NetworkManager developersnm-settings-ifcfg-rh5NetworkManagerConfiguration1.38.0nm-settings-ifcfg-rhDescription of ifcfg-rh settings plugin NetworkManager is based on the concept of connection profiles that contain network configuration (see nm-settings5 for details). The profiles can be stored in various formats. NetworkManager uses plugins for reading and writing the data. The plugins can be configured in NetworkManager.conf5. The ifcfg-rh plugin is used on the Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux distributions to read/write configuration from/to the traditional /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* files. Each NetworkManager connection maps to one ifcfg-* file, with possible usage of keys-* for passwords, route-* for static IPv4 routes and route6-* for static IPv6 routes. The plugin currently supports reading and writing Ethernet, Wi-Fi, InfiniBand, VLAN, Bond, Bridge, and Team connections. Unsupported connection types (such as WWAN, PPPoE, VPN, or ADSL) are handled by keyfile plugin (nm-settings-keyfile5). The main reason for using ifcfg-rh plugin is the compatibility with legacy configurations for ifup and ifdown (initscripts). The ifcfg-rh config format is a simple text file containing VARIABLE="value" lines. The format is described in sysconfig.txt of initscripts package. Note that the configuration files may be sourced by initscripts, so they must be valid shell scripts. That means, for instance, that # character can be used for comments, strings with spaces must be quoted, special characters must be escaped, etc. Users can create or modify the ifcfg-rh connection files manually, even if that is not the recommended way of managing the profiles. However, if they choose to do that, they must inform NetworkManager about their changes (for example via nmcli con (re)load).

You can use uuidgen command line tool to generate such values. Alternatively, you can leave out UUID entirely. In that case NetworkManager will generate a UUID based on the file name. The main differences of NetworkManager ifcfg-rh plugin and traditional initscripts are: NM_CONTROLLED=yes|no NM_CONTROLLED is NetworkManager-specific variable used by NetworkManager for determining whether the device of the ifcfg file should be managed. NM_CONTROLLED=yes is supposed if the variable is not present in the file. Note that if you have more ifcfg files for a single device, NM_CONTROLLED=no in one of the files will cause the device not to be managed. The profile may not even be the active one. New variables NetworkManager has introduced some new variable, not present in initscripts, to be able to store data for its new features. The variables are marked as extensions in the tables below. Semantic change of variables and differences NetworkManager changes the semantics for a few variables and there are other behavioral differences. PEERDNS - initscripts interpret PEERDNS=no to mean "never touch resolv.conf". NetworkManager interprets it to say "never add automatic (DHCP, PPP, VPN, etc.) nameservers to resolv.conf".ONBOOT - initscripts use ONBOOT=yes to mark the devices that are to be activated during boot. NetworkManager extends this to also mean that this profile can be used for auto-connecting at any time.BOOTPROTO - NetworkManager supports traditional values none (static), dhcp. But it also allows additional values to enable new addressing methods. They are autoip for IPv4 link-local addressing using Avahi daemon and shared for connection sharing. When shared is used, NetworkManager assigns the interface 10.42.0.1, or it uses the first static address, if configured.HWADDR - initscripts compare the currently set hardware address of a device, while NetworkManager considers the permanent one.NOZEROCONF - initscripts add an on-link route to 169.254.0.0/16 for ethernet profiles that don't explicitly opt-out by setting NOZEROCONF variable. NetworkManager does not do that. Instead a static, manual route with scope=253 (link) should be added to get that behavior. See the next section for detailed mapping of NetworkManager properties and ifcfg-rh variables. Variable names, format and usage differences in NetworkManager and initscripts are documented in the tables below. ifcfg-rh plugin variables marked with (+) are NetworkManager specific extensions not understood by traditional initscripts.
