Docker Macvlan and Ipvlan Experimental Driver Examples

  • The build will be vendored into github.com/docker/docker in the next few days. In the meantime here is the binary that will be getting vendored. docker-1.11.0-dev.zip
  • Ipvlan L2 mode network with multiple subnets without a parent specified
  • For a long test that will create 54 networks and 120+ containers, then delete them all and recreate them again try ipvlan-macvlan-it.sh Instructions here Docker Macvlan and Ipvlan Manual IT Test
  • FYI Note: When the parent is empty or the --internal flag is used, a linux type dummy interface is dynamically created by Libnetwork to act as the parent. This network is completely isolated and is the equivalent to a --internal flag. This is a good mode for demoing.
  • The first test requires an interface named eth0. Change the name to any other NIC naming on the docker host.

Create multiple macvlan bridge subnets using a sub-interface eth0.215 and VLAN ID 215

  • Note: gateways for a subnet left empty will default to the first usable address on the subnet. Example: 172.16.90.128/25 would get a gateway of 172.16.90.129 unless explicitly set with --gateway=172.16.90.x
docker network  create  -d macvlan \
    --subnet=192.168.215.0/24 \
    --subnet=192.168.217.0/24 \
    --gateway=192.168.215.1  \
    -o parent=eth0.215 \
     -o macvlan_mode=bridge macnet215

# Test 192.168.215.0/24 connectivity

Ipvlan L3 mode network with multiple subnets without a parent specified using a dummy interface

	 -o ipvlan_mode=l3 ipnet214

docker run --net=ipnet214 --ip=10.1.214.10 -itd alpine /bin/sh

# Test L3 connectivity from 10.1.214.0/24 to 192.168.212.0/24
docker run --net=ipnet214 --ip=192.168.214.9 -it --rm alpine ping -c 2 10.1.214.10
