NAMEnm-settings-dbus − Description of settings and properties of NetworkManager connection profiles on the D−Bus API

DESCRIPTIONNetworkManager is based on a concept of connection profiles, sometimes referred to as connections only​. These connection profiles contain a network configuration​. When NetworkManager activates a connection profile on a network device the configuration will be applied and an active network connection will be established​. Users are free to create as many connection profiles as they see fit​. Thus they are flexible in having various network configurations for different networking needs​. The connection profiles are handled by NetworkManager via settings service and are exported on D−Bus (/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Settings/<num> objects)​. The conceptual objects can be described as follows: Connection (profile) A specific, encapsulated, independent group of settings describing all the configuration required to connect to a specific network​. It is referred to by a unique identifier called the UUID​. A connection is tied to a one specific device type, but not necessarily a specific hardware device​. It is composed of one or more Settings objects​. Setting A group of related key/value pairs describing a specific piece of a Connection (profile)​. Settings keys and allowed values are described in the tables below​. Keys are also referred to as properties​. Developers can find the setting objects and their properties in the libnm−core sources​. Look for the *_class_init functions near the bottom of each setting source file​. The settings and properties shown in tables below list all available connection configuration options​. However, note that not all settings are applicable to all connection types​. NetworkManager provides a command−line tool nmcli that allows direct configuration of the settings and properties according to a connection profile type​. nmcli connection editor has also a built−in describe command that can display description of particular settings and properties of this page​.

connection settingGeneral Connection Profile Settings​. Key Name Value Type Default Value Value Description auth−retries int32 −1 The number of retries for the authentication​. Zero means to try indefinitely; −1 means to use a global default​. If the global default is not set, the authentication retries for 3 times before failing the connection​. Currently, this only applies to 802−1x authentication​. autoconnect boolean TRUE Whether or not the connection should be automatically connected by NetworkManager when the resources for the connection are available​. TRUE to automatically activate the connection, FALSE to require manual intervention to activate the connection​. Autoconnect happens when the circumstances are suitable​. That means for example that the device is currently managed and not active​. Autoconnect thus never replaces or competes with an already active profile​. Note that autoconnect is not implemented for VPN profiles​. See "secondaries" as an alternative to automatically connect VPN profiles​. If multiple profiles are ready to autoconnect on the same device, the one with the better "connection​.autoconnect−priority" is chosen​. If the priorities are equal, then the most recently connected profile is activated​. If the profiles were not connected earlier or their "connection​.timestamp" is identical, the choice is undefined​. Depending on "connection​.multi−connect", a profile can (auto)connect only once at a time or multiple times​. autoconnect−priority int32 0 The autoconnect priority in range −999 to 999​. If the connection is set to autoconnect, connections with higher priority will be preferred​. The higher number means higher priority​. Defaults to 0​. Note that this property only matters if there are more than one candidate profile to select for autoconnect​. In case of equal priority, the profile used most recently is chosen​. autoconnect−retries int32 −1 The number of times a connection should be tried when autoactivating before giving up​. Zero means forever, −1 means the global default (4 times if not overridden)​. Setting this to 1 means to try activation only once before blocking autoconnect​. Note that after a timeout, NetworkManager will try to autoconnect again​. autoconnect−slaves NMSettingConnectionAutoconnectSlaves (int32)  ​ Whether or not slaves of this connection should be automatically brought up when NetworkManager activates this connection​. This only has a real effect for master connections​. The properties "autoconnect", "autoconnect−priority" and "autoconnect−retries" are unrelated to this setting​. The permitted values are: 0: leave slave connections untouched, 1: activate all the slave connections with this connection, −1: default​. If −1 (default) is set, global connection​.autoconnect−slaves is read to determine the real value​. If it is default as well, this fallbacks to 0​. dns−over−tls int32 −1 Whether DNSOverTls (dns−over−tls) is enabled for the connection​. DNSOverTls is a technology which uses TLS to encrypt dns traffic​. The permitted values are: "yes" (2) use DNSOverTls and disabled fallback, "opportunistic" (1) use DNSOverTls but allow fallback to unencrypted resolution, "no" (0) don't ever use DNSOverTls​. If unspecified "default" depends on the plugin used​. Systemd−resolved uses global setting​. This feature requires a plugin which supports DNSOverTls​. Otherwise, the setting has no effect​. One such plugin is dns−systemd−resolved​. gateway−ping−timeout uint32 0 If greater than zero, delay success of IP addressing until either the timeout is reached, or