Lxc don't assign ip to container

LXC
1

Hi all, after some days of work and try I ask help.
When I start a new container lxc don’t give any address to the container!

This is my /etc/lxc/default.conf

lxc.network.type = veth
lxc.network.link = lxcbr0
lxc.network.flags = up
lxc.network.hwaddr = 00:16:3e:xx:xx:xx

This is my /etc/default/lxc-net

USE_LXC_BRIDGE=“true”
LXC_BRIDGE=“lxcbr0”
LXC_ADDR=“10.0.3.1”
LXC_NETMASK=“255.255.255.0”
LXC_NETWORK=“10.0.3.0/24”
LXC_DHCP_RANGE=“10.0.3.2,10.0.3.254”
LXC_DHCP_MAX=“253”

This is my ifconfig -a

This is my brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
lxcbr0 8000.00163e000000 no vethQAQT1O

This is my /etc/network/interfaces

The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.202
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.254

This is an autoconfigured IPv6 interface
iface eth0 inet6 auto

This is the config of a container

lxc.network.type = veth
lxc.network.link = lxcbr0
lxc.network.flags = up
lxc.network.hwaddr = 00:16:3e:f5:fc:a9
lxc.rootfs = /var/lib/lxc/MATTINOCORRETTO/rootfs
lxc.rootfs.backend = dir

Common configuration

lxc.include = /usr/share/lxc/config/debian.common.conf

Container specific configuration

lxc.tty = 4
lxc.utsname = MATTINOCORRETTO
lxc.arch = amd64

Please, can someone give me an indication?

Thanks in advance

For discovering the issue I would try to tcpdump the bridge on host to verify the DHCP packets are there, from client and answer from server.
You should check iptables for blocked traffic.

Thanks for your reply.
If I put an Ip manually in the config file of container the network work well…
So my problem is that whe I create and start container, the container don’t take an ip address automatically…
any idea?

It would help if you can add some text formating in the text, like

example

There are two pieces of information that are missing:

  1. Are you running these in a VM? If so, which?
  2. Which container image are you using? Stock or your own?
