In {product-title}, egress IPs provide administrators a way to control network traffic. Egress IPs can be used with the `br-ex`, or primary, network interface, which is a Linux bridge interface associated with Open vSwitch, or they can be used with additional network interfaces.

For users who want an egress IP and traffic to be routed over a particular interface that is not the primary network interface, the following conditions must be met:
