I think this is really more of a Windows question, BUT since the 240/8 subnet is something the Ubuntu fan for LXD defaulted to, I thought I’d ask here.
It seems that Windows refuses to route to the 240/8 subnet. Does that sound correct? From my searching, I don’t think there really is a simple solution. Both Linux and Mac don’t have issue with the IP range, so I know the services can be accessed from other devices … except for Windows.
My suspicion (and current plan) is to create a new network on the 10/8 subnet and use that instead… the migration will take some work, so thought it was worth asking before starting that process.
I’ve not tried connecting a Windows VM guest to a managed bridge with fan mode enabled.
However if you’re looking for an overlay network mode that uses more traditional and customisable ranges, then please take a look at our OVN integration:
Thanks for the reply! Sorry for being so late in replying, life gets a bit crazy sometimes. Understood. But I have only two hosts and everything suggests the minimum is 3. I still intend on moving the fan off the 240.x.x.x to the 10.x.x.x … and my expectation is this will be good.
Just got my dev environment moved over to the 10.x.x.x subnet with the Ubuntu Fan and LXD. No issues from Windows. 240.x.x.x continues to be a problem. So, I think that’s the short-term solution… beyond adding a node and rebuilding LXD with OVN.
