+## NAME
+podman\-network-create - Create a Podman CNI network
+
+## SYNOPSIS
+**podman network create**  [*options*] name
+
+## DESCRIPTION
+Create a CNI-network configuration for use with Podman. At the time of this writing, the only network
+type that can be created is a *bridge* network.
+
+If no options are provided, Podman will assign a free subnet and name for your network.
+
+Upon completion of creating the network, Podman will display the path to the newly added network file.
+
+## OPTIONS
+**-d**, , **--driver**
+
+Driver to manage the network (default "bridge").  Currently on `bridge` is supported.
+
+**--gateway**
+
+Define a gateway for the subnet. If you want to provide a gateway address, you must also provide a
+*subnet* option.
+
+**--internal**
+
+Restrict external access of this network
+
+**--ip-range**
+
+Allocate container IP from a range.  The range must be a complete subnet and in CIDR notation.  The *ip-range* option
+must be used with a *subnet* option.
+
+**--subnet**
+
+The subnet in CIDR notation.
+
+## EXAMPLE
+
+Create a network with no options
+```
+# podman network create
+/etc/cni/net.d/cni-podman-4.conflist
+```
+
+Create a network named *newnet* that uses *192.5.0.0/16* for its subnet.
+```
+# podman network create --subnet 192.5.0.0/16 newnet
+/etc/cni/net.d/newnet.conflist
+```
+
+Create a network named *newnet* that uses *192.168.33.0/24* and defines a gateway as *192.168.133.3*
+```
+# podman network create --subnet 192.168.33.0/24 --gateway 192.168.33.3 newnet
+/etc/cni/net.d/newnet.conflist
+```
+
+Create a network that uses a *192.168.55.0/24** subnet and has an IP address range of *192.168.55.129 - 192.168.55.254*.
+```
+# podman network create --subnet 192.168.55.0/24 --ip-range 192.168.55.128/25
+/etc/cni/net.d/cni-podman-5.conflist
+```
