</div>Doing that (on br1.18), the second gateway goes away:<br>
<div class="im"><br>
---------------------------------------------<br>
host$ ip route show<br>
</div><div class="im"><a href="http://192.168.17.0/24" target="_blank">192.168.17.0/24</a> dev br1.17 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.17.2<br>
default via 192.168.17.1 dev br1.17<br>
</div>---------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
But the line<br>
<div class="im"><br>
<a href="http://192.168.18.0/24" target="_blank">192.168.18.0/24</a> dev br1.18 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.18.2<br>
<br>
</div>is gone too. That disturbs me, but I don't have traffic on that bridge<br>
to test with yet.<br>

But if you have an external router (e.g. 192.168.18.1, which can also connect to <a href="http://192.168.17.0/24">192.168.17.0/24</a>), then your host can still communicate with the container, even when the host itself does not have an IP address in <a href="http://192.168.18.0/24">192.168.18.0/24</a>.</div>
