text: **OpenShift Container Platform Router plug-in**
  The following OpenShift Router plug-ins are available: 
  
  (cid:2) HAProxy Template Router: The HAProxy template uses the openshift3/ose-haproxy-router 
  image to deploy one or more Router Pods (container) that are running on Infrastructure 
  Nodes on the OpenShift Container Platform. 
  
  (cid:2) F5 BIG-IP Router plug-in: The F5 router integrates with a F5 BIG-IP system in your 
  
  environment to synchronize routes. F5 BIG-IP version 11.4 or newer is required to have 
  the F5 iControl REST API. 
  
  For more information about the use of the router HAProxy plug-in, see this web page. 
  
  **Assigning a public IP by using a load balancer service**
  This method allows traffic to nonstandard ports through an IP address that is assigned from a 
  pool. 
  
  If you do not need a specific external IP address, you can configure a load balancer service to 
  allow external access to an OpenShift Container Platform cluster. 
  
  A load balancer service allocates a unique IP from a configured pool. The load balancer 
  features a single edge router IP (which can be a virtual IP (VIP), but is still a single machine 
  for initial load balancing).
