Parameter Description Default Required
IPAddressPools[] A list of ip address pools. See IPAddressPool. None False
L2Advertisements[] A list of Layer 2 advertisements. See L2Advertisement. None False
BGPAdvertisements[] A list of BGP advertisements. See BGPAdvertisement. None False
BGPPeers[] A list of BGP peers. See BGPPeer. None False
— — — —
IPAddressPool A list of IP address ranges over which MetalLB has authority. You can list multiple ranges in a single pool and they will all share the same settings. Each range can be either a CIDR prefix, or an explicit start-end range of IPs.
name Name for the address pool. None True
addresses[] A list of string representing CIRD or IP ranges. None True
autoAssign AutoAssign flag used to prevent MetalLB from automatic allocation for a pool. true False
— — — —
L2Advertisement L2Advertisement allows MetalLB to advertise the LoadBalancer IPs provided by the selected pools via L2.
ipAddressPools[] The list of IPAddressPool names to advertise. None True
name Name for the L2Advertisement. None False
— — — —
BGPAdvertisement BGPAdvertisement allows MetalLB to advertise the IPs coming from the selected ipAddressPools via BGP, setting the parameters of the BGP Advertisement.
aggregationLength The aggregation-length advertisement option lets you “roll up” the /32s into a larger prefix. Defaults to 32. Works for IPv4 addresses. 32 False
aggregationLengthV6 The aggregation-length advertisement option lets you “roll up” the /128s into a larger prefix. Defaults to 128. Works for IPv6 addresses. 128 False
communities[] The BGP communities to be associated with the announcement. Each item can be a community of the form 1234:1234 or the name of an alias defined in the Community CRD. None False
ipAddressPools[] The list of IPAddressPool names to be advertised via BGP. None True
localPref The BGP LOCAL_PREF attribute which is used by BGP best path algorithm, Path with higher localpref is preferred over one with lower localpref. None False
peers[] List of peer names. Limits the bgppeer to advertise the ips of the selected pools to. When empty, the loadbalancer IP is announced to all the BGPPeers configured. None False
— — — —
BGPPeer Peers for the BGP protocol.
holdTime Requested BGP hold time, per RFC4271. None False
keepaliveTime Requested BGP keepalive time, per RFC4271. None False
myASN AS number to use for the local end of the session. None True
password Authentication password for routers enforcing TCP MD5 authenticated sessions. None False
peerASN AS number to expect from the remote end of the session. None True
peerAddress Address to dial when establishing the session. None True
peerPort Port to dial when establishing the session. 179 False
routerID BGP router ID to advertise to the peer. None False
sourceAddress Source address to use when establishing the session. None False
password Authentication password for routers enforcing TCP MD5 authenticated sessions. None False
passwordSecret passwordSecret is a reference to the authentication secret for BGP Peer. The secret must be of type ‘kubernetes.io/basic-auth’ and the password stored under the “password” key. Example: 
passwordSecret:
  name: mySecret
  namespace: metallb-system
 None False
