[lxc-users] How to set lxc.network.ipv4/hwaddr/ipv4.gateway=auto in LXD 2.6 managed container?

[Mateusz Korniak]

I am trying to move from LXC 1.1.x (macvlan) [1] containers to recent LXD [2].

I am stuck with problem:
- how can I set static ipv4/hwaddr and ipv4.gateway=auto?

I switched default profile to maclvan [3].
I created test container:

# lxc init ubuntu:16.04  ubuntu-1604-macvlan-test

Starting it confirms that macvlan iface works. Disbled DHCP configuration of 
eth0 at if2, and now setting IP# fails:

# lxc config device set ubuntu-1604-macvlan-test virt ipv4.address 10.30.3.205 
error: The device doesn't exist

It's confusing as virt device is visible in lxc config show [4], but not in 
lxc config device list ubuntu-1604-macvlan-test [5]?

TIA, regards,
