Documented steps

  1. Use a dotted parent name so Docker auto-creates the 802.1Q VLAN sub-interface, e.g. docker network create -d macvlan --subnet=192.168.50.0/24 --gateway=192.168.50.1 -o parent=eth0.50 macvlan50 (VLAN 50).
  2. Attach containers; their traffic is tagged with VLAN 50 at the interface.
  3. Verify the sub-interface appears (ip link) and that packets carry the VLAN tag.
  4. Official docs: docs.docker.com/network/drivers/macvlan
