*IP in IP* and *VXLAN* is mutualy exclusive modes. *IP in IP* and *VXLAN* is mutualy exclusive modes.
Kubespray defaults have changed after version 2.18 from auto-enabling `ipip` mode to auto-enabling `vxlan`. This was done to facilitate wider deployment scenarios including those where vxlan acceleration is provided by the underlying network devices.
If you are running your cluster with the default calico settings and are upgrading to a release post 2.18.x (i.e. 2.19 and later or `master` branch) then you have two options:
* perform a manual migration to vxlan before upgrading kubespray (see migrating from IP in IP to VXLAN below)
* pin the pre-2.19 settings in your ansible inventory (see IP in IP mode settings below)
### IP in IP mode ### IP in IP mode

### VXLAN mode (default)
To configure VXLAN mode you can use the default settings, the example below is provided for your reference.
```yml
calico_ipip_mode: 'Never'
calico_vxlan_mode: 'Always' # Possible values is `Always`, `CrossSubnet`, `Never`.
calico_network_backend: 'vxlan'
```
In VXLAN mode BGP networking is not required.
We disable BGP to reduce the moving parts in your cluster by `calico_network_backend: vxlan`

### Migrating from IP in IP to VXLAN
If you would like to migrate from the old IP in IP with `bird` network backends default to the new VXLAN based encapsulation you need to perform this change before running an upgrade of your cluster; the `cluster.yml` and `upgrade-cluster.yml` playbooks will refuse to continue if they detect incompatible settings.
Execute the following sters on one of the control plane nodes, ensure the cluster in healthy before proceeding.
```shell
calicoctl.sh patch felixconfig default -p '{"spec":{"vxlanEnabled":true}}'
calicoctl.sh patch ippool default-pool -p '{"spec":{"ipipMode":"Never", "vxlanMode":"Always"}}'
```
**Note:** if you created multiple ippools you will need to patch all of them individually to change their encapsulation. The kubespray playbooks only handle the default ippool creaded by kubespray.
Wait for the `vxlan.calico` interfaces to be created on all cluster nodes and traffic to be routed through it then you can disable `ipip`.
```shell
calicoctl.sh patch felixconfig default -p '{"spec":{"ipipEnabled":false}}'
```
## Configuring interface MTU ## Configuring interface MTU
This is an advanced topic and should usually not be modified unless you know exactly what you are doing. Calico is smart enough to deal with the defaults and calculate the proper MTU. If you do need to set up a custom MTU you can change `calico_veth_mtu` as follows: This is an advanced topic and should usually not be modified unless you know exactly what you are doing.
