```javascript
# docker inspect 1c45574157a3ba | grep CALICO |grep CALICO_IPV4_DETECTION_METHOD
export CALICO_IPV4_DETECTION_METHOD="interface=bond1.100"

# ip route show |grep default
default via 10.69.63.1 dev bond0.663
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Resolution

* Update the node's routing table for the interface which is being used by Calico.
