A container can be connected to a network by name or by ID. 11 Once connected, the container can communicate with other containers in the same network. 12 13 ## OPTIONS 14 #### **--alias**=*name* 15 Add network-scoped alias for the container. If the network has DNS enabled (`podman network inspect -f {{.DNSEnabled}} <NAME>`), 16 these aliases can be used for name resolution on the given network. Multiple *--alias* options may be specified as input. 17 NOTE: When using CNI, a container only has access to aliases on the first network that it joins. This limitation does 18 not exist with netavark/aardvark-dns. 19 20 #### **--ip**=*address* 21 Set a static ipv4 address for this container on this network. 22 23 #### **--ip6**=*address* 24 Set a static ipv6 address for this container on this network. 25 26 #### **--mac-address**=*address* 27 Set a static mac address for this container on this network. 28 29 ## EXAMPLE 30 31 Connect specified container to a named network: 32 ``` 33 podman network connect test web 34 ``` 35 36 Connect specified container to named network with two aliases: 37 ``` 38 podman network connect --alias web1 --alias web2 test web 39 ``` 40 41 Connect specified container to named network with a static ip: 42 ``` 43 podman network connect --ip 10.89.1.13 test web 44 ``` 45 46 ## SEE ALSO 47 **[podman(1)](podman.1.md)**, **[podman-network(1)](podman-network.1.md)**, **[podman-network-inspect(1)](podman-network-inspect.1.md)**, **[podman-network-disconnect(1)](podman-network-disconnect.1.md)** 48 49 ## HISTORY 50 November 2020, Originally compiled by Brent Baude <bbaude@redhat.com>
