Documented steps Create with `docker network create -d ipvlan --subnet=192.168.1.0/24 --gateway=192.168.1.1 -o ipvlan_mode=l2 -o parent=eth0 db_net`. Choose the mode with `-o ipvlan_mode=` (l2 default, l3, or l3s). Attach containers with `docker run --net=db_net ...`; Docker's built-in name resolution works between containers by name. For VLAN tagging use a parent sub-interface, e.g. `-o parent=eth0.10` for VLAN 10 (sub-interfaces are created on the fly). For routed multi-subnet setups use `-o ipvlan_mode=l3` (gateway flag ignored in l3; default route points at the parent device). Verify with `docker network inspect db_net`. Docs: https://docs.docker.com/engine/network/drivers/ipvlan/ Known gotchas Requires Linux; ipvlan needs kernel v4.2+ (check uname -r) and is not available on Docker Desktop for Windows. Containers cannot ping the underlying host interfaces (intentional Linux isolation). If --gateway is omitted, the first usable address on the subnet becomes the gateway (e.g. 192.168.1.0/24 -> 192.168.1.1). In l2 mode different subnets cannot ping each other without an external router or proxy-ARP; l3 mode routes between subnets sharing the same parent. docker network rm deletes sub-interfaces it created but never deletes the parent interface (e.g. eth0).
