 You can see that the Engine automatically assigns an IP address to `container2`.

+Given we specified a `--subnet` when creating the network, Engine picked
-would have used that addressing. Now, start a third container and connect it to
+an address from that same subnet. Now, start a third container and connect it to
 the network on launch using the `docker run` command's `--net` option:
 
 ```bash

 ```
 
+As you can see you were able to specify the ip address for your container.
+As long as the network to which the container is connecting was created with
+a user specified subnet, you will be able to select the IPv4 and/or IPv6 address(es)
+for your container when executing `docker run` and `docker network connect` commands.
+The selected IP address is part of the container networking configuration and will be
+preserved across container reload. The feature is only available on user defined networks,
+because they guarantee their subnets configuration does not change across daemon reload.

 Now, inspect the network resources used by `container3`.
