[lxc-users] lxc network create - macvlan

[Ron Kelley]

Thanks.  It seems the command works for the local server only.  When I try to do this from a remote server ("lxc network attach vxlan.1101 QA-Server-04:centos-vm4), I get “error: not found”.  Is that expected?


Also, it seems the command, "lxc network show <remote_server>:” has a bug as the command returns with “error: json: cannot unmarshal array into Go value of type api.Network".  I have just filed a bug (#3230) to track this issue.

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:”