an IP gateway replies to a ping​. id string  ​ A human readable unique identifier for the connection, like "Work Wi−Fi" or "T−Mobile 3G"​. interface−name string  ​ The name of the network interface this connection is bound to​. If not set, then the connection can be attached to any interface of the appropriate type (subject to restrictions imposed by other settings)​. For software devices this specifies the name of the created device​. For connection types where interface names cannot easily be made persistent (e​.g​. mobile broadband or USB Ethernet), this property should not be used​. Setting this property restricts the interfaces a connection can be used with, and if interface names change or are reordered the connection may be applied to the wrong interface​. lldp int32 −1 Whether LLDP is enabled for the connection​. llmnr int32 −1 Whether Link−Local Multicast Name Resolution (LLMNR) is enabled for the connection​. LLMNR is a protocol based on the Domain Name System (DNS) packet format that allows both IPv4 and IPv6 hosts to perform name resolution for hosts on the same local link​. The permitted values are: "yes" (2) register hostname and resolving for the connection, "no" (0) disable LLMNR for the interface, "resolve" (1) do not register hostname but allow resolving of LLMNR host names If unspecified, "default" ultimately depends on the DNS plugin (which for systemd−resolved currently means "yes")​. This feature requires a plugin which supports LLMNR​. Otherwise, the setting has no effect​. One such plugin is dns−systemd−resolved​. master string  ​ Interface name of the master device or UUID of the master connection​. mdns int32 −1 Whether mDNS is enabled for the connection​. The permitted values are: "yes" (2) register hostname and resolving for the connection, "no" (0) disable mDNS for the interface, "resolve" (1) do not register hostname but allow resolving of mDNS host names and "default" (−1) to allow lookup of a global default in NetworkManager​.conf​. If unspecified, "default" ultimately depends on the DNS plugin (which for systemd−resolved currently means "no")​. This feature requires a plugin which supports mDNS​. Otherwise, the setting has no effect​. One such plugin is dns−systemd−resolved​. metered NMMetered (int32)  ​ Whether the connection is metered​. When updating this property on a currently activated connection, the change takes effect immediately​. mptcp−flags uint32 0 Whether to configure MPTCP endpoints and the address flags​. If MPTCP is enabled in NetworkManager, it will configure the addresses of the interface as MPTCP endpoints​. Note that IPv4 loopback addresses (127​.0​.0​.0/8), IPv4 link local addresses (169​.254​.0​.0/16), the IPv6 loopback address (::1), IPv6 link local addresses (fe80::/10), IPv6 unique local addresses (ULA, fc00::/7) and IPv6 privacy extension addresses (rfc3041, ipv6​.ip6−privacy) will be excluded from being configured as endpoints​. If "disabled" (0x1), MPTCP handling for the interface is disabled and no endpoints are registered​. The "enabled" (0x2) flag means that MPTCP handling is enabled​. This flag can also be implied from the presence of other flags​. Even when enabled, MPTCP handling will by default still be disabled unless "/proc/sys/net/mptcp/enabled" sysctl is on​. NetworkManager does not change the sysctl and this is up to the administrator or distribution​. To configure endpoints even if the sysctl is disabled, "also−without−sysctl" (0x4) flag can be used​. In that case, NetworkManager doesn't look at the sysctl and configures endpoints regardless​. Even when enabled, NetworkManager will only configure MPTCP endpoints for a certain address family, if there is a unicast default route (0​.0​.0​.0/0 or ::/0) in the main routing table​. The flag "also−without−default−route" (0x8) can override that​. When MPTCP handling is enabled then endpoints are configured with the specified address flags "signal" (0x10), "subflow" (0x20), "backup" (0x40), "fullmesh" (0x80)​. See ip−mptcp(8) manual for additional information about the flags​. If the flags are zero (0x0), the global connection default from NetworkManager​.conf is honored​. If still unspecified, the fallback is "enabled,subflow"​. Note that this means that MPTCP is by default done depending on the "/proc/sys/net/mptcp/enabled" sysctl​. NetworkManager does not change the MPTCP limits nor enable MPTCP via "/proc/sys/net/mptcp/enabled"​. That is a host configuration which the admin can change via sysctl and ip−mptcp​. Strict reverse path filtering (rp_filter) breaks many MPTCP use cases, so when MPTCP handling for IPv4 addresses on the interface is enabled, NetworkManager would loosen the strict reverse path filtering (1) to the loose setting (2)​. mud−url string  ​ If configured, set to a Manufacturer Usage Description (MUD) URL that points to manufacturer−recommended network policies for IoT devices​. It is transmitted as a DHCPv4 or DHCPv6 option​. The value must be a valid URL starting with "https://"​. The special value "none" is allowed to indicate that no MUD URL is used​. If the per−profile value is unspecified (the default), a global connection default gets consulted​. If still unspecified, the ultimate default is "none"​. multi−connect int32 0 Specifies whether the profile can be active multiple times at a particular moment​. The value is of type NMConnectionMultiConnect​. permissions array of string  ​ An array of strings defining what access a given user has to this connection​. If this is NULL or empty, all users are allowed to access this connection; otherwise users are allowed if and only if they are in this list​. When