Hi, I am experimenting with LXC and would like advise about configuring network interfaces on a container. The host /etc/network/interfaces is: # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface auto br0 iface br0 inet static address 192.168.1.150 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.1 network 192.168.1.0 # Bridge lxchost system bridge_ports eth0 bridge_stp off bridge_maxwait 3 post-up /usr/sbin/brctl setfd br0 0 The container configuration can be: lxc.network.type = macvlan or lxc.network.type = veth or lxc.network.type = phys for example when executing a process from the host in macvlan i got this: root@container1:~# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 8e:80:43:1a:31:2f inet addr:192.168.1.151 Bcast:0.0.0.0 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::8c80:43ff:fe1a:312f/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:308 (308.0 B) lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) I am finding that running a system inside the container is a little tricky !! Can anyone tell me how I might link my container from the inside to the host bridge described above and what exactly I could write in /etc/network interfaces inside the container. At the moment the container /etc/network/interfaces looks like this. auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.151 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 This does not make sense to me. Thanks for any help.
