The nmtui command is used to manage network connections in a Text User Interface (TUI) environment. It provides a user-friendly interface to configure and control network settings. Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • nmtui: It is the actual command being executed.

Upon running this command, a TUI interface will be launched, allowing you to:

  1. Navigate through the different options using the arrow keys.
  2. Edit network connection settings such as IP address, DNS servers, and routing.
  3. Configure wired and wireless connections.
  4. Connect or disconnect from available networks.
  5. Set up a VPN connection.
  6. Enable or disable the network interface.

This command is commonly used in Linux distributions such as Fedora and CentOS, where it provides an easy-to-use alternative to command-line network configuration tools.
