Similar to LXC, LXD 2.x can also assign static IP addresses. Almost similar approach but the files are slightly different.

Also note as of LXD 2.3 there may be networking tools that take care of this. Not looking into 2.3 details yet as Ubuntu Server 16.04.2 LTS is packaged with 2.0.9.

You may also set some of the range setting when the network is being setup on running of the lxd init command.

Also, change the default DHCP range,

# NOTE you can't use these commands as is... because "lxd init" randomly picks the ip subnet.
# When time permits can create scripts on top to compensate.
sudo sed -i 's/LXD_IPV4_DHCP_RANGE="10.232.27.2,10.232.27.254"/LXD_IPV4_DHCP_RANGE="10.232.27.100,10.232.27.254"' /etc/default/lxd-bridge
sudo sed -i 's/LXD_IPV4_DHCP_MAX="252"/LXD_IPV4_DHCP_MAX="154"' /etc/default/lxd-bridge

This will make available 10.232.27.3 to 10.232.99.

Create a dnsmasq.conf file where you may reserve IP Addresses based on server names,

... refer to the LXC instructions until incorporated here...

Modify /etc/default/lxd-bridge to reference an external dnsmasq.conf file,

sudo cp /etc/default/lxd-bridge /etc/default/lxd-bridge.ori
# This line does not work yet, I need lookup how to escape the /.
sudo sed -i 's/LXD_CONFILE=""/LXD_CONFILE="\/opt\/lxd\/dnsmasq.conf"' /etc/default/lxd-bridge
