Dear all,
There are two containers hosted by my host machine. And the host
machine has two same 1G NICs. I want to assign a dedicated NIC to
one container. The host and the other container share the second
NIC. How can I achieve this?
There are several options for the dedicated NIC
- Use <hostdev mode="capabilities" type="net">
http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsHostDevCaps
This simply moves the host NIC into the container's network
namespace, making it invisible to the host, and only usable
by that one container
- Use <interface type="direct">
http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsNICSDirect
This connects the host NIC to a container via macvlan
device. This can also be used for the shared NICs.
Regards,
Daniel
