title: Validate IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack
content_type: task
---
<!-- overview -->
This document shares how to validate IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack enabled Kubernetes clusters.
## {{% heading "prerequisites" %}}
* Provider support for dual-stack networking (Cloud provider or otherwise must be able to provide Kubernetes nodes with routable IPv4/IPv6 network interfaces)
* A [network plugin](/docs/concepts/extend-kubernetes/compute-storage-net/network-plugins/) that supports dual-stack networking.
* [Dual-stack enabled](/docs/concepts/services-networking/dual-stack/) cluster
{{< version-check >}}
{{< note >}}
While you can validate with an earlier version, the feature is only GA and officially supported since v1.23.

## Validate addressing
### Validate node addressing
Each dual-stack Node should have a single IPv4 block and a single IPv6 block allocated. Validate that IPv4/IPv6 Pod address ranges are configured by running the following command. Replace the sample node name with a valid dual-stack Node from your cluster. In this example, the Node's name is `k8s-linuxpool1-34450317-0`:
```shell
kubectl get nodes k8s-linuxpool1-34450317-0 -o go-template --template='{{range .spec.podCIDRs}}{{printf "%s\n" .}}{{end}}'
```
```
10.244.1.0/24
2001:db8::/64
```
There should be one IPv4 block and one IPv6 block allocated.
Validate that the node has an IPv4 and IPv6 interface detected. Replace node name with a valid node from the cluster. In this example the node name is `k8s-linuxpool1-34450317-0`:
```shell
kubectl get nodes k8s-linuxpool1-34450317-0 -o go-template --template='{{range .status.addresses}}{{printf "%s: %s\n" .type .address}}{{end}}'
```
```
Hostname: k8s-linuxpool1-34450317-0
InternalIP: 10.0.0.5
InternalIP: 2001:db8:10::5
```
### Validate Pod addressing
Validate that a Pod has an IPv4 and IPv6 address assigned. Replace the Pod name with a valid Pod in your cluster. In this example the Pod name is `pod01`:
```shell
kubectl get pods pod01 -o go-template --template='{{range .status.podIPs}}{{printf "%s\n" .ip}}{{end}}'
```
```
10.244.1.4
2001:db8::4
```
You can also validate Pod IPs using the Downward API via the `status.podIPs` fieldPath. The following snippet demonstrates how you can expose the Pod IPs via an environment variable called `MY_POD_IPS` within a container.
```
env:
- name: MY_POD_IPS
valueFrom:
fieldRef:
fieldPath: status.podIPs
```
The following command prints the value of the `MY_POD_IPS` environment variable from within a container. The value is a comma separated list that corresponds to the Pod's IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
```shell
kubectl exec -it pod01 -- set | grep MY_POD_IPS
```
```
MY_POD_IPS=10.244.1.4,2001:db8::4
```
The Pod's IP addresses will also be written to `/etc/hosts` within a container. The following command executes a cat on `/etc/hosts` on a dual stack Pod. From the output you can verify both the IPv4 and IPv6 IP address for the Pod.
```shell
kubectl exec -it pod01 -- cat /etc/hosts
```
```
# Kubernetes-managed hosts file.
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
fe00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
fe00::1 ip6-allnodes
fe00::2 ip6-allrouters
10.244.1.4 pod01
2001:db8::4 pod01
```
## Validate Services
Create the following Service that does not explicitly define `.spec.ipFamilyPolicy`. Kubernetes will assign a cluster IP for the Service from the first configured `service-cluster-ip-range` and set the `.spec.ipFamilyPolicy` to `SingleStack`.
{{% code_sample file="service/networking/dual-stack-default-svc.yaml" %}}
Use `kubectl` to view the YAML for the Service.
```shell
kubectl get svc my-service -o yaml
```
The Service has `.spec.ipFamilyPolicy` set to `SingleStack` and `.spec.clusterIP` set to an IPv4 address from the first configured range set via `--service-cluster-ip-range` flag on kube-controller-manager.
