Hello Alexey,<br>
<br>
What exact loopback device you are referring to here ?<br>
<br>
Like I mentioned in the initial post, I am able to bind the VMs
network to the host's bridge, which isn't bound to any particular
host interface. See config below:<br>
<br>
# This bridge will is used to NAT LXC containers' traffic<br>
auto lxcbr0<br>
iface lxcbr0 inet static<br>
bridge_fd 0<br>
bridge_maxwait 0<br>
address 172.16.10.1<br>
netmask 255.255.0.0<br>
pre-up brctl addbr lxcbr0<br>
post-down brctl delbr lxcbr0<br>
post-down echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward<br>
post-down echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding<br>
post-up echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward<br>
post-up echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding<br>
post-up iptables -A FORWARD -i lxcbr0 -s 172.16.10.1/16 -j
ACCEPT<br>
post-up iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -s 172.16.10.1/16 -j
MASQUERADE<br>
# add checksum so that dhclient does not complain.<br>
# udp packets staying on the same host never have a checksum
filled else<br>
post-up iptables -A POSTROUTING -t mangle -p udp --dport bootpc
-s 172.16.10.1/16 -j CHECKSUM --checksum-fill<br>
pre-down iptables -D FORWARD -i lxcbr0 -s 172.16.10.1/16 -j
ACCEPT<br>
pre-down iptables -D POSTROUTING -t nat -s 172.16.10.1/16 -j
MASQUERADE<br>
# add checksum so that dhclient does not complain.<br>
# udp packets staying on the same host never have a checksum
filled else<br>
pre-down iptables -D POSTROUTING -t mangle -p udp --dport bootpc
-s 172.16.10.1/16 -j CHECKSUM --checksum-fill<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Can anyone shed some light on what the crash maybe ? I encountered
the crash when trying to ssh into one of the VMs, which is when it
lost network. Surprisingly, prior to the ssh, all ping requests
worked fine.<br>
