Hi,
I’d like to try macvlan networking with Rancher. But I don’t know how to add and configure the corresponding plugin. I cannot find any documentation on the topic.
Please advice, if possible.
Thanks,
–Andrey
Hi @Andrey, currently Rancher supports IPsec and VXLAN networking plugins and these plugins take care of overlay networking across different hosts. To get a network driver using MACVLAN, one would have to take care of the cross host networking, IPAM, etc.
Can you please elaborate on your needs so that I can assist you better?
Hi @leodotcloud,
Thank you for your response. I needed to enable restarting containers (e.g. after host or OS crash) with same IP addresses, so that they could still be reached from non-containerized applications (pre-configured to access containerized servers by particular IPs).
But seems that it’s easier to solve this problem by using symbolic address (not IPs) and Mesos DNS to resolve the names.
