Issue/Introduction

This article explains about Harbor Network Requirements.

Environment

VMware Pivotal Container Service 1.x

Resolution

In a typical harbor installation, it requires 8 subnets at least to start. To customize the container network settings, choose the option Specify customized container network settings. You must specify at least one address pool base and size. The address pool is used when a Docker container starts. The Docker daemon (dockerd) will allocate an IP address to this container; the IP address that is assigned is selected from the address pool.

As the Harbor requires at least 8 subnets, the minimum Prefix size should be 27 and above. For more information on subnets, please see the below table:
