Using Network Manager from the command line
Using Network Manager from the command line
In recent years Linux has been under major assault from a young generation of Apple using, form over function loving, change for the sake of change making kiddies that have attention spans too short to bother to learn how to properly use Linux, never mind how and why things were done the way they were done on Linux and UNIX.
This led to such ridiculous situations as many Linux distros switching to Network Manager for network configuration, even before it could fully perform all of the functions of the systems it replaced. Worst of all there was, for a looong time, no way to configure it from the command line. Making it useless for any serious applications requiring for example, headless operation, remote shell administration, scripted operation, etc. Finally this was rectified with the introduction of nmcli. Though nmcli eventually offered full command line configuration functionality, it seems to have been made intentionally obtuse in it's operation and syntax, as if to punish you for wanting to use the command line instead of a GUI.
For those of you that learned Linux in recent years, under the anti CLI mentality that's become so pervasive, you may by now be advanced enough to want or need to do things from the command line anyway. Here's an article to get you started on using nmcli. Good luck and keep learning the command line.
