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
