Hi all,
I’m struggling to get LXC containers working with DHCP. I got them working with static IP address. To avoid impact of any of my changes I reset Omnia to factory default (I didn’t modify anything) then I created a new Debian LXC container with default network settings:
lxc.network.type = veth
lxc.network.link = br-lan
lxc.network.flags = up
lxc.network.name = eth0
In System log (see below) I can see DHCPDISCOVER followed by DHCPOFFER to the lxc container. However there is no DHCPREQUEST. If it was on different subnet there could be firewall rules but I intentionally tried it in br-lan to avoid going across subnets.
Does it work for others?
