It does not work. Here is an example: iface lxc0 inet manual address 10.42.42.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 bridge_ports none bridge_stp off bridge_fd 0 bridge_maxwait 0 root@hal:~# ifup lxc0 root@hal:~# ifconfig lxc0 lxc0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr f6:97:98:0f:58:fe adr inet6: fe80::f497:98ff:fe0f:58fe/64 Scope:Lien UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 lg file transmission:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:508 (508.0 B) The only way to get an IP assigned to the bridge is to add the following directive in the iface declaration: post-up /sbin/ip addr add 10.42.42.1/24 dev lxc0 This is a really annoying bug I come across very often.
