How to make the network overlay global? I am creating the network with Global scope but by default going swarm scope, How can makeoverlay network global

An overlay network is always swarm scoped. You can try to substitute “global” in your command with “local” which will throw a “Error response from daemon: cannot downgrade network scope for overlay networks” error. Every other value than “local” seem to be ignored and result in swarm scope.

Actualy the correct behavior should be that an error is raised and the command fails. Instead the error is sillently surpresed and a fallback to the default value takes place.

Can you please elaborate what you mean with a “global” scoped network?
