Describe the issue: OVN-kubernetes is the default cluster network provider in OCP for some time now. It requires a specific setup for ODF when it is deployed in external mode. This is a common issue that should be documented in ODF docs. Documentation should state a note or something which advises user to consider turning on routing via host if the external cluster is accessible via a private network. This is quite a common configuration especially on baremetal OCP installations. Users should execute following command: {code} oc patch network.operator cluster -p '{"spec":{"defaultNetwork":{"ovnKubernetesConfig":{"gatewayConfig":{"routingViaHost": true}}}}}' --type=merge {code} This is especially confusing since `rook-ceph-tools` pod is using different network settings, see related BZ. Describe the task you were trying to accomplish: Install ODF in external mode connecting it to a Ceph cluster accessible via private network configured by NMState operator. Suggestions for improvement: Users should execute following command: {code} oc patch network.operator cluster -p '{"spec":{"defaultNetwork":{"ovnKubernetesConfig":{"gatewayConfig":{"routingViaHost": true}}}}}' --type=merge {code} Document URL: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_openshift_data_foundation/4.10/html/deploying_openshift_data_foundation_in_external_mode/deploy-openshift-data-foundation-using-red-hat-ceph-storage#doc-wrapper Chapter/Section Number and Title: Deploying OpenShift Data Foundation in external mode > Chapter 2.
