Hi,<div> i tried the same but by upgrading to the latest ip utility and its works fine as you specified.With the old ip utility the "link add" commands fails,Thanks for the help.</div><div><br></div><div>I tried "PHYS" in the kernel version <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse; ">2.6.35-rc4 and phys seems to work but with a problem ie) the working configuration is as follows,</span></div>

<div>lxc.network.ipv4 = 192.168.10.1</div></div><div><br></div></span></span></font>Instead i see an interface as dev3 in my host after the lxc is stopped.Is it necessary that both the network.link and <a href="http://network.name">network.name</a> has to be same in the case of "PHYS".</div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">You need to add a macvlan device to the parent device with the same<br>
mode.<br>
<br>
So, if you have a macvlan with a link device of eth0, you'll need to<br>
create a macvlan device off eth0 - e.g. eth0:1 that is of mode bridge.<br>
<br>
There was an email yesterday that showed how to do that.<br>
