For example, Home Assistant exists on the `192.168.3.0/24` network but it needs to also access devices on the `192.168.4.0/24` surveillance network. To facilitate this, we will make a MACVLAN Sub-Interface. This will make a virtual interface that is parented to the actual physical interface. + +!!! info "Assumptions" + It is assumed that you are running Rocky Linux (or CentOS / RedHat). + +## Create the Temporary Interface +You will begin with making a new interface, it will have the name `macvlan0`. +``` sh +ip link add macvlan0 link eno1 type macvlan mode bridge +ip addr add 192.168.4.100/24 dev macvlan0 +ip link set macvlan0 up +``` + +## Bind a Docker Network to the Sub-Interface +Now you need to run the following command to allow docker to use this interface for the `surveillance_network` +``` sh +docker network create -d macvlan --subnet=192.168.4.0/24 --gateway=192.168.4.1 -o parent=macvlan0 surveillance_network +``` \ No newline at end of file
