So, again I need to add one network interface in the libvirt XML?. It will not take the interface which was created earlier while creating container using lxc-tools?. But, in the container which was created with lxc-tools(lxc-create, lxc-start ..etc), I am not getting any such issues. Why I am getting these issues in virsh command prompt, when I am mounting the same rootfs that was used while creating container using lxc-tools. Please clarify.

So the container is inheriting the host network. If you add a network interface it'll work as you expect Daniel -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, London -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://deltacloud.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :| -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
