----
== Create or modify a connection
To create a new connection using an interactive editor
----
$ nmcli connection edit con-name <name_of_new_connection>
----
To edit an already existing connection using an interactive editor:
----
$ nmcli connection edit <connection_name>
----
[[exampletutorial]]
=== Example/Tutorial
Create a new connection:
----
$ nmcli connection edit con-name _name of new connection_
----
It asks us to define a connection type:
----
Valid connection types: 802-3-ethernet (ethernet), 802-11-wireless (wifi), wimax, gsm, cdma, infiniband, adsl, bluetooth, vpn, 802-11-olpc-mesh (olpc-mesh), vlan, bond, team, bridge, bond-slave, team-slave, bridge-slave
Enter connection type:
----
In this example, we use ethernet:
----
Enter connection type: ethernet
----
The following message appears, note that `nmcli>` is a prompt and that it lists the main settings available:
----
===| nmcli interactive connection editor |===
Adding a new '802-3-ethernet' connection
Type 'help' or '?' for available commands.
Type 'describe [<setting>.<prop>]' for detailed property description.
You may edit the following settings: connection, 802-3-ethernet (ethernet), 802-1x, ipv4, ipv6
nmcli>
----
Edit the setting `ipv4`:
----
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:
----
nmcli ipv4> describe
Available properties: method, dns, dns-search, addresses, routes, ignore-auto-routes, ignore-auto-dns, dhcp-client-id, dhcp-send-hostname, dhcp-hostname, never-default, may-fail
Property name?
Property name? method
----
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 ipv4> back
----
To list the main settings again, use the `goto` command without any arguments. After that, press `Enter` and ignore the error.
----
nmcli> goto
Available settings: connection, 802-3-ethernet (ethernet), 802-1x, ipv4, ipv6
Setting name?
----
It is possible to set a value for a property directly from the main level:
----
nmcli> set __setting__.__property__ _value_
----
For example:
----
nmcli> set connection.autoconnect TRUE
nmcli> set connection.interface-name _interface name this connection is bound to_
nmcli> set ethernet.cloned-mac-address _Spoofed MAC address_
----
Finally, check the connection details, save and exit:
----
nmcli> print
nmcli> save
nmcli> quit
----
=== 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:https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/6/html/deployment_guide/s1-networkscripts-interfaces[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.
