6 podman-network-create - Create a Podman CNI network
7
10 podman network create [options] name
11
14 Create a CNI-network configuration for use with Podman. By default,
15 Podman creates a bridge connection. A Macvlan connection can be cre‐
16 ated with the -d macvlan option. A parent device for macvlan can be
17 designated with the -o parent=<device> option. In the case of Macvlan
18 connections, the CNI dhcp plugin needs to be activated or the container
19 image must have a DHCP client to interact with the host network's DHCP
20 server.
21 If no options are provided, Podman will assign a free subnet and name
24 for your network.
25 Upon completion of creating the network, Podman will display the path
28 to the newly added network file.
29
32 --disable-dns
33 Disables the DNS plugin for this network which if enabled, can perform
34 container to container name resolution.
35 --driver, -d
38 Driver to manage the network. Currently bridge and macvlan is sup‐
39 ported. Defaults to bridge. As rootless the macvlan driver has no ac‐
40 cess to the host network interfaces because rootless networking re‐
41 quires a separate network namespace.
42 --opt=option, -o
45 Set driver specific options.
46 For the bridge driver the following options are supported: mtu and
49 vlan. The mtu option sets the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) and
50 takes an integer value. The vlan option assign VLAN tag and enables
51 vlan_filtering. Defaults to none.
52 --gateway
55 Define a gateway for the subnet. If you want to provide a gateway ad‐
56 dress, you must also provide a subnet option.
57 --internal
60 Restrict external access of this network. Note when using this option,
61 the dnsname plugin will be automatically disabled.
62 --ip-range
65 Allocate container IP from a range. The range must be a complete sub‐
66 net and in CIDR notation. The ip-range option must be used with a sub‐
67 net option.
68 --label
71 Set metadata for a network (e.g., --label mykey=value).
72 --subnet
75 The subnet in CIDR notation.
76 --ipv6
79 Enable IPv6 (Dual Stack) networking. You must pass a IPv6 subnet. The
80 subnet option must be used with the ipv6 option.
81
84 Create a network with no options
85 # podman network create
88 /etc/cni/net.d/cni-podman-4.conflist
89 Create a network named newnet that uses 192.5.0.0/16 for its subnet.
93 # podman network create --subnet 192.5.0.0/16 newnet
96 /etc/cni/net.d/newnet.conflist
97 Create an IPv6 network named newnetv6, you must specify the subnet for
101 this network, otherwise the command will fail. For this example, we
102 use 2001:db8::/64 for its subnet.
103 # podman network create --subnet 2001:db8::/64 --ipv6 newnetv6
106 /etc/cni/net.d/newnetv6.conflist
107 Create a network named newnet that uses 192.168.33.0/24 and defines a
111 gateway as 192.168.133.3
112 # podman network create --subnet 192.168.33.0/24 --gateway 192.168.33.3 newnet
115 /etc/cni/net.d/newnet.conflist
116 Create a network that uses a *192.168.55.0/24** subnet and has an IP
120 address range of 192.168.55.129 - 192.168.55.254.
121 # podman network create --subnet 192.168.55.0/24 --ip-range 192.168.55.128/25
124 /etc/cni/net.d/cni-podman-5.conflist
125 Create a Macvlan based network using the host interface eth0
129 # podman network create -d macvlan -o parent=eth0 newnet
132 /etc/cni/net.d/newnet.conflist
