[lxc-users] Need help with static IP address -- Simplest use case.

[Michael Johnson]

Hi Gunnar,

Yes, gentoo is the name I've given my container, but "default" is not
the profile but the name of the device. My choice to call the device
"default" is entirely by chance. At one point, I was following the steps
in this guide:

https://stgraber.org/2016/10/27/network-management-with-lxd-2-3/

where this command is discussed:
lxc network attach testbr0 my-container default eth0

So I've continued calling the device "default", for no particular reason.