this is not empty, the connection can be active only when one of the specified users is logged into an active session​. Each entry is of the form "[type]:[id]:[reserved]"; for example, "user:dcbw:blah"​. At this time only the "user" [type] is allowed​. Any other values are ignored and reserved for future use​. [id] is the username that this permission refers to, which may not contain the ":" character​. Any [reserved] information present must be ignored and is reserved for future use​. All of [type], [id], and [reserved] must be valid UTF−8​. read−only boolean FALSE FALSE if the connection can be modified using the provided settings service's D−Bus interface with the right privileges, or TRUE if the connection is read−only and cannot be modified​. secondaries array of string  ​ List of connection UUIDs that should be activated when the base connection itself is activated​. Currently, only VPN connections are supported​. slave−type string  ​ Setting name of the device type of this slave's master connection (eg, "bond"), or NULL if this connection is not a slave​. stable−id string  ​ This represents the identity of the connection used for various purposes​. It allows to configure multiple profiles to share the identity​. Also, the stable−id can contain placeholders that are substituted dynamically and deterministically depending on the context​. The stable−id is used for generating IPv6 stable private addresses with ipv6​.addr−gen−mode=stable−privacy​. It is also used to seed the generated cloned MAC address for ethernet​.cloned−mac−address=stable and wifi​.cloned−mac−address=stable​. It is also used as DHCP client identifier with ipv4​.dhcp−client−id=stable and to derive the DHCP DUID with ipv6​.dhcp−duid=stable−[llt,ll,uuid]​. Note that depending on the context where it is used, other parameters are also seeded into the generation algorithm​. For example, a per−host key is commonly also included, so that different systems end up generating different IDs​. Or with ipv6​.addr−gen−mode=stable−privacy, also the device's name is included, so that different interfaces yield different addresses​. The per−host key is the identity of your machine and stored in /var/lib/NetworkManager/secret_key​. See NetworkManager(8) manual about the secret−key and the host identity​. The '$' character is treated special to perform dynamic substitutions at runtime​. Currently, supported are "${CONNECTION}", "${DEVICE}", "${MAC}", "${BOOT}", "${RANDOM}"​. These effectively create unique IDs per−connection, per−device, per−boot, or every time​. Note that "${DEVICE}" corresponds to the interface name of the device and "${MAC}" is the permanent MAC address of the device​. Any unrecognized patterns following '$' are treated verbatim, however are reserved for future use​. You are thus advised to avoid '$' or escape it as "$$"​. For example, set it to "${CONNECTION}−${BOOT}−${DEVICE}" to create a unique id for this connection that changes with every reboot and differs depending on the interface where the profile activates​. If the value is unset, a global connection default is consulted​. If the value is still unset, the default is similar to "${CONNECTION}" and uses a unique, fixed ID for the connection​. timestamp uint64 0 The time, in seconds since the Unix Epoch, that the connection was last _successfully_ fully activated​. NetworkManager updates the connection timestamp periodically when the connection is active to ensure that an active connection has the latest timestamp​. The property is only meant for reading (changes to this property will not be preserved)​. type string  ​ Base type of the connection​. For hardware−dependent connections, should contain the setting name of the hardware−type specific setting (ie, "802−3−ethernet" or "802−11−wireless" or "bluetooth", etc), and for non−hardware dependent connections like VPN or otherwise, should contain the setting name of that setting type (ie, "vpn" or "bridge", etc)​. uuid string  ​ A universally unique identifier for the connection, for example generated with libuuid​. It should be assigned when the connection is created, and never changed as long as the connection still applies to the same network​. For example, it should not be changed when the "id" property or NMSettingIP4Config changes, but might need to be re−created when the Wi−Fi SSID, mobile broadband network provider, or "type" property changes​. The UUID must be in the format "2815492f−7e56−435e−b2e9−246bd7cdc664" (ie, contains only hexadecimal characters and "")​. wait−activation−delay int32 −1 Time in milliseconds to wait for connection to be considered activated​. The wait will start after the pre−up dispatcher event​. The value 0 means no wait time​. The default value is −1, which currently has the same meaning as no wait time​. wait−device−timeout int32 −1 Timeout in milliseconds to wait for device at startup​. During boot, devices may take a while to be detected by the driver​. This property will cause to delay NetworkManager−wait−online​.service and nm−online to give the device a chance to appear​. This works by waiting for the given timeout until a compatible device for the profile is available and managed​. The value 0 means no wait time​. The default value is −1, which currently has the same meaning as no wait time​. zone string  ​ The trust level of a the connection​. Free form case−insensitive string (for example "Home", "Work", "Public")​. NULL or unspecified zone means the connection will be placed in the default zone as defined by the firewall​. When updating this property on a currently activated connection, the change takes effect immediately​.

