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:”

LXD only manages bridges. You can make a bridge that's connected to your
macvlan device with:

  lxc network create br-vxlan1101 ipv4.address=none ipv6.address=none bridge.external_interfaces=vxlan.1101

Which you can then attach containers to.


But it sounds like just attaching the container directly using macvlan would be easiest:

  lxc network attach vxlan.1101 <container name>
