I've got a virtual machine running under virtualbox, and in that virtual machine I've got an LXC container I'm trying to bridge to virtualbox's NAT interface:
------------- ----------- ----------- ---------- ----------
| LXC | ---> | Host OS | ---> | Virtual | ---> | Laptop | ---> | Router |
| Container | | Linxu | | Box | | | | |
------------- ----------- ----------- ---------- ----------
eth0 10.1.0.35 br0 eth0 NAT GW: 192.168.1.33 GW:
gw 10.1.0.2 br0 10.1.0.5 10.1.0.2/16 192.168.1.1
gw 10.1.0.2
Ping 10.1.0.2 ping 10.1.0.2
FAIL OK
I cannot ping from the LXC container to the virtualbox gateway, but I can from the Host OS.
Note: running
tcpdump
on the host OS, I can sing pings being sent from the container to the router, and the reply from the router to the container, but tcpdump
on the container shows no traffic.
