How to change NAT method to Route method when using command "docker network create ..."

Hello Dear,

I was trying to use the following command to crate a docker container network without NAT.

docker network create --driver=bridge --subnet=172.18.121.0/24 --gateway=172.18.121.1 --opt ip-masq=false br0

Then I was trying to disable iptables when starting docker daemon, my way is to add a file named "daemon.json" located in directory "/etc/docker/".

[root@wenca-centos121 ~]# vi /etc/docker/daemon.json
{
“debug”: true,
“iptables”: false
}

I am hoping that my external device like a Router can directly access to my container running on CENTOS 7. 

However it failed when I view iptables nat table.

[root@wenca-centos121 ~]# iptables -t nat -L POSTROUTING
Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
MASQUERADE all – 172.18.121.0/24 anywhere

Below are my host and docker configuration and info. Did someone meet it? Thanks.
