Did you try?

   lxc network attach QA-Server-04:vxlan.1101 QA-Server-04:centos-vm4

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:”
