Can I exclude a IP address from a MacVLAN network

Question

I am already using a given IP address. Can I exclude it from  MacVLAN Network? If Yes, How?

Answer 1

Yes, this is certainly possible.

If you need to exclude IP addresses from being used in the Macvlan network, such as when a given IP address is already in use, use --aux-addresses as shown in the code snippet below:

$ docker network create -d macvlan  \
  --subnet=192.168.32.0/24  \
  --ip-range=192.168.32.128/25 \
  --gateway=192.168.32.254  \
  --aux-address="my-router=192.168.32.129" \
  -o parent=eth0 macnet32
