Prologue: I run LXC successful for nearly 2 years on Ubuntu 10.04, using veth / br0. Every container has its own IP address, no NAT. I run production services like http://fex.rus.uni-stuttgart.de/ on it, rocksolid.
I have now set up second server with Ubuntu 12.04 and there have changed a lot of things, starting with networking. Reading https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/lxc.html it says one can use lxcbr0 or virbr0 for bridging, but without further explanation. What is "better"? Or is lxcbr0 only for NAT? Is virbr0 the successor of br0? Probably I am missing some basic documentation... The new server has six GbE interfaces and I have set up "ethernet bonding": three real interfaces build one virtual interface. I have successfully assigned a single test-IP to bond1: root@vms3:~# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 0.0.0.0 129.69.202.142 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 bond0 10.0.3.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 lxcbr0 129.69.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 bond1 129.69.202.128 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.240 U 0 0 0 bond0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 bond0 (lxcbr0 was automaticaly started when I installed lxc) How shall I continue? Binding which bridge type how to bond1?
