# Docker # Create a MAC VLAN network ##### Description The command below is an example of creating a layer 2 macvlan network in docker. In the example below, the network I am using is 10.128.140.0/24 on interface ens160. You will have to replace the subnet and interface according to your install. ##### Conifguration > docker network create -d macvlan --subnet=10.128.140.0/24 --gateway 10.128.140.1 -o parent=ens160 L2-Connect and this is how you add a VLAN network > docker network create -d macvlan --subnet=172.16.8.0/22 --gateway 172.16.8.1 -o parent=ens192.40 Data-40-L2-Connect After creation of the network you can take a look to make sure it exists > root@container:~# docker network ls > > NETWORK ID NAME DRIVER SCOPE > > 01734d37ed78 L2-Connect macvlan local > > 310563fabcd7 bridge bridge local > > 4bc024cbd7cc host host local > > d2879a267450 none null local # Deploy Portainer on a MAC VLAN network ##### Description On the previous page I showed how to create a layer 2 macvlan network that allows you to deploye containers in the same network as the host itself. This example will show you how to deploye Portainer CE using the layer 2 macvlan network we created. ##### Configuration > root@container:~# docker run -d --network L2-Connect --ip=10.128.140.31 --dns=1.1.1.1 --name=Portainer --restart=always -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v portainer\_data:/data portainer/portainer-ce:latest Once the container has been created you can run the docker container ls command to see the deployed container. > root@container:~# docker container ls > > CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES > > cd30907cabe6 portainer/portainer-ce:latest "/portainer" 10 minutes ago Up 10 minutes Portainer
