Expected behavior
Able to create transparent network that binds to physical networks and still support static IP assignment to the containers.
I noticed that one drawback when you bind the physical interface to docker transparent network, it always expects this physical interface handles DHCP. We cannot assign static IP address to containers nor we can provide the subnet range to network itself.
I do not have DHCP for this Physical network it is connected to TOR dumb switches and do not plan to create a DHCP server. I have containers in other machines connected to same switch which I need to connect to. Any ideas how can I do that ?
Actual behavior
docker network create -d transparent --subnet=172.18.0.0/24 -o com.docker.network.windowsshim.interface=“nic1” new_ns2
Error response from daemon: HNS failed with error : The object already exists.
docker run -itd --name test --net new_ns --ip 172.18.0.1 microsoft/nanoserver
