Container networking issues
---------------------------
All LXC containers on the host have two virtual ethernet interfaces:
* `eth0` in the container connects to `lxcbr0` on the host
* `eth1` in the container connects to `br-mgmt` on the host
.. note::
Some containers, such as cinder, glance, neutron_agents, and swift_proxy, have
more than two interfaces to support their functions.`
Predictable interface naming
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the host, all virtual ethernet devices are named based on their container
as well as the name of the interface inside the container:
.. code-block:: bash
${CONTAINER_UNIQUE_ID}_${NETWORK_DEVICE_NAME}
As an example, an all-in-one (AIO) build might provide a utility container
called `aio1_utility_container-d13b7132`. That container will have two
network interfaces: `d13b7132_eth0` and `d13b7132_eth1`.
Another option would be to use LXC's tools to retrieve information about the
utility container:
.. code-block:: bash
$ lxc-info -n aio1_utility_container-d13b7132
Name: aio1_utility_container-d13b7132
State: RUNNING
PID: 8245
IP: 10.0.3.201
IP: 172.29.237.204
CPU use: 79.18 seconds
BlkIO use: 678.26 MiB
Memory use: 613.33 MiB
KMem use: 0 bytes
Link: d13b7132_eth0
TX bytes: 743.48 KiB
RX bytes: 88.78 MiB
Total bytes: 89.51 MiB
Link: d13b7132_eth1
TX bytes: 412.42 KiB
RX bytes: 17.32 MiB
Total bytes: 17.73 MiB
The ``Link:`` lines will show the network interfaces that are attached to the
utility container.
Reviewing container networking traffic
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can dump traffic on the ``br-mgmt`` bridge with ``tcpdump`` to see all
communications between various containers, but you can narrow your focus by
running ``tcpdump`` only on the network interfaces of the containers which are
experiencing a problem.
