Hello. I'm just starting to learn about containers so apologies for the basic question (I couldn't find an exact answer from my non-exhaustive review of the archives).
I'm trying to create a private container network using macvlan interfaces. I'm running ubuntu 14.04 on the host and on the containers and have created a dummy bridge to attach the containers to. It doesn't have an IP address on the host but my understanding is this isn't needed because it is only being used for bridging between containers. This bridge is brought up upon boot from the interfaces script: auto mvlbr0 iface mvlbr0 inet manual pre-up brctl addbr mvlbr0 up ip link set mvlbr0 up down ip link set mvlbr0 down post-down brctl delbr mvlbr0 I then add the following configuration to the first container: lxc.network.type = macvlan lxc.network.macvlan.mode = bridge lxc.network.flags = up lxc.network.link = mvlbr0 lxc.network.hwaddr = 00:16:31:b1:19:93 lxc.network.ipv4 = 10.1.1.2/26 I run lxc-start -n container and get the following error: lxc-start: failed to move 'mvlbr0' to the container : Invalid argument lxc-start: failed to create the configured network lxc-start: failed to spawn 'apache01' lxc-start: The container failed to start. Could someone please provide some advice on what I'm doing wrong. Thanks. _______________________________________________ lxc-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxcontainers.org/listinfo/lxc-users
