--- name: "docker-network-ls" section: "1" platform: "linux" package: "docker" version: "1:29.9.2-1" release: "Arch Linux 2026-11-01" platforms: ["linux"] url: "https://new.carta.tech/docker-network-ls" --- # docker-network-ls(1) List networks ## NAME docker-network-ls - List networks ## SYNOPSIS **docker network ls \[OPTIONS\]** ## DESCRIPTION Lists all the networks the Engine **daemon** knows about. This includes the networks that span across multiple hosts in a cluster, for example: ``` $ docker network ls NETWORK ID NAME DRIVER SCOPE 7fca4eb8c647 bridge bridge local 9f904ee27bf5 none null local cf03ee007fb4 host host local 78b03ee04fc4 multi-host overlay swarm ``` Use the **--no-trunc** option to display the full network id: ``` $ docker network ls --no-trunc NETWORK ID NAME DRIVER 18a2866682b85619a026c81b98a5e375bd33e1b0936a26cc497c283d27bae9b3 none null c288470c46f6c8949c5f7e5099b5b7947b07eabe8d9a27d79a9cbf111adcbf47 host host 7b369448dccbf865d397c8d2be0cda7cf7edc6b0945f77d2529912ae917a0185 bridge bridge 95e74588f40db048e86320c6526440c504650a1ff3e9f7d60a497c4d2163e5bd foo bridge 63d1ff1f77b07ca51070a8c227e962238358bd310bde1529cf62e6c307ade161 dev bridge ``` ## Filtering The filtering flag (**-f** or **--filter**) format is a **key=value** pair. If there is more than one filter, then pass multiple flags (e.g. **--filter "foo=bar" --filter "bif=baz"**). Multiple filter flags are combined as an **OR** filter. For example, **-f type=custom -f type=builtin** returns both **custom** and **builtin** networks. The currently supported filters are: - • driver - • id (network's id) - • label (**label=\** or **label=\=\**) - • name (network's name) - • scope (**swarm\|global\|local**) - • type (custom\|builtin) ### Driver The **driver** filter matches networks based on their driver. The following example matches networks with the **bridge** driver: ``` $ docker network ls --filter driver=bridge NETWORK ID NAME DRIVER db9db329f835 test1 bridge f6e212da9dfd test2 bridge ``` ### ID The **id** filter matches on all or part of a network's ID. The following filter matches all networks with an ID containing the **63d1ff1f77b0...** string. ``` $ docker network ls --filter id=63d1ff1f77b07ca51070a8c227e962238358bd310bde1529cf62e6c307ade161 NETWORK ID NAME DRIVER 63d1ff1f77b0 dev bridge ``` You can also filter for a substring in an ID as this shows: ``` $ docker network ls --filter id=95e74588f40d NETWORK ID NAME DRIVER 95e74588f40d foo bridge $ docker network ls --filter id=95e NETWORK ID NAME DRIVER 95e74588f40d foo bridge ``` ### Label The **label** filter matches networks based on the presence of a **label** alone or a **label** and a value. The following filter matches networks with the **usage** label regardless of its value. ``` $ docker network ls -f "label=usage" NETWORK ID NAME DRIVER db9db329f835 test1 bridge f6e212da9dfd test2 bridge ``` The following filter matches networks with the **usage** label with the **prod** value. ``` $ docker network ls -f "label=usage=prod" NETWORK ID NAME DRIVER f6e212da9dfd test2 bridge ``` ### Name The **name** filter matches on all or part of a network's name. The following filter matches all networks with a name containing the **foobar** string. ``` $ docker network ls --filter name=foobar NETWORK ID NAME DRIVER 06e7eef0a170 foobar bridge ``` You can also filter for a substring in a name as this shows: ``` $ docker network ls --filter name=foo NETWORK ID NAME DRIVER 95e74588f40d foo bridge 06e7eef0a170 foobar bridge ``` ### Scope The **scope** filter matches networks based on their scope. The following example matches networks with the **swarm** scope: ``` $ docker network ls --filter scope=swarm NETWORK ID NAME DRIVER SCOPE xbtm0v4f1lfh ingress overlay swarm ic6r88twuu92 swarmnet overlay swarm ``` The following example matches networks with the **local** scope: ``` $ docker network ls --filter scope=local NETWORK ID NAME DRIVER SCOPE e85227439ac7 bridge bridge local 0ca0e19443ed host host local ca13cc149a36 localnet bridge local f9e115d2de35 none null local ``` ### Type The **type** filter supports two values; **builtin** displays predefined networks (**bridge**, **none**, **host**), whereas **custom** displays user defined networks. The following filter matches all user defined networks: ``` $ docker network ls --filter type=custom NETWORK ID NAME DRIVER 95e74588f40d foo bridge 63d1ff1f77b0 dev bridge ``` By having this flag it allows for batch cleanup. For example, use this filter to delete all user defined networks: ``` $ docker network rm `docker network ls --filter type=custom -q` ``` A warning will be issued when trying to remove a network that has containers attached. ## Format Format uses a Go template to print the output. The following variables are supported: - • .ID - Network ID - • .Name - Network name - • .Driver - Network driver - • .Scope - Network scope (local, global) - • .IPv6 - Whether IPv6 is enabled on the network or not - • .Internal - Whether the network is internal or not - • .Labels - All labels assigned to the network - • .Label - Value of a specific label for this network. For example **{{.Label "project.version"}}** ## OPTIONS **-f**, **--filter**=\ Provide filter values (e.g. "driver=bridge") **--format**=""\ Format output using a custom template: 'table': Print output in table format with column headers (default) 'table TEMPLATE': Print output in table format using the given Go template 'json': Print in JSON format 'TEMPLATE': Print output using the given Go template.