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: my-service
namespace: default
spec:
clusterIP: 10.0.217.164
clusterIPs:
- 10.0.217.164
ipFamilies:
- IPv4
ipFamilyPolicy: SingleStack
ports:
- port: 80
protocol: TCP
targetPort: 9376
selector:
app.kubernetes.io/name: MyApp
sessionAffinity: None
type: ClusterIP
status:
loadBalancer: {}
```
Create the following Service that explicitly defines `IPv6` as the first array element in `.spec.ipFamilies`. Kubernetes will assign a cluster IP for the Service from the IPv6 range configured `service-cluster-ip-range` and set the `.spec.ipFamilyPolicy` to `SingleStack`.
{{% code_sample file="service/networking/dual-stack-ipfamilies-ipv6.yaml" %}}
Use `kubectl` to view the YAML for the Service.
```shell
kubectl get svc my-service -o yaml
```
The Service has `.spec.ipFamilyPolicy` set to `SingleStack` and `.spec.clusterIP` set to an IPv6 address from the IPv6 range set via `--service-cluster-ip-range` flag on kube-controller-manager.
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
labels:
app.kubernetes.io/name: MyApp
name: my-service
spec:
clusterIP: 2001:db8:fd00::5118
clusterIPs:
- 2001:db8:fd00::5118
ipFamilies:
- IPv6
ipFamilyPolicy: SingleStack
ports:
- port: 80
protocol: TCP
targetPort: 80
selector:
app.kubernetes.io/name: MyApp
sessionAffinity: None
type: ClusterIP
status:
loadBalancer: {}
```
Create the following Service that explicitly defines `PreferDualStack` in `.spec.ipFamilyPolicy`. Kubernetes will assign both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (as this cluster has dual-stack enabled) and select the `.spec.ClusterIP` from the list of `.spec.ClusterIPs` based on the address family of the first element in the `.spec.ipFamilies` array.
{{% code_sample file="service/networking/dual-stack-preferred-svc.yaml" %}}
{{< note >}}
The `kubectl get svc` command will only show the primary IP in the `CLUSTER-IP` field.
```shell
kubectl get svc -l app.kubernetes.io/name=MyApp
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
my-service ClusterIP 10.0.216.242 <none> 80/TCP 5s
```
{{< /note >}}
Validate that the Service gets cluster IPs from the IPv4 and IPv6 address blocks using `kubectl describe`. You may then validate access to the service via the IPs and ports.
```shell
kubectl describe svc -l app.kubernetes.io/name=MyApp
```
```
Name: my-service
Namespace: default
Labels: app.kubernetes.io/name=MyApp
Annotations: <none>
Selector: app.kubernetes.io/name=MyApp
Type: ClusterIP
IP Family Policy: PreferDualStack
IP Families: IPv4,IPv6
IP: 10.0.216.242
IPs: 10.0.216.242,2001:db8:fd00::af55
Port: <unset> 80/TCP
TargetPort: 9376/TCP
Endpoints: <none>
Session Affinity: None
Events: <none>
```
### Create a dual-stack load balanced Service
If the cloud provider supports the provisioning of IPv6 enabled external load balancers, create the following Service with `PreferDualStack` in `.spec.ipFamilyPolicy`, `IPv6` as the first element of the `.spec.ipFamilies` array and the `type` field set to `LoadBalancer`.
{{% code_sample file="service/networking/dual-stack-prefer-ipv6-lb-svc.yaml" %}}
Check the Service:
```shell
kubectl get svc -l app.kubernetes.io/name=MyApp
```
Validate that the Service receives a `CLUSTER-IP` address from the IPv6 address block along with an `EXTERNAL-IP`. You may then validate access to the service via the IP and port.
```shell
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
my-service LoadBalancer 2001:db8:fd00::7ebc 2603:1030:805::5 80:30790/TCP 35s
```
