Creating a bridge network

To create a bridge network, we can use the following command:

$ docker network create testnetwork  

Run this now in your terminal and list the networks again to see the results.

You will see that there is now a fourth network in your list that uses the bridge driver and that has the name you specified as one of the arguments. By default, when you create a network, it uses the bridge as a default driver, of course, it is possible to create a network to a custom driver, and this can be easily facilitated by specifying the additional argument, -d drivername.
