -- bash
```
```
ip route
```
In this example, the gateway IP address is a remote host on TMM’s external VLAN:
```
default via 169.254.0.254 dev tmm
10.10.1.100 via 10.146.134.1 dev external
10.20.2.0/24 dev external proto kernel scope link src 10.146.134.2
```
