      Description of problem:  A ocp 4.16 documentation: https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/openshift_container_platform/4.16/html/installing_on_any_platform/installing-platform-agnostic#installation-network-connectivity-user-infra_installing-platform-agnostic  describs to add certain UDP ports which were being used in sdn built cluster but currently not being used in OVN OpenShift cluster.  

      Protocol Port Description
      --------
      -----------
      UDP 4789 VXLAN
      UDP 6081 GENEVE

       
      4789 (VXLAN) port, this port is used in OpenShiftSDN clusters but not used in OVN-Kubernetes clusters.
      The documentation also defines some ovn UDP 6081 geneve port in the SDN-based version which are again not being used in the sdn cluster.
      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

      The OVN based documentations like 4.16 + have this port included as required.
      The SDN based documentations like 4.12 have the geneve port 6081 included as required which is not the case for SDN clusters.

      How reproducible: Use netstat command in the sdn and ovn based clusters to check if they are being used. 

      Steps to Reproduce:

      sh-5.1# netstat -tulnp | grep -i 4789

      1. From 4.18 OVN based cluster version.

      NO OUTPUT

      2. From 4.12 SDN based cluster version.

      sh-4.4# netstat -tulnp | grep -i 4789
      udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:4789       0.0.0.0:*         -                   
      udp6       0      0 :::4789                 :::*         -    

       

       

      Actual results: The 4789 port is not being used in the OVN cluster.

      Expected results: Actual result is same as expected result.

      Additional info:

      The 4.16.x + (OVN based) version don't use the VXLAN port. Hence, no need to mention them in the Network connectivity required port section. 

      Affected Platforms:

      • 4.16.x
