-i,--ifname <if>

The name of a physical network adapter on the Parallels server to which this virtual network should be bound.

-m,--mac <mac_address>

The MAC address of a virtual network adapter on the Parallels server to which this virtual network should be bound.

-t,--type < bridged | host-only >

The type of the virtual network to create. Possible values are:

• bridged . A virtual machine and Container connected to this type of virtual network appears as an independent computer on the network.
• host_only (default). A virtual machine and Container connected to this type of virtual network can access only the Parallels server and the virtual machines and Containers connected to the same virtual network.

-d,--description <desc>

--ip6-scope-start <IP_address>

--ip6-scope-end <IP_address>
