Property name network_adapter_exclusion_list
Sys ID 03a544be83bded106b7455a6feaad3b0
Type string
Application Global
Default value kube-ipvs0,cali\w{10}.*
Description The list of network adapter names must be separated by commas. Exclude the IP addresses associated with excluded network adapters. This ensures that excluded network adapters and the primary IP address(NIC IP) identified from the 'ifconfig' command are not deleted. The value should follow one of the following formats: Example 1: a single adapter name, such as "bond0" Value: bond0 Example 2: multiple adapter names separated by commas, such as "bond0,bond1" Value: bond0,bond1 Example 3: a regular expression that matches multiple adapter names ending with 1 or more digits, such as "bond\d+" Value: bond\d+ Example 4: multiple adapter names separated by commas, such as "nic1,bond\d+" Value: nic1,bond\d+ It's important to note that anything not adhering to these formats will result in an invalid regular expression and may cause exclusion or persistence issues. Additionally, regular expressions used in this context are case-sensitive.
