how to create a macvlan network interface in the same network as the host?

I am new to unix/linux systems and I am trying to bring up a macvlan interface in the same network as the host e.g. if the eth0 of host has ip 1.2.3.4 I want to create an interface having an ip 1.2.3.xx/24 whenever I do that entries in the routing table change and the whole network connectivity is lost.

Can anyone help me?

I added the following in my /etc/network/interfaces file

auto macvlan0`
iface macvlan0 inet static
  address 192.168.1.142
  netmask 255.255.255.0

Install dnsmasq if it isn't installed and re-try. Post your results

Create the interface from the command line to test.

ip link add virtual0 link eth0 type macvlan mode bridge

ip address add 10.10.10.88/24 broadcast 10.10.10.255 dev virtual0

substitute the IPs in your environment.
