Hi All,

I am a newbie to libvirt.
I am trying to set up a Lxc container using a nat based network.
I am able to create the container and log into it. But I don't see any interface created by default in the container.
In other words my ifconfig inside the container does not show up any interfaces even if I run 'ifconfig lo up' for a loop back interface.
Also I don't have any dhcp configured in my machine.
I am not sure why this is happening...

These are my network and domain configurations. Any help will be highly appreciated.

<network>
   <name>mynetwork</name>
   <forward mode="nat" dev="em2"/>
   <bridge name="virbr1" />
   <ip address="192.168.123.1" netmask="255.255.255.0">
     <dhcp>
        <range start="192.168.123.2" end="192.168.123.10" />
        <host mac="18:03:73:F8:8A:75" name="vm100" ip="192.168.123.3"/>
     </dhcp>
   </ip>
</network>

Domain xml:
<domain type='lxc'>
  <name>helloworld</name>
  <memory>102400</memory>
  <os>
      <type>exe</type>
      <init>/bin/sh</init>
  </os>
  <devices>
      <console type='pty'/>
  </devices>
  <interface type='network'>
      <source network='mynetwork'/>
      <mac address="18:03:73:F8:8A:75"/>
     <target dev='vm100'/>
  </interface>
</domain>

Regards,
Anita
