+# Manually connect containers to a network card
+
+Sometimes you may need to attach some containers NICs to the network cards of the machines hosting them, for example to run some data plane traffic through them.
+
+Although CORD doesn't fully support this natively there are some (hackish) ways to do this manually.
+
+## Create a bridge and a veth
+
+The easiest way to do this is to skip Kubernetes and directly attach the Docker container link it to the host network interface, through a Virtual Ethernet Interface Pair (veth pair).
+
+Let's see how.
+
+For completeness, let's assume you're running a three nodes Kubernetes deployment, and that you're trying to attach a container *already deployed* called *vcore-5b4c5478f-lxrpb* to a physical interface *eth1* (already existing on one of the three hosts, running your container). The virtual interface inside the container will be called *eth2*.
+
+You got the name of the container running
+
+```shell
+$ kubectl get pods [-n NAMESPACE]
+NAME                      READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
+vcore-5b4c5478f-lxrpb     1/1       Running   1          7d
+```
+
+Find out on which of the three nodes the container has been deployed
+
+```shell
+$ kubectl describe pod  vcore-5b4c5478f-lxrpb | grep Node
+Node:           node3/10.90.0.103
+Node-Selectors:  <none>
+```
+As you can see from the first line, the container has been deployed by Kubernetes on the Docker daemon running on node 3 (this is just an example). In this case, with IP *10.90.0.103*.
+
+Let's SSH into the node and let's look for the specific Docker container ID
+
+```shell
+$ container_id=$(sudo docker ps | grep vcore-5b4c5478f-lxrpb | head -n 1 | awk '{print $1}')
+85fed7deea7b
+```
+
+The interface on the hosting machine should be turned off first
+
+```shell
+sudo ip link set eth1 down
+```
+
+Create a veth called *veth0* and let's add to it the new virtual interface *eth2*
+
+```shell
+sudo ip link add veth0 type veth peer name eth2
+```
+
+Add the virtual network interface *eth2* to the container namespace
+
+```shell
+sudo ip link set eth2 netns ${container_id}
+```
+
+Bring up the virtual interface
+
+```shell
+sudo ip netns exec ${container_id} ip link set eth2 up
+```
+
+Bring up *veth0*
+
+```shell
+sudo ip link set veth0 up
+```
+
+Create a bridge named *br1*. Add *veth0* to it and the host interface *eth1*
+
+```shell
+sudo ip link add br1 type bridge
+sudo ip link set veth0 master br1
+sudo ip link set eth1 master br1
+
+```
+
+Bring up again the host interface and the bridge
+
+```shell
+sudo ip link set eth1 up
+sudo ip link set br1 up
+```
+
+At this point, you should see an additional interface *eth2* inside the container
+
+```shell
+$ kubectl exec -it vcore-5b4c5478f-lxrpb /bin/bash
+$ ip link show
+$ node3:~$ ip link show
+1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1
+    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
+2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
+    link/ether c4:54:44:8f:b7:74 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
+3: eth2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
+    link/ether d6:84:33:2f:8c:92 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
+```
+
+## Cleanup (remove veth and bridge)
+
+As a follow up of the previous example, let's now try to delete what has been created so far, to bring the system back to the original state.
+
+```shell
+ip link set veth0 down
+ip link delete veth0
+ip netns exec ${container_id} ip link set eth2 down
+ip netns exec ${container_id} ip link delete eth2
+ip link set eth1 down
+ip link set br1 down
+brctl delbr br1
+ip link set eth1 up
+```
