The OVN-Kubernetes network plugin has the following limitations:

* If you set the `ipv6.disable` parameter to `1` in the `kernelArgument` section of the `MachineConfig` custom resource (CR) for your cluster, OVN-Kubernetes pods enter a `CrashLoopBackOff` state. Additionally, updating your cluster to a later version of {product-title} fails because the Network Operator is stuck on a `Degraded` state. Red{nbsp}Hat does not support disabling IPv6 adddresses for your cluster so do not set the `ipv6.disable` parameter to `1`.

* Configuring a sub-interface or additional network interface on a network device that uses the Open vSwitch (OVS) or OVN-Kubernetes `br-ex` bridge network.

* Creating additional virtual local area networks (VLANs) on the primary network interface.
31+
** If you configured the primary network interface for a node as a VLAN during cluster installation, you can create additional VLANs from the base physical interface, such as `eth0.100`. This works because the Open vSwitch (OVS) bridge attaches to the initial VLAN sub-interface, such as `eth0.100`, leaving the base physical interface available for new configurations.
