+Setting Up a Custom Management Network on Multi-Homed Nodes
+===========================================================
+
+If the interface you use for Kubernetes management traffic (for example,
+the IP address used for ``kubeadm join``) is not the one that contains
+the default route out of the host, then you need to specify the
+management node IP address in the Kubelet config file. Add the following
+line to: (``/etc/systemd/system/kubelet.service.d/10-kubeadm.conf``):
+
+::
+
+ Environment="KUBELET_EXTRA_ARGS=--fail-swap-on=false --node-ip=<node-management-ip-address>"
+
+Example
+-------
+
+Consider a 2 node deployment where each node is connected to 2 networks
+- ``10.0.2.0/24`` and ``192.168.56.0/24``, and the default route on each
+node points to the interface connected to the ``10.0.2.0/24`` subnet. We
+want to use subnet ``192.168.56.0/24`` for Kubernetes management
+traffic. Assume the addresses of nodes connected to ``192.168.56.0/24``
+are ``192.168.56.105`` and ``192.168.56.106``.
+
+On the ``192.168.56.105`` node you add the following line to
+``10-kubeadm.conf``:
+
+::
+
+ Environment="KUBELET_EXTRA_ARGS=--fail-swap-on=false --node-ip=192.168.56.105"
+
+On the ``192.168.56.106`` node you add the following line to
+``10-kubeadm.conf``:
+
+::
+
+ Environment="KUBELET_EXTRA_ARGS=--fail-swap-on=false --node-ip=192.168.56.106"
