docker: Display detailed information of a space-separated list of networks.
$ docker network inspect ${network_name}
try on your machine

The command "docker network inspect ${network_name}" is used to view detailed information about a specific network in Docker. It provides a comprehensive overview of the network's configuration, such as its name, ID, subnet information, gateway, and more.

Here is a breakdown of the components of this command:

  • "docker network inspect" is the main command used to inspect Docker networks.
  • "${network_name}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the Docker network you want to inspect.

By executing this command, Docker will retrieve and display information about the specified network, including its connected containers, IP addresses assigned to containers, and any specific network-related configurations.

This information is valuable for troubleshooting network-related issues, understanding network connectivity between containers, and verifying the overall network configuration.
