|
| |
+ === Manually editing
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ To manually edit a ifcfg connection configuration open or create with a
|
| |
+ text editor the configuration file of the connection located in
|
| |
+ `/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-`
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ A description of most common configuration options is available at:
|
| |
+ http://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/s1-networkscripts-interfaces.html
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ To modify a connection password open with a text editor and edit the
|
| |
+ file "keys-" located in "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/". The password
|
| |
+ is stored in plain text. For example
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ ----
|
| |
+ $ cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/keys-<connection name>
|
| |
+ WPA_PSK='password'
|
| |
+ ----
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ Or if using keyfile, simply edit the connection file located inside
|
| |
+ `/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/`
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ Finally save the files and to apply changes to an already active
|
| |
+ connection execute
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ ----
|
| |
+ nmcli connection up id <connection name>

|
| |
+
|
| |

|
| |
+ == Documentation for NetworkManager Command Line Interface nmcli
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ The primary reference for nmcli are the manual pages nmcli and
|
| |
+ nmcli-examples. For a quick reference, the user can type `nmcli
|
| |
+ [help]` to print the supported options and commands. The help parameter
|
| |
+ can also be used to obtain a more detailed description for the
|
| |
+ individual commands. For example `nmcli connection help` and `nmcli
|
| |
+ connection add help` show a description for the possible connection
|
| |
+ operations and for how to add connections, respectively.
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ The newest version of the manual page can be found on
|
| |
+ https://developer.gnome.org/NetworkManager/unstable/nmcli.html[nmcli]

|
| |
+
|
| |
+ nmcli maybe contain some bugs and lack some features graphical tools for
|
