## NAME
|
|
podman\-network-create - Create a Podman network
|
|
|
|
## SYNOPSIS
|
|
**podman network create** [*options*] [*name*]
|
|
|
|
## DESCRIPTION
|
|
Create a network configuration for use with Podman. By default, Podman creates a bridge connection.
|
|
A *Macvlan* connection can be created with the *-d macvlan* option. A parent device for macvlan can
|
|
be designated with the *-o parent=`<device>`* option.
|
|
|
|
If no options are provided, Podman will assign a free subnet and name for your network.
|
|
|
|
Upon completion of creating the network, Podman will display the name of the newly added network.
|
|
|
|
## OPTIONS
|
|
#### **--disable-dns**
|
|
|
|
Disables the DNS plugin for this network which if enabled, can perform container to container name
|
|
resolution.
|
|
|
|
#### **--driver**, **-d**
|
|
|
|
Driver to manage the network. Currently `bridge`, `macvlan` and `ipvlan` are supported. Defaults to `bridge`.
|
|
As rootless the `macvlan` and `ipvlan` driver have no access to the host network interfaces because rootless networking requires a separate network namespace.
|
|
|
|
Special considerations for the *netavark* backend:
|
|
- The `macvlan` driver requires the `--subnet` option, DHCP is currently not supported.
|
|
- The `ipvlan` driver is not currently supported.
|
|
|
|
#### **--gateway**
|
|
|
|
Define a gateway for the subnet. If you want to provide a gateway address, you must also provide a
|
|
*subnet* option. Can be specified multiple times.
|
|
The argument order of the **--subnet**, **--gateway** and **--ip-range** options must match.
|
|
|
|
#### **--internal**
|
|
|
|
Restrict external access of this network. Note when using this option, the dnsname plugin will be
|
|
automatically disabled.
|
|
|
|
#### **--ip-range**
|
|
|
|
Allocate container IP from a range. The range must be a complete subnet and in CIDR notation. The *ip-range* option
|
|
must be used with a *subnet* option. Can be specified multiple times.
|
|
The argument order of the **--subnet**, **--gateway** and **--ip-range** options must match.
|
|
|
|
#### **--ipam-driver**=*driver*
|
|
|
|
Set the ipam driver (IP Address Management Driver) for the network. When unset podman will choose an
|
|
ipam driver automatically based on the network driver. Valid values are:
|
|
- `host-local`: IP addresses are assigned locally.
|
|
- `dhcp`: IP addresses are assigned from a dhcp server on your network. This driver is not yet supported with netavark. For CNI the *dhcp* plugin needs to be activated before.
|
|
- `none`: No ip addresses are assigned to the interfaces.
|
|
|
|
You can see the driver in the **podman network inspect** output under the `ipam_options` field.
|
|
|
|
#### **--ipv6**
|
|
|
|
Enable IPv6 (Dual Stack) networking. If not subnets are given it will allocate a ipv4 and ipv6 subnet.
|
|
|
|
#### **--label**
|
|
|
|
Set metadata for a network (e.g., --label mykey=value).
|
|
|
|
#### **--opt**, **-o**=*option*
|
|
|
|
Set driver specific options.
|
|
|
|
All drivers accept the `mtu` option. The `mtu` option sets the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) and takes an integer value.
|
|
|
|
Additionally the `bridge` driver supports the following options:
|
|
- `vlan`: This option assign VLAN tag and enables vlan\_filtering. Defaults to none.
|
|
- `isolate`: This option isolates networks by blocking traffic between those that have this option enabled.
|
|
|
|
The `macvlan` and `ipvlan` driver support the following options:
|
|
- `parent`: The host device which should be used for the macvlan interface. Defaults to the default route interface.
|
|
- `mode`: This option sets the specified ip/macvlan mode on the interface.
|
|
- Supported values for `macvlan` are `bridge`, `private`, `vepa`, `passthru`. Defaults to `bridge`.
|
|
- Supported values for `ipvlan` are `l2`, `l3`, `l3s`. Defaults to `l2`.
|
|
|
|
#### **--subnet**
|
|
|
|
The subnet in CIDR notation. Can be specified multiple times to allocate more than one subnet for this network.
|
|
The argument order of the **--subnet**, **--gateway** and **--ip-range** options must match.
|
|
This is useful to set a static ipv4 and ipv6 subnet.
|
|
|
|
## EXAMPLE
|
|
|
|
Create a network with no options.
|
|
```
|
|
$ podman network create
|
|
podman2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create a network named *newnet* that uses *192.5.0.0/16* for its subnet.
|
|
```
|
|
$ podman network create --subnet 192.5.0.0/16 newnet
|
|
newnet
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create an IPv6 network named *newnetv6* with a subnet of *2001:db8::/64*.
|
|
```
|
|
$ podman network create --subnet 2001:db8::/64 --ipv6 newnetv6
|
|
newnetv6
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create a network named *newnet* that uses *192.168.33.0/24* and defines a gateway as *192.168.133.3*.
|
|
```
|
|
$ podman network create --subnet 192.168.33.0/24 --gateway 192.168.33.3 newnet
|
|
newnet
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create a network that uses a *192.168.55.0/24** subnet and has an IP address range of *192.168.55.129 - 192.168.55.254*.
|
|
```
|
|
$ podman network create --subnet 192.168.55.0/24 --ip-range 192.168.55.128/25
|
|
podman5
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create a network with a static ipv4 and ipv6 subnet and set a gateway.
|
|
```
|
|
$ podman network create --subnet 192.168.55.0/24 --gateway 192.168.55.3 --subnet fd52:2a5a:747e:3acd::/64 --gateway fd52:2a5a:747e:3acd::10
|
|
podman4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create a Macvlan based network using the host interface eth0. Macvlan networks can only be used as root.
|
|
```
|
|
# podman network create -d macvlan -o parent=eth0 --subnet 192.5.0.0/16 newnet
|
|
newnet
|
|
```
|
|
