OVN-Kubernetes provides a mechanism to control and direct outbound network traffic from specific namespaces and pods. This ensures that it exits the cluster through a particular network interface and with a specific egress IP address.

* If a network interface is removed or if the IP address and subnet mask which allows the egress IP address to be hosted on the interface is removed, the egress IP address is reconfigured. Consequently, the egress IP address could be assigned to another node and interface.

* You understand that if a network interface is removed or if the IP address and subnet mask which allows the egress IP address to be hosted on the interface is removed, reconfiguration of the egress IP address occurs. Consequently, the egress IP address might get assigned to another node and interface.

* You configured a NIC with routes by ensuring a gateway exists in the main routing table. As a postinstallation task, Red Hat does not support configuring a NIC on a cluster that uses OVN-Kubernetes.

* Routes associated with an egress interface get copied from the main routing table to the routing table that was created to support the Egress IP object.
