Host contains multiple publicly accessible IP addresses with MAC addresses. Host ethernet interface: eth0 docker network create -d macvlan -o macvlan_mode=bridge -subnet=188.40.76.0/26 -gateway=188.40.76.1 -o parent=eth0 macvlan_bridgeĪbove command creates network named ‘macvlan_bridge’ Running a container using ‘macvlan_bridge’ network: If a container uses port 8000 of host then no other containers can use that port.īinding multiple ports to container can be done by specifying port range but this operation takes more time depending on no. Problems with docker containers port binding: MACVLAN doesn’t need to learn(identify) mac addresses of the systems within the network to distribute traffic as it know’s every mac address, this makes it fast and easy to setup than bridge type networking. This way if your system has multiple IP addresses with MAC addresses then we can create multiple virtual network interfaces each having their own IP address and MAC address.
MACVLAN creates multiple virtual network interfaces with different MAC addresses.
