Having Issues Setting Network

LXD

Hello,
So i got this server from NOCIX and i was provided 5 IP address with the details below :

System IP: 74.91.31.154/29
Usable IP Range: 74.91.31.154 - 74.91.31.158
Gateway: 74.91.31.153
Subnet Mask:255.255.255.248

I created a Network with config details below :

config:
ipv4.address: 74.91.31.154/29
ipv4.dhcp: “true”
ipv4.dhcp.gateway: 74.91.31.153
ipv4.dhcp.ranges: 74.91.31.154-74.91.31.158
ipv4.nat: “true”
ipv6.address: fd42:287:62d1:7e86::1/64
ipv6.nat: “true”

When i create a launch a new container and attach the network to the container, Ip is given but i have issues reaching the IP addressing either via ping or ssh. Nothing is working.

I have contacted the provider and multiple tests have shown i am the one not doing something right

Please i need help on this as i have tried everything for almost a month and no luck

If these are public IP addresses, then you don’t need to create your own network, you just need to connect to the existing network of the provider, by using these addresses. For that, you could use the routed or macvlan nictypes. Here is an example of routed profile: https://blog.simos.info/how-to-get-lxd-containers-get-ip-from-the-lan-with-routed-network/

I was able to use the macvlan config
Below is the config which i had to do per container

config:
  user.network-config: |
    version: 2
    ethernets:
      eth0:
        dhcp4: false
        addresses: ["74.91.31.155/29"]
        gateway4: "74.91.31.153"
        nameservers:
          addresses: ["8.8.8.8"]
description: ""
devices:
  eth0:
    nictype: macvlan
    parent: enp0n12
    type: nic
name: macvlan

I was able to configure the profile for other things as well, but this work for the network

@Luken Thanks for the guide
