# NAME
docker-network-inspect - inspect a network
# SYNOPSIS
**docker network inspect**
[**-f**|**--format**[=*FORMAT*]]
[**--help**]
NETWORK [NETWORK...]
# 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 the default `bridge` 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. You can specify an alternate format to execute a given
template for each result. Go's
[text/template](http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/) package
describes all the details of the format.
```bash
$ sudo docker network inspect bridge
