### Bridge driver options
150150

151-
When creating a custom network, the default network driver (i.e. `bridge`) has
152-
additional options that can be passed. The following are those options and the
153-
equivalent Docker daemon flags used for docker0 bridge:
154-
155-
| Option | Equivalent | Description |
156-
|--------------------------------------------------|-------------|-------------------------------------------------------|
157-
| `com.docker.network.bridge.name` | - | Bridge name to be used when creating the Linux bridge |
158-
| `com.docker.network.bridge.enable_ip_masquerade` | `--ip-masq` | Enable IP masquerading |
159-
| `com.docker.network.bridge.enable_icc` | `--icc` | Enable or Disable Inter Container Connectivity |
160-
| `com.docker.network.bridge.host_binding_ipv4` | `--ip` | Default IP when binding container ports |
161-
| `com.docker.network.driver.mtu` | `--mtu` | Set the containers network MTU |
162-
| `com.docker.network.container_iface_prefix` | - | Set a custom prefix for container interfaces |
151+
When creating a custom `bridge` network, the following additional options can
152+
be passed. Some of these have equivalent flags that can be used on the dockerd
153+
command line or in `daemon.json` to configure the default bridge, `docker0`:
154+
155+
| Network create option | Daemon option for `docker0` | Description |
156+
|--------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------|
157+
| `com.docker.network.bridge.name` | - | Bridge name to be used when creating the Linux bridge |
158+
| `com.docker.network.bridge.enable_ip_masquerade` | `--ip-masq` | Enable IP masquerading |
159+
| `com.docker.network.bridge.enable_icc` | `--icc` | Enable or Disable Inter Container Connectivity |
160+
| `com.docker.network.bridge.host_binding_ipv4` | `--ip` | Default IP when binding container ports |
161+
| `com.docker.network.driver.mtu` | `--mtu` | Set the containers network MTU |
162+
| `com.docker.network.container_iface_prefix` | - | Set a custom prefix for container interfaces |

The following arguments can be passed to `docker network create` for any
165165
network driver, again with their approximate equivalents to Docker daemon
166-
flags used for the docker0 bridge:
167-
168-
| Argument | Equivalent | Description |
169-
|--------------|-----------------------------------|--------------------------------------------|
170-
| `--gateway` | - | IPv4 or IPv6 Gateway for the master subnet |
171-
| `--ip-range` | `--fixed-cidr`, `--fixed-cidr-v6` | Allocate IPs from a range |
172-
| `--internal` | - | Restrict external access to the network |
173-
| `--ipv6` | `--ipv6` | Enable or disable IPv6 networking |
174-
| `--subnet` | `--bip`, `--bip6` | Subnet for network |
166+
flags used for the `docker0` bridge:
167+
168+
| Network create option | Daemon option for `docker0` | Description |
169+
|-----------------------|-----------------------------------|--------------------------------------------|
170+
| `--gateway` | - | IPv4 or IPv6 Gateway for the master subnet |
171+
| `--ip-range` | `--fixed-cidr`, `--fixed-cidr-v6` | Allocate IP addresses from a range |
172+
| `--internal` | - | Restrict external access to the network |
173+
| `--ipv6` | `--ipv6` | Enable or disable IPv6 networking |
174+
| `--subnet` | `--bip`, `--bip6` | Subnet for network |

For example, let's use `-o` or `--opt` options to specify an IP address binding
