[lxc-users] Several containers with the same VLAN ID on a single host

[Gerik Bonaert]

Dear lxc-users,

I am trying to create several containers with the same VLAN ID on a single host, using*lxc.network.type = vlan.
*But am able to boot only one container at a time.

I found the following affirmation in this mailing list:

https://lists.linuxcontainers.org/pipermail/lxc-users/2010-April/000260.html

> The advantages are the performances + network segmentation and the

Is this information still up to date, since it was published 5 years ago?

As a workaround I can create a bridge on said VLAN, and connect all my containers to it. I would prefer not to do this if possible.

Best regards,

Gérik Bonaert
