+### Default network options
+
+The `default-network-opts` key in the `daemon.json` configuration file, and the
+equivalent `--default-network-opt` CLI flag, let you specify default values for
+driver network driver options for new networks.
+
+The following example shows how to configure options for the `bridge` driver
+using the `daemon.json` file.
+
+```json
+{
+  "default-network-opts": {
+    "bridge": {
+      "com.docker.network.bridge.host_binding_ipv4": "127.0.0.1",
+      "com.docker.network.bridge.mtu": "1234"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This example uses the `bridge` network driver. Refer to the
+[bridge network driver page](https://docs.docker.com/network/drivers/bridge/#options)
+for an overview of available driver options.
+
+After changing the configuration and restarting the daemon, new networks that
+you create use these option configurations as defaults.
+
+```console
+$ docker network create mynet
+$ docker network inspect mynet --format "{{json .Options}}"
+{"com.docker.network.bridge.host_binding_ipv4":"127.0.0.1","com.docker.network.bridge.mtu":"1234"}
+```
+
+Note that changing this daemon configuration doesn't affect pre-existing
+networks.
+
+Using the `--default-network-opt` CLI flag is useful for testing and debugging
+purposes, but you should prefer using the `daemon.json` file for persistent
+daemon configuration. The CLI flag expects a value with the following format:
+`driver=opt=value`, for example:
+
+```console
+$ sudo dockerd \
+  --default-network-opt bridge=com.docker.network.bridge.host_binding_ipv4=127.0.0.1 \
+  --default-network-opt bridge=com.docker.network.bridge.mtu=1234
+```
