Calico =========== Check if the calico-node container is running ``` docker ps | grep calico ``` The **calicoctl** command allows to check the status of the network workloads. * Check the status of Calico nodes ``` calicoctl status ``` * Show the configured network subnet for containers ``` calicoctl pool show ``` * Show the workloads (ip addresses of containers and their located) ``` calicoctl endpoint show --detail ``` ##### Optionnal : BGP Peering with border routers In some cases you may want to route the pods subnet and so NAT is not needed on the nodes. For instance if you have a cluster spread on different locations and you want your pods to talk each other no matter where they are located. The following variables need to be set: `peer_with_router` to enable the peering with the datacenter's border router (default value: false). you'll need to edit the inventory and add a and a hostvar `local_as` by node. ``` node1 ansible_ssh_host=95.54.0.12 local_as=xxxxxx ```
