nmcli-connection: Create a static IPv4-only connection.
$ nmcli connection add ifname ${interface_name} type ${ethernet} ip4 ${10-0-0-7-8} gw4 ${10-0-0-1} ipv4.dns ${10-0-0-1} ipv6.method ${ignore}
try on your machine
This command is used to add a new network connection using the nmcli
tool in Linux.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
connection add
: This part of the command specifies that we want to add a new network connection.ifname ${interface_name}
: Here,${interface_name}
is a placeholder for the name of the interface (e.g., eth0, ens33) through which you want to create the connection.type ${ethernet}
: The${ethernet}
placeholder represents the type of connection you want to create, in this case, an Ethernet connection.ip4 ${10-0-0-7-8}
: This defines the IPv4 address to be assigned to the connection.${10-0-0-7-8}
is a placeholder for the specific IP address you want to assign.gw4 ${10-0-0-1}
: This sets the IPv4 gateway address for the connection.${10-0-0-1}
is a placeholder for the specific gateway IP address.ipv4.dns ${10-0-0-1}
: This specifies the IPv4 DNS server to be used for the connection.${10-0-0-1}
is the placeholder for the specific DNS server IP address.ipv6.method ${ignore}
: This sets the method for handling IPv6 protocol.${ignore}
is the placeholder for the method you want to choose, in this case, "ignore" means the system will ignore the IPv6 protocol for this connection.
Note: The IP addresses mentioned in the command are placeholders, and you would need to replace them with actual IP addresses suitable for your network configuration.