6lowpan setting6LoWPAN Settings​. Key Name Value Type Default Value Value Description parent string  ​ If given, specifies the parent interface name or parent connection UUID from which this 6LowPAN interface should be created​.

802−1x settingIEEE 802​.1x Authentication Settings​. Key Name Value Type Default Value Value Description altsubject−matches array of string  ​ List of strings to be matched against the altSubjectName of the certificate presented by the authentication server​. If the list is empty, no verification of the server certificate's altSubjectName is performed​. anonymous−identity string  ​ Anonymous identity string for EAP authentication methods​. Used as the unencrypted identity with EAP types that support different tunneled identity like EAP−TTLS​. auth−timeout int32 0 A timeout for the authentication​. Zero means the global default; if the global default is not set, the authentication timeout is 25 seconds​. ca−cert byte array  ​ Contains the CA certificate if used by the EAP method specified in the "eap" property​. Certificate data is specified using a "scheme"; three are currently supported: blob, path and pkcs#11 URL​. When using the blob scheme this property should be set to the certificate's DER encoded data​. When using the path scheme, this property should be set to the full UTF−8 encoded path of the certificate, prefixed with the string "file://" and ending with a terminating NUL byte​. This property can be unset even if the EAP method supports CA certificates, but this allows man−in−the−middle attacks and is NOT recommended​. Note that enabling NMSetting8021x:system−ca−certs will override this setting to use the built−in path, if the built−in path is not a directory​. ca−cert−password string  ​ The password used to access the CA certificate stored in "ca−cert" property​. Only makes sense if the certificate is stored on a PKCS#11 token that requires a login​. ca−cert−password−flags NMSettingSecretFlags (uint32)  ​ Flags indicating how to handle the "ca−cert−password" property​. ca−path string  ​ UTF−8 encoded path to a directory containing PEM or DER formatted certificates to be added to the verification chain in addition to the certificate specified in the "ca−cert" property​. If NMSetting8021x:system−ca−certs is enabled and the built−in CA path is an existing directory, then this setting is ignored​. client−cert byte array  ​ Contains the client certificate if used by the EAP method specified in the "eap" property​. Certificate data is specified using a "scheme"; two are currently supported: blob and path​. When using the blob scheme (which is backwards compatible with NM 0​.7​.x) this property should be set to the certificate's DER encoded data​. When using the path scheme, this property should be set to the full UTF−8 encoded path of the certificate, prefixed with the string "file://" and ending with a terminating NUL byte​. client−cert−password string  ​ The password used to access the client certificate stored in "client−cert" property​. Only makes sense if the certificate is stored on a PKCS#11 token that requires a login​. client−cert−password−flags NMSettingSecretFlags (uint32)  ​ Flags indicating how to handle the "client−cert−password" property​. domain−match string  ​ Constraint for server domain name​. If set, this list of FQDNs is used as a match requirement for dNSName element(s) of the certificate presented by the authentication server​. If a matching dNSName is found, this constraint is met​. If no dNSName values are present, this constraint is matched against SubjectName CN using the same comparison​. Multiple valid FQDNs can be passed as a ";" delimited list​. domain−suffix−match string  ​ Constraint for server domain name​. If set, this FQDN is used as a suffix match requirement for dNSName element(s) of the certificate presented by the authentication server​. If a matching dNSName is found, this constraint is met​. If no dNSName values are present, this constraint is matched against SubjectName CN using same suffix match comparison​. Since version 1​.24, multiple valid FQDNs can be passed as a ";" delimited list​. eap array of string  ​ The allowed EAP method to be used when authenticating to the network with 802​.1x​. Valid methods are: "leap", "md5", "tls", "peap", "ttls", "pwd", and "fast"​. Each method requires different configuration using the properties of this setting; refer to wpa_supplicant documentation for the allowed combinations​. identity string  ​ Identity string for EAP authentication methods​. Often the user's user or login name​. optional boolean FALSE Whether the 802​.1X authentication is optional​. If TRUE, the activation will continue even after a timeout or an authentication failure​. Setting the property to TRUE is currently allowed only for Ethernet connections​. If set to FALSE, the activation can continue only after a successful authentication​. pac−file string  ​ UTF−8 encoded file path containing PAC for EAP−FAST​. password string  ​ UTF−8 encoded password used for EAP authentication methods​. If both the "password" property and the "password−raw" property are specified, "password" is preferred​. password−flags NMSettingSecretFlags (uint32)  ​ Flags indicating how to handle the "password" property​. password−raw byte array  ​ Password used for EAP authentication methods, given as a byte array to allow passwords in other encodings than UTF−8 to be used​. If both the "password" property and the "password−raw" property are specified, "password" is preferred​. password−raw−flags NMSettingSecretFlags (uint32)  ​ Flags