|

|
| |
+ ----
|
| |
+ nmcli> goto ipv4
|
| |
+ ----
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ Note that after this our prompt has changed to indicate that we are currently editing the `ipv4` setting:

+ nmcli ipv4>

+
|
| |
+ List available properties under the `ipv4` setting and describe the `method` property:

+ ----
|

+
|

+ Set property `method` to `auto`:
|
| |
+ ----
|
| |
+ nmcli ipv4> set method auto
|
| |
+ ----
|
| |

|
| |
+ The `ipv4` setting is now finished. Go back to the main level. Enter the following command until the prompt looks like `nmcli>`:

|

|
| |
+ ----
|
| |
+ nmcli> set __setting__.__property__ _value_
|

+ ----
|
| |

+ [[manually-editing]]
|
| |
+ === Manually editing
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ To manually edit an `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 in the link:http://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/s1-networkscripts-interfaces.html[RHEL6 Deployment Guide].
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ 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_
|
| |
+ ----
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ [[delete-a-connection-configuration]]
|
| |
+ == Delete a connection configuration
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ Delete the connection:
|
| |
+ ----
|
| |
+ nmcli connection delete id <connection_name>
|
| |
+ ----
|
| |
+ Please note that this also deactivates the connection.
