[lxc-users] lxc network create - macvlan

[Ron Kelley]

Trying to create a macvlan network type using LXD 2.12 but can’t figure out the syntax.  I have a number of vxlan interfaces created via the “ip link” command and would like to create the corresponding LXD networks without having to create separate profiles.  I tried the commands "lxc network create vxlan1101 type=physical” and "lxc network create vxlan1101 nictype=macvlan”.  Each time, I get "error: Invalid network configuration key:”

I looked at the network configuration document (https://github.com/lxc/lxd/blob/master/doc/networks.md) but don’t see anywhere to specify a nic type.

For what it’s worth, creating a new profile using the “nictype:macvlan" and "parent: vxlan.1101” key values works just fine.


Any pointers?
