Address ranges

Recommended IP ranges for Multus networks ensure sufficient address space for Fusion Data Foundation deployments.

The following table recommends IP ranges for each Multus network or subnetwork:

Table 1. Recommended IP ranges
Network Network range CIDR Approximate maximum Public or cluster network
Pod public network 192.168.240.0/21 Total of 1600 Fusion Data Foundation pods Public network
Pod cluster network 192.168.248.0/22 800 OSDs Cluster network
Public node network 192.168.252.0/23 400 OpenShift worker+storage nodes Public network

This should suffice for most organizations. The recommendation uses the last 6.25% (1/16th) of the reserved private address space (192.168.0.0/16). Approximate maximum Fusion Data Foundation and OpenShift sizing is noted, which accounts for 25% overhead to gracefully handle failure events.
