When you run docker on your local host, you get a NAT network for free. This comes with a private address space.

To view the details of this network, just type the powershell command –

get-containernetwork

To view the network at the host level, type ipconfig – it should show up as a virtual network that is different from the actual physical ethernet network.

To see what new types of networks can be created, type

new-containernetwork

To update the docker daemon.json file

1. invoke item (ii) from a powershell prompt – and browse to c:\program files\docker\

2. Edit the range of private IP addresses, if that’s what you want for your default NAT network.

3. Edit to bridge = none – to use a Transparent network (instead of the default NAT network)
