81 `volume`=`<volume>` ;;
83 Volume, device or directory to mount into the container.
85 `nameserver`: `<string>` ::

107 Default gateway for IPv6 traffic.
109 `hwaddr`=`<XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX>` ;;
111 The interface MAC address. This is dynamically allocated by default, but you can set that statically if needed, for example to always have the same link-local IPv6 address. (lxc.network.hwaddr)

115 IPv4 address in CIDR format.
117 `ip6`=`<IPv6Format/CIDR>` ;;

153 `protection`: `<boolean>` ('default =' `0`)::
155 Sets the protection flag of the container. This will prevent the CT or CT's disk remove/update operation.
