Set the ipam driver (IP Address Management Driver) for the network. When unset, Podman chooses an ipam driver automatically based on the network driver.

Valid values are:

• dhcp: IP addresses are assigned from a DHCP server on the network. When using the netavark backend the netavark-dhcp-proxy.socket must be enabled in order to start the DHCP proxy when a container is started, for CNI use the cni-dhcp.socket unit instead.
• host-local: IP addresses are assigned locally.
• none: No ip addresses are assigned to the interfaces.

View the driver in the podman network inspect output under the ipam_options field.
