Use the docker network create command to create a user-defined bridge network.
Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```console
$ docker network create my-net
```
You can specify the subnet, the IP address range, the gateway, and other options. See the docker network create reference or the output of docker network create --help for details.
Use the docker network rm command to remove a user-defined bridge network. If containers are currently connected to the network, disconnect them first.

> What's really happening? > > When you create or remove a user-defined bridge or connect or disconnect a > container from a user-defined bridge, Docker uses tools specific to the > operating system to manage the underlying network infrastructure (such as adding > or removing bridge devices or configuring iptables rules on Linux). These > details should be considered implementation details. Let Docker manage your > user-defined networks for you.
