Network.ControlPlaneEndpointIp |
IPv4 address A.B.C.x |
A free IP address on your subnet A.B.C. The control plane (API server) gets this address. | Full deployment only | |

Network.Ip4GatewayAddress |
IPv4 address A.B.C.x |
Gateway address; typically the router address. | Full deployment only | |
Network.Ip4PrefixLength |
[1-31] |
The IP address subnet A.B.C prefix length. For example, use 24 if your network is 192.168.1.0/24. | 24 |
Full deployment only |
Network.Ip4AddressPrefix |
Subnet mask A.B.C.0/24 |
The subnet from which IP addresses are allotted in single machine deployments. For example, if you specify 192.168.1.0/24, then the gateway address is 192.168.1.1, the Linux node is 192.168.1.2, the Windows node is 192.168.1.3, and the service IPs are assigned 192.168.1.4 and onwards. This parameter is optional, and you must ensure that the IP addresses are available for use. If this parameter is not specified, AKS Edge Essentials determines available IP addresses on a best effort basis. | Single machine deployment only | |
Network.DnsServers |
IPv4 address A.B.C.x |
IP address of your DNS (typically the router address). To view what DNS your machine uses, issue the command Get-DnsClientServerAddress -AddressFamily IPv4. |
Full deployment only | |
Network.InternetDisabled |
Boolean | Whether your cluster has access to the internet. The default is false, meaning your cluster by default has access to the internet. |
false |
Single-machine and full deployment |
Network.SkipAddressFreeCheck |
Boolean | Ignores IP Address check failures and continues with deployment. | false |
Full deployment |
Network.SkipDnsCheck |
