In {product-title} {product-version}, you can install a cluster on bare metal infrastructure that you provision with customized network configuration options. By customizing your network configuration, your cluster can coexist with existing IP address allocations in your environment and integrate with existing MTU and VXLAN configurations.
When you customize {product-title} networking, you must set most of the network configuration parameters during installation. You can modify only kubeProxy network configuration parameters in a running
cluster.
