Adding a new chapter: limitations
down ip addr del 3620:0:2d0:1::193/64 dev eth0
</code>
== Limitations ==
=== No [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address_Resolution_Protocol ARP] protocol support ===
Venet network device is explicitly NOARP, so there is no MAC address.
Consequently, it's not possible to make broadcasts inside a [[CT|container]], so software like Samba server or DHCP server, will not function (under a container with a venet network device).<br />
Please consider use of [[veth]] network device if you need this feature
=== No bridge support ===
Venet network device cannot be bridged together and/or with other devices.<br />
Please consider use of [[veth]] network device if you need this feature
=== No possiblity to assign an IP from the CT ===
With venet device, only OpenVZ [[Hardware_Node|hardware node]] administrator can assign an IP address to a [[CT|container]].<br />