indicating how to handle the "password−raw" property​. phase1−auth−flags uint32 0 Specifies authentication flags to use in "phase 1" outer authentication using NMSetting8021xAuthFlags options​. The individual TLS versions can be explicitly disabled​. TLS time checks can be also disabled​. If a certain TLS disable flag is not set, it is up to the supplicant to allow or forbid it​. The TLS options map to tls_disable_tlsv1_x and tls_disable_time_checks settings​. See the wpa_supplicant documentation for more details​. phase1−fast−provisioning string  ​ Enables or disables in−line provisioning of EAP−FAST credentials when FAST is specified as the EAP method in the "eap" property​. Recognized values are "0" (disabled), "1" (allow unauthenticated provisioning), "2" (allow authenticated provisioning), and "3" (allow both authenticated and unauthenticated provisioning)​. See the wpa_supplicant documentation for more details​. phase1−peaplabel string  ​ Forces use of the new PEAP label during key derivation​. Some RADIUS servers may require forcing the new PEAP label to interoperate with PEAPv1​. Set to "1" to force use of the new PEAP label​. See the wpa_supplicant documentation for more details​. phase1−peapver string  ​ Forces which PEAP version is used when PEAP is set as the EAP method in the "eap" property​. When unset, the version reported by the server will be used​. Sometimes when using older RADIUS servers, it is necessary to force the client to use a particular PEAP version​. To do so, this property may be set to "0" or "1" to force that specific PEAP version​. phase2−altsubject−matches array of string  ​ List of strings to be matched against the altSubjectName of the certificate presented by the authentication server during the inner "phase 2" authentication​. If the list is empty, no verification of the server certificate's altSubjectName is performed​. phase2−auth string  ​ Specifies the allowed "phase 2" inner authentication method when an EAP method that uses an inner TLS tunnel is specified in the "eap" property​. For TTLS this property selects one of the supported non−EAP inner methods: "pap", "chap", "mschap", "mschapv2" while "phase2−autheap" selects an EAP inner method​. For PEAP this selects an inner EAP method, one of: "gtc", "otp", "md5" and "tls"​. Each "phase 2" inner method requires specific parameters for successful authentication; see the wpa_supplicant documentation for more details​. Both "phase2−auth" and "phase2−autheap" cannot be specified​. phase2−autheap string  ​ Specifies the allowed "phase 2" inner EAP−based authentication method when TTLS is specified in the "eap" property​. Recognized EAP−based "phase 2" methods are "md5", "mschapv2", "otp", "gtc", and "tls"​. Each "phase 2" inner method requires specific parameters for successful authentication; see the wpa_supplicant documentation for more details​. phase2−ca−cert byte array  ​ Contains the "phase 2" CA certificate if used by the EAP method specified in the "phase2−auth" or "phase2−autheap" properties​. Certificate data is specified using a "scheme"; three are currently supported: blob, path and pkcs#11 URL​. When using the blob scheme this property should be set to the certificate's DER encoded data​. When using the path scheme, this property should be set to the full UTF−8 encoded path of the certificate, prefixed with the string "file://" and ending with a terminating NUL byte​. This property can be unset even if the EAP method supports CA certificates, but this allows man−in−the−middle attacks and is NOT recommended​. Note that enabling NMSetting8021x:system−ca−certs will override this setting to use the built−in path, if the built−in path is not a directory​. phase2−ca−cert−password string  ​ The password used to access the "phase2" CA certificate stored in "phase2−ca−cert" property​. Only makes sense if the certificate is stored on a PKCS#11 token that requires a login​. phase2−ca−cert−password−flags NMSettingSecretFlags (uint32)  ​ Flags indicating how to handle the "phase2−ca−cert−password" property​. phase2−ca−path string  ​ UTF−8 encoded path to a directory containing PEM or DER formatted certificates to be added to the verification chain in addition to the certificate specified in the "phase2−ca−cert" property​. If NMSetting8021x:system−ca−certs is enabled and the built−in CA path is an existing directory, then this setting is ignored​. phase2−client−cert byte array  ​ Contains the "phase 2" client certificate if used by the EAP method specified in the "phase2−auth" or "phase2−autheap" properties​. Certificate data is specified using a "scheme"; two are currently supported: blob and path​. When using the blob scheme (which is backwards compatible with NM 0​.7​.x) this property should be set to the certificate's DER encoded data​. When using the path scheme, this property should be set to the full UTF−8 encoded path of the certificate, prefixed with the string "file://" and ending with a terminating NUL byte​. This property can be unset even if the EAP method supports CA certificates, but this allows man−in−the−middle attacks and is NOT recommended​. phase2−client−cert−password string  ​ The password used to access the "phase2" client certificate stored in "phase2−client−cert" property​. Only makes sense if the certificate is stored on a PKCS#11 token that requires a login​. phase2−client−cert−password−flags NMSettingSecretFlags (uint32)  ​ Flags indicating how to handle the "phase2−client−cert−password" property​. phase2−domain−match string  ​ Constraint for server domain name​. If set, this list of