thanks Fajar, that worked perfectly. That said, I'm still very new to lxd/lxc and the only way I could get that done was to run:
lxc config edit <container> how would I have set the property for the device? I tried: lxc config device set x1 eth0.host_name = veth_c1_eth0 but that didn't work and I got back "The device doesn't exist". However this did list eth0 as a device: lxc config device list c1 eth0: nic eth1: nic thanks, Spike On Tue, Mar 7, 2017 at 8:11 AM Fajar A.
