Bridge network driver — Skip Bridge IP address configuration

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). The bridge is normally assigned the network's --gateway address, which is used as the default route from the bridge network to other networks. The com.docker.network.bridge.inhibit_ipv4 option lets you create a network without the IPv4 gateway address being assigned to the bridge. This is useful if you want to configure the gateway IP address for the bridge manually. For instance if you add a physical interface to your bridge, and need it to have the gateway address. With this configuration, north-south traffic (to and from the bridge network) won't work unless you've manually configured the gateway address on the bridge, or a device attached to it. This option can only be used with user-defined bridge networks. Attribution: Adapted from Docker Documentation under Apache-2.0.
