Now it’s clear, thank you for clarifying.
There is some logic in MAAS that is matching subnets where you have DHCP enabled. This is because MAAS does not know if the external DHCP server is actually pointing to MAAS, so this needs some thinking as we might need the user’s input.
My suggestion would be to not use MAAS to compose VMs: this feature will be dropped in the
future (no ETA, but it will happen) because the general concept is
- you want VMs => use LXD
- you want metal => use MAAS
