I have a lxc host (zoo 129.69.1.68) with a container (vmtest8 129.69.8.6).
I want all host/container communication to be internal without network traffic going via external router. I know I can setup host routes like: root@vms2:# route add -host 129.69.8.6 gw 129.69.1.68 root@vms2:# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 129.69.8.6 129.69.1.68 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 br0 129.69.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 br0 0.0.0.0 129.69.1.254 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 br0 root@vms2:# lxc -c vmtest8 Type <Ctrl+a q> to exit the console root@vmtest8:~# route add -host 129.69.1.68 gw 129.69.8.6 root@vmtest8:~# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 129.69.1.68 129.69.8.6 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 eth0 129.69.8.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 129.69.8.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 root@vms2:# ping 129.69.8.6 PING 129.69.8.6 (129.69.8.6) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 129.69.8.6: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=9.54 ms 64 bytes from 129.69.8.6: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.015 ms 64 bytes from 129.69.8.6: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.014 ms 64 bytes from 129.69.8.6: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=0.013 ms 64 bytes from 129.69.8.6: icmp_seq=5 ttl=64 time=0.015 ms 64 bytes from 129.69.8.6: icmp_seq=6 ttl=64 time=0.013 ms ^C --- 129.69.8.6 ping statistics --- 6 packets transmitted, 6 received, 0% packet loss, time 4998ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.013/1.602/9.547/3.553 ms But I do not want to set up such host routes manually, they should be created some kind of automatic. With only 1 host/container pair it is not much trouble. But later I want to have a dozen containers and they all should use internal routing. Modifying the host and each container VM routing table manually is nasty. -- Ullrich Horlacher Server- und Arbeitsplatzsysteme Rechenzentrum E-Mail: [email protected] Universitaet Stuttgart Tel: ++49-711-685-65868 Allmandring 30 Fax: ++49-711-682357 70550 Stuttgart (Germany) WWW: http://www.rus.uni-stuttgart.de/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WhatsUp Gold - Download Free Network Management Software The most intuitive, comprehensive, and cost-effective network management toolset available today.
