Sorry, you also need to

lxc remote add n1 $ip1:$port1
lxc remote add n2 $ip2:$port2

on the client before doing the below.

> lxc create n1:c1
> lxc create n2:c2
> lxc start n1:c1
> lxc attach n1:c1
> lxc stop n1:c1
> lxc destroy n2:c2

Just doing

lxc create c1

will create c1 on the local host, assuming you have lxd running there.