FQDNs is used as a match requirement for dNSName element(s) of the certificate presented by the authentication server during the inner "phase 2" authentication​. If a matching dNSName is found, this constraint is met​. If no dNSName values are present, this constraint is matched against SubjectName CN using the same comparison​. Multiple valid FQDNs can be passed as a ";" delimited list​. phase2−domain−suffix−match string  ​ Constraint for server domain name​. If set, this FQDN is used as a suffix match requirement for dNSName element(s) of the certificate presented by the authentication server during the inner "phase 2" authentication​. If a matching dNSName is found, this constraint is met​. If no dNSName values are present, this constraint is matched against SubjectName CN using same suffix match comparison​. Since version 1​.24, multiple valid FQDNs can be passed as a ";" delimited list​. phase2−private−key byte array  ​ Contains the "phase 2" inner private key when the "phase2−auth" or "phase2−autheap" property is set to "tls"​. Key data is specified using a "scheme"; two are currently supported: blob and path​. When using the blob scheme and private keys, this property should be set to the key's encrypted PEM encoded data​. When using private keys with the path scheme, this property should be set to the full UTF−8 encoded path of the key, prefixed with the string "file://" and ending with a terminating NUL byte​. When using PKCS#12 format private keys and the blob scheme, this property should be set to the PKCS#12 data and the "phase2−private−key−password" property must be set to password used to decrypt the PKCS#12 certificate and key​. When using PKCS#12 files and the path scheme, this property should be set to the full UTF−8 encoded path of the key, prefixed with the string "file://" and ending with a terminating NUL byte, and as with the blob scheme the "phase2−private−key−password" property must be set to the password used to decode the PKCS#12 private key and certificate​. phase2−private−key−password string  ​ The password used to decrypt the "phase 2" private key specified in the "phase2−private−key" property when the private key either uses the path scheme, or is a PKCS#12 format key​. phase2−private−key−password−flags NMSettingSecretFlags (uint32)  ​ Flags indicating how to handle the "phase2−private−key−password" property​. phase2−subject−match string  ​ Substring to be matched against the subject of the certificate presented by the authentication server during the inner "phase 2" authentication​. When unset, no verification of the authentication server certificate's subject is performed​. This property provides little security, if any, and should not be used​. This property is deprecated since version 1​.2​.Use "phase2−domain−suffix−match" instead​. pin string  ​ PIN used for EAP authentication methods​. pin−flags NMSettingSecretFlags (uint32)  ​ Flags indicating how to handle the "pin" property​. private−key byte array  ​ Contains the private key when the "eap" property is set to "tls"​. Key data is specified using a "scheme"; two are currently supported: blob and path​. When using the blob scheme and private keys, this property should be set to the key's encrypted PEM encoded data​. When using private keys with the path scheme, this property should be set to the full UTF−8 encoded path of the key, prefixed with the string "file://" and ending with a terminating NUL byte​. When using PKCS#12 format private keys and the blob scheme, this property should be set to the PKCS#12 data and the "private−key−password" property must be set to password used to decrypt the PKCS#12 certificate and key​. When using PKCS#12 files and the path scheme, this property should be set to the full UTF−8 encoded path of the key, prefixed with the string "file://" and ending with a terminating NUL byte, and as with the blob scheme the "private−key−password" property must be set to the password used to decode the PKCS#12 private key and certificate​. WARNING: "private−key" is not a "secret" property, and thus unencrypted private key data using the BLOB scheme may be readable by unprivileged users​. Private keys should always be encrypted with a private key password to prevent unauthorized access to unencrypted private key data​. private−key−password string  ​ The password used to decrypt the private key specified in the "private−key" property when the private key either uses the path scheme, or if the private key is a PKCS#12 format key​. private−key−password−flags NMSettingSecretFlags (uint32)  ​ Flags indicating how to handle the "private−key−password" property​. subject−match string  ​ Substring to be matched against the subject of the certificate presented by the authentication server​. When unset, no verification of the authentication server certificate's subject is performed​. This property provides little security, if any, and should not be used​. This property is deprecated since version 1​.2​.Use "phase2−domain−suffix−match" instead​. system−ca−certs boolean FALSE When TRUE, overrides the "ca−path" and "phase2−ca−path" properties using the system CA directory specified at configure time with the −−system−ca−path switch​. The certificates in this directory are added to the verification chain in addition to any certificates specified by the "ca−cert" and "phase2−ca−cert" properties​. If the path provided with −−system−ca−path is rather a file name (bundle of trusted CA certificates), it overrides "ca−cert" and "phase2−ca−cert" properties instead (sets ca_cert/ca_cert2 options for wpa_supplicant)​.

