Through the **Cluster Explorer,** when installing or upgrading Istio through **Apps & Marketplace,**
1. Click **Components.**
1. Check the box next to **Enabled CNI.**
1. Add a custom overlay file specifying `cniBinDir` and `cniConfDir`. For more information on these options, refer to the [Istio documentation.](https://istio.io/latest/docs/setup/additional-setup/cni/#helm-chart-parameters) An example is below:
```yaml
apiVersion: install.istio.io/v1alpha1
kind: IstioOperator
spec:
components:
cni:
enabled: true
values:
cni:
image: rancher/istio-install-cni:1.7.3
excludeNamespaces:
- istio-system
- kube-system
logLevel: info
cniBinDir: /opt/cni/bin
cniConfDir: /etc/cni/net.d
```
1. After installing Istio, you'll notice the cni-node pods in the istio-system namespace in a CrashLoopBackoff error. Manually edit the `istio-cni-node` daemonset to include the following on the `install-cni` container:
```yaml
securityContext:
privileged: true
```
**Result:** Now you should be able to utilize Istio as desired, including sidecar injection and monitoring via Kiali.
