independent communication through the bridge and multicast MAC
* <tt>mac</tt> is its MAC address in the CT
* <tt>host_ifname</tt> is the Ethernet device name on the host ([[CT0]])
* <tt>host_mac</tt> is its MAC address on the host ([[CT0]]), if you want independent communication with the Container through the bridge, you should explicitly specify multicast MAC address here (FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF).
* <tt>bridge</tt> is an optional parameter which can be used in custom network start scripts to automatically add the interface to a bridge. (See the reference to the vznetaddbr script below and persistent bridge configurations.)
{{Note|All parameters except <code>ifname</code> are optional. Missing parameters, except for bridge, are automatically generated, if not specified. This is the preferred method.}}
Example:
vzctl set 101 --netif_add eth0,00:12:34:56:78:9A,veth101.0,00:12:34:56:78:9B --save
 
If you want to use independent communication through the bridge:
 
vzctl set 101 --netif_add eth0,00:12:34:56:78:9A,veth101.0,FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF,vzbr0 --save
If you want to specify the bridge and autogenerate the other values:
