The `DRIVER` accepts `bridge` or `overlay` which are the 27 built-in network drivers. If you have installed a third party or your own custom 28 network driver you can specify that `DRIVER` here also. If you don't specify the 29 `--driver` option, the command automatically creates a `bridge` network for you. 30 When you install Docker Engine it creates a `bridge` network automatically. This 31 network corresponds to the `docker0` bridge that Engine has traditionally relied 32 on. When launch a new container with `docker run` it automatically connects to 33 this bridge network. You cannot remove this default bridge network but you can 34 create new ones using the `network create` command. 35 36 ```bash 37 $ docker network create -d bridge my-bridge-network 38 ``` 39 40 Bridge networks are isolated networks on a single Engine installation. If you 41 want to create a network that spans multiple Docker hosts each running an 42 Engine, you must create an `overlay` network. Unlike `bridge` networks overlay 43 networks require some pre-existing conditions before you can create one. These 44 conditions are: 45 46 * Access to a key-value store. Engine supports Consul, Etcd, and Zookeeper (Distributed store) key-value stores. 47 * A cluster of hosts with connectivity to the key-value store. 48 * A properly configured Engine `daemon` on each host in the cluster. 49 50 The `dockerd` options that support the `overlay` network are: 51 52 * `--cluster-store` 53 * `--cluster-store-opt` 54 * `--cluster-advertise` 55 56 To read more about these options and how to configure them, see ["*Get started 57 with multi-host 58 network*"](https://docs.docker.com/engine/userguide/networking/get-started-overlay/). 59 60 It is also a good idea, though not required, that you install Docker Swarm on to 61 manage the cluster that makes up your network. Swarm provides sophisticated 62 discovery and server management that can assist your implementation. 63 64 Once you have prepared the `overlay` network prerequisites you simply choose a 65 Docker host in the cluster and issue the following to create the network: 66 67 ```bash 68 $ docker network create -d overlay my-multihost-network 69 ``` 70 71 Network names must be unique. The Docker daemon attempts to identify naming 72 conflicts but this is not guaranteed. It is the user's responsibility to avoid 73 name conflicts. 74 75 ## Connect containers 76 77 When you start a container use the `--network` flag to connect it to a network. 78 This adds the `busybox` container to the `mynet` network. 79 80 ```bash 81 $ docker run -itd --network=mynet busybox 82 ``` 83 84 If you want to add a container to a network after the container is already 85 running use the `docker network connect` subcommand. 86 87 You can connect multiple containers to the same network. Once connected, the 88 containers can communicate using only another container's IP address or name. 89 For `overlay` networks or custom plugins that support multi-host connectivity, 90 containers connected to the same multi-host network but launched from different 91 Engines can also communicate in this way. 92 93 You can disconnect a container from a network using the `docker network 94 disconnect` command. 95 96 ## Specifying advanced options 97 98 When you create a network, Engine creates a non-overlapping subnetwork for the 99 network by default. This subnetwork is not a subdivision of an existing network. 100 It is purely for ip-addressing purposes. You can override this default and 101 specify subnetwork values directly using the `--subnet` option. On a 102 `bridge` network you can only create a single subnet: 103 104 ```bash 105 $ docker network create -d bridge --subnet=192.168.0.0/16 br0 106 ``` 107 108 Additionally, you also specify the `--gateway` `--ip-range` and `--aux-address` 109 options. 110 111 ```bash 112 $ docker network create \ 113 --driver=bridge \ 114 --subnet=172.28.0.0/16 \ 115 --ip-range=172.28.5.0/24 \ 116 --gateway=172.28.5.254 \ 117 br0 118 ``` 119 120 If you omit the `--gateway` flag the Engine selects one for you from inside a 121 preferred pool. For `overlay` networks and for network driver plugins that 122 support it you can create multiple subnetworks. 123 124 ```bash 125 $ docker network create -d overlay \ 126 --subnet=192.168.0.0/16 \ 127 --subnet=192.170.0.0/16 \ 128 --gateway=192.168.0.100 \ 129 --gateway=192.170.0.100 \ 130 --ip-range=192.168.1.0/24 \ 131 --aux-address="my-router=192.168.1.5" --aux-address="my-switch=192.168.1.6" \ 132 --aux-address="my-printer=192.170.1.5" --aux-address="my-nas=192.170.1.6" \ 133 my-multihost-network 134 ``` 135 136 Be sure that your subnetworks do not overlap. If they do, the network create 137 fails and Engine returns an error. 138 139 ### Network internal mode 140 141 By default, when you connect a container to an `overlay` network, Docker also 142 connects a bridge network to it to provide external connectivity. If you want 143 to create an externally isolated `overlay` network, you can specify the 144 `--internal` option. 145 146 # OPTIONS 147 **--attachable** 148 Enable manual container attachment 149 150 **--aux-address**=map[] 151 Auxiliary IPv4 or IPv6 addresses used by network driver 152 153 **-d**, **--driver**=*DRIVER* 154 Driver to manage the Network bridge or overlay. The default is bridge. 155 156 **--gateway**=[] 157 IPv4 or IPv6 Gateway for the master subnet 158 159 **--help** 160 Print usage 161 162 **--internal** 163 Restrict external access to the network 164 165 **--ip-range**=[] 166 Allocate container ip from a sub-range 167 168 **--ipam-driver**=*default* 169 IP Address Management Driver 170 171 **--ipam-opt**=map[] 172 Set custom IPAM driver options 173 174 **--ipv6** 175 Enable IPv6 networking 176 177 **--label**=*label* 178 Set metadata for a network 179 180 **-o**, **--opt**=map[] 181 Set custom driver options 182 183 **--subnet**=[] 184 Subnet in CIDR format that represents a network segment 185 186 # HISTORY 187 OCT 2015, created by Mary Anthony <mary@docker.com>