gsm settingGSM−based Mobile Broadband Settings​. Key Name Value Type Default Value Value Description apn string  ​ The GPRS Access Point Name specifying the APN used when establishing a data session with the GSM−based network​. The APN often determines how the user will be billed for their network usage and whether the user has access to the Internet or just a provider−specific walled−garden, so it is important to use the correct APN for the user's mobile broadband plan​. The APN may only be composed of the characters a−z, 0−9, ​., and − per GSM 03​.60 Section 14​.9​. auto−config boolean FALSE When TRUE, the settings such as APN, username, or password will default to values that match the network the modem will register to in the Mobile Broadband Provider database​. device−id string  ​ The device unique identifier (as given by the WWAN management service) which this connection applies to​. If given, the connection will only apply to the specified device​. home−only boolean FALSE When TRUE, only connections to the home network will be allowed​. Connections to roaming networks will not be made​. mtu uint32 0 If non−zero, only transmit packets of the specified size or smaller, breaking larger packets up into multiple frames​. network−id string  ​ The Network ID (GSM LAI format, ie MCC−MNC) to force specific network registration​. If the Network ID is specified, NetworkManager will attempt to force the device to register only on the specified network​. This can be used to ensure that the device does not roam when direct roaming control of the device is not otherwise possible​. number string  ​ Legacy setting that used to help establishing PPP data sessions for GSM−based modems​. This property is deprecated since version 1​.16​.User−provided values for this setting are no longer used​. password string  ​ The password used to authenticate with the network, if required​. Many providers do not require a password, or accept any password​. But if a password is required, it is specified here​. password−flags NMSettingSecretFlags (uint32)  ​ Flags indicating how to handle the "password" property​. pin string  ​ If the SIM is locked with a PIN it must be unlocked before any other operations are requested​. Specify the PIN here to allow operation of the device​. pin−flags NMSettingSecretFlags (uint32)  ​ Flags indicating how to handle the "pin" property​. sim−id string  ​ The SIM card unique identifier (as given by the WWAN management service) which this connection applies to​. If given, the connection will apply to any device also allowed by "device−id" which contains a SIM card matching the given identifier​. sim−operator−id string  ​ A MCC/MNC string like "310260" or "21601" identifying the specific mobile network operator which this connection applies to​. If given, the connection will apply to any device also allowed by "device−id" and "sim−id" which contains a SIM card provisioned by the given operator​. username string  ​ The username used to authenticate with the network, if required​. Many providers do not require a username, or accept any username​. But if a username is required, it is specified here​.

infiniband settingInfiniband Settings​. Key Name Value Type Default Value Value Description mac−address byte array  ​ If specified, this connection will only apply to the IPoIB device whose permanent MAC address matches​. This property does not change the MAC address of the device (i​.e​. MAC spoofing)​. mtu uint32 0 If non−zero, only transmit packets of the specified size or smaller, breaking larger packets up into multiple frames​. p−key int32 −1 The InfiniBand P_Key to use for this device​. A value of −1 means to use the default P_Key (aka "the P_Key at index 0")​. Otherwise, it is a 16−bit unsigned integer, whose high bit is set if it is a "full membership" P_Key​. parent string  ​ The interface name of the parent device of this device​. Normally NULL, but if the "p_key" property is set, then you must specify the base device by setting either this property or "mac−address"​. transport−mode string  ​ The IP−over−InfiniBand transport mode​. Either "datagram" or "connected"​.

