[Lxc-users] question about bridged networking

[Jun Yang]

Hi all,

I am trying to set up a VPS using LXC 0.7.4.  I want the VPS to have a
static IP address on the same subnet as the host.  Here is what I have in
host (Ubuntu 11.04)'s /etc/network/interfaces:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
    address 192.168.0.202
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 192.168.0.1

auto br101
iface br101 inet static
    address 192.168.0.101
    network 192.168.0.0
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    broadcast 192.168.0.255
    gateway 192.168.0.1
    bridge_ports eth0
    bridge_stp off
    bridge_maxwait 5
    post-up /usr/sbin/brctl setfd br101 0


Problem 1, when I reboot the host, the host's br101 get 192.168.0.101
(expected) but eth0 gets no IP address.  I can bring up eth0 manually at
this point and it gets 192.168.0.202 (expected).  But at this point,
192.168.0.101 is really an IP address of the host.  I set up my VPS as:

lxc.network.type = veth
lxc.network.flags = up
lxc.network.link = br101
lxc.utsname = vps101

lxc.tty = 4
lxc.pts = 1024
lxc.rootfs = /var/lib/lxc/vps101/rootfs
lxc.mount  = /var/lib/lxc/vps101/fstab
...


I can bring it up.  But when I do "ssh root at 192.168.0.101", I get into host
rather than the guest.

How is bridged networking supposed to work in this case?  I thought
192.168.0.101 would be routed to the guest.  Thanks!
