 ## 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.
+Create a CNI-network configuration for use with Podman. By default, Podman creates a bridge connection. A
+*Macvlan* connection can be created with the *macvlan* option. In the case of *Macvlan* connections, the
+CNI *dhcp* plugin needs to be activated or the container image must have a DHCP client to interact
+with the host network's DHCP server.
 
 If no options are provided, Podman will assign a free subnet and name for your network.
