      .The `vrf` option for the `podman network create` is available as a Technology Preview

      The `podman network create` command now provides the `vrf` value for the `--opt` option, as a Technology Preview. The `vrf` value assigns a virtual routing and forwarding instance (VRF) to the bridge interface. It accepts the name of the VRF and defaults to none.

      [[WARNING]]
      ====
      This option can only be used with the Netavark network backend.

      The `-opt` option for the `podman network create` command accepts the value "vrf" which assigns a VRF to the created network.  This was an option created by someone upstream outside of Red Hat and does not have much testing.  We need to do further testing as issues have already been reported against this option.

      Since it has not been documented in RHEL, we want to call it a Tech Preview for RHEL 9.6/10.0.  If this change can not be made in time for the scheduled release of the RHEL 9.6/10.0 docs, please let me know.

       

      Possible doc text:

       

      The vrf value for the --opt option of  podman network create command is Experimental and Technical Preview.
