Description
Description
I have started multiple copy of apache daemon. Daemons configured to use non local IP address.
Now I want use floating IP feature for daemons redundant.
Say if one demon died, then orchestration daemon assign floating IP to other container.
When I try attach secondary IP to container i get error
$ docker network connect --ip 192.168.54.22 test-net test-pod
Error response from daemon: endpoint with name test-pod already exists in network test-net
Could you allow secondary IP to containers or allow containers have multiple network interfaces to same network.
Steps to reproduce the issue:
Create user defined network
$ docker network create --subnet 192.168.55.0/24 test-net

Create new container
$ docker run -d --name test-pod --network test-net alpine:edge sleep 1000000

Check network interfaces in continer
[safarov@safarov-dell kamailio-upstream]$ docker exec test-pod ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 02:42:C0:A8:37:02

Try assign secondary IP address
$ docker network connect --ip 192.168.55.22 test-net test-pod
Error response from daemon: endpoint with name test-pod already exists in network test-net
Describe the results you received:
I cannot assign secondary IP address to container network interface.
Describe the results you expected:
I can able assign secondary IP address to container network interface.

Research direction
Start with the docker network connect behavior demonstrated in the reproduction, including the endpoint-already-exists error when reusing test-net. Trace the networking entry point for connecting a container and define completion as allowing a secondary IP or multiple interfaces on the same network without that error, with coverage for the shown commands.
