'Kubernetes MetalLB External IP not reachable

I can't access to Network IP assigned by MetalLB load Balancer

I created a Kubernetes cluster in k3s. Its 1 master and 1 workers. Each one has its own Private IP.

Master 192.168.0.13

Worker 192.168.0.13

I Installed k3s with INSTALL_K3S_EXEC=" --no-deploy servicelb --no-deploy traefik"

Now I am trying to deploy a app using MetalLB and nginx ingress

  --set configInline.address-pools[0].name=default \
  --set configInline.address-pools[0].protocol=layer2 \
  --set configInline.address-pools[0].addresses[0]=192.168.0.21-192.168.0.30

helm install nginx-ingress stable/nginx-ingress --namespace kube-system \
    --set controller.image.repository=quay.io/kubernetes-ingress-controller/nginx-ingress-controller\
    --set controller.image.tag=0.30.0 \
    --set controller.image.runAsUser=33 \
    --set defaultBackend.enabled=false

I Can see every pod up and running

App getting IP 192.168.0.21

❯ kubectl get services  -n kube-system -l app=nginx-ingress -o wide

I Can access the app from master and worker by curl to nginx controller pod

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: nginx/1.17.8
Date: Sat, 21 Mar 2020 10:43:34 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 153
Connection: keep-alive

But the IP is not accessible from local 192.168.0.21

Diagnosis : DHCP is on, and 192.168.0.21-192.168.0.30 is absolutely free., When i try to allocate 192.168.0.21 to master or agent by netplan config they get the IP.

Please Guide me, What i am missing.

You need to make sure that the source IP address (external-ip assigned by metallb) is preserved. To achieve this, set the value of the externalTrafficPolicy field of the ingress-controller Service spec to Local. For example

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: my-app
  labels:
    helm.sh/chart: webapp-0.1.0
    app.kubernetes.io/name: webapp
    app.kubernetes.io/instance: my-app
    app.kubernetes.io/version: "1.16.0"
    app.kubernetes.io/managed-by: Helm
spec:
  type: ClusterIP
  ports:
    - port: 80
      targetPort: http
      protocol: TCP
      name: http
  selector:
    app.kubernetes.io/name: webapp
    app.kubernetes.io/instance: my-app
  externalTrafficPolicy: Local

The default value for externalTrafficPolicy field is 'Cluster'. So change it to Local

Solution 2:[2]

In my setup with Cilium and HAProxy ingress controller I'd to change externalTrafficPolicy from Local to Cluster

kubectl --namespace ingress-controller patch svc haproxy-ingress \
 -p '{"spec":{"externalTrafficPolicy":"Cluster"}}'
