# NAME
docker-network-inspect - inspect a network

# SYNOPSIS
**docker network inspect NETWORK [NETWORK...]**

[**--help**]

# DESCRIPTION

Returns information about one or more networks. By default, this command renders all results in a JSON object. For example, if you connect two containers to a network:

```bash
$ sudo docker run -itd --name=container1 busybox
f2870c98fd504370fb86e59f32cd0753b1ac9b69b7d80566ffc7192a82b3ed27

$ sudo docker run -itd --name=container2 busybox
bda12f8922785d1f160be70736f26c1e331ab8aaf8ed8d56728508f2e2fd4727
```

The `network inspect` command shows the containers, by id, in its results.

```bash
$ sudo docker network inspect bridge
[
  {
      "name": "bridge",
      "id": "7fca4eb8c647e57e9d46c32714271e0c3f8bf8d17d346629e2820547b2d90039",