ipv4 settingIPv4 Settings​. Key Name Value Type Default Value Value Description address−data array of vardict  ​ Array of IPv4 addresses​. Each address dictionary contains at least 'address' and 'prefix' entries, containing the IP address as a string, and the prefix length as a uint32​. Additional attributes may also exist on some addresses​. addresses array of array of uint32  ​ Deprecated in favor of the 'address−data' and 'gateway' properties, but this can be used for backward−compatibility with older daemons​. Note that if you send this property the daemon will ignore 'address−data' and 'gateway'​. Array of IPv4 address structures​. Each IPv4 address structure is composed of 3 32−bit values; the first being the IPv4 address (network byte order), the second the prefix (1 − 32), and last the IPv4 gateway (network byte order)​. The gateway may be left as 0 if no gateway exists for that subnet​. auto−route−ext−gw NMTernary (int32)  ​ VPN connections will default to add the route automatically unless this setting is set to FALSE​. For other connection types, adding such an automatic route is currently not supported and setting this to TRUE has no effect​. dad−timeout int32 −1 Timeout in milliseconds used to check for the presence of duplicate IP addresses on the network​. If an address conflict is detected, the activation will fail​. A zero value means that no duplicate address detection is performed, −1 means the default value (either configuration ipvx​.dad−timeout override or zero)​. A value greater than zero is a timeout in milliseconds​. The property is currently implemented only for IPv4​. dhcp−client−id string  ​ A string sent to the DHCP server to identify the local machine which the DHCP server may use to customize the DHCP lease and options​. When the property is a hex string ('aa:bb:cc') it is interpreted as a binary client ID, in which case the first byte is assumed to be the 'type' field as per RFC 2132 section 9​.14 and the remaining bytes may be an hardware address (e​.g​. '01:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx' where 1 is the Ethernet ARP type and the rest is a MAC address)​. If the property is not a hex string it is considered as a non−hardware−address client ID and the 'type' field is set to 0​. The special values "mac" and "perm−mac" are supported, which use the current or permanent MAC address of the device to generate a client identifier with type ethernet (01)​. Currently, these options only work for ethernet type of links​. The special value "ipv6−duid" uses the DUID from "ipv6​.dhcp−duid" property as an RFC4361−compliant client identifier​. As IAID it uses "ipv4​.dhcp−iaid" and falls back to "ipv6​.dhcp−iaid" if unset​. The special value "duid" generates a RFC4361−compliant client identifier based on "ipv4​.dhcp−iaid" and uses a DUID generated by hashing /etc/machine−id​. The special value "stable" is supported to generate a type 0 client identifier based on the stable−id (see connection​.stable−id) and a per−host key​. If you set the stable−id, you may want to include the "${DEVICE}" or "${MAC}" specifier to get a per−device key​. If unset, a globally configured default is used​. If still unset, the default depends on the DHCP plugin​. dhcp−fqdn string  ​ If the "dhcp−send−hostname" property is TRUE, then the specified FQDN will be sent to the DHCP server when acquiring a lease​. This property and "dhcp−hostname" are mutually exclusive and cannot be set at the same time​. dhcp−hostname string  ​ If the "dhcp−send−hostname" property is TRUE, then the specified name will be sent to the DHCP server when acquiring a lease​. This property and "dhcp−fqdn" are mutually exclusive and cannot be set at the same time​. dhcp−hostname−flags uint32 0 Flags for the DHCP hostname and FQDN​. Currently, this property only includes flags to control the FQDN flags set in the DHCP FQDN option​. Supported FQDN flags are NM_DHCP_HOSTNAME_FLAG_FQDN_SERV_UPDATE (0x1), NM_DHCP_HOSTNAME_FLAG_FQDN_ENCODED (0x2) and NM_DHCP_HOSTNAME_FLAG_FQDN_NO_UPDATE (0x4)​. When no FQDN flag is set and NM_DHCP_HOSTNAME_FLAG_FQDN_CLEAR_FLAGS (0x8) is set, the DHCP FQDN option will contain no flag​. Otherwise, if no FQDN flag is set and NM_DHCP_HOSTNAME_FLAG_FQDN_CLEAR_FLAGS (0x8) is not set, the standard FQDN flags are set in the request: NM_DHCP_HOSTNAME_FLAG_FQDN_SERV_UPDATE (0x1), NM_DHCP_HOSTNAME_FLAG_FQDN_ENCODED (0x2) for IPv4 and NM_DHCP_HOSTNAME_FLAG_FQDN_SERV_UPDATE (0x1) for IPv6​. When this property is set to the default value NM_DHCP_HOSTNAME_FLAG_NONE (0x0), a global default is looked up in NetworkManager configuration​. If that value is unset or also NM_DHCP_HOSTNAME_FLAG_NONE (0x0), then the standard FQDN flags described above are sent in the DHCP requests​. dhcp−iaid string  ​ A string containing the "Identity Association Identifier" (IAID) used by the DHCP client​. The property is a 32−bit decimal value or a special value among "mac", "perm−mac", "ifname" and "stable"​. When set to "mac" (or "perm−mac"), the last 4 bytes of the current (or permanent) MAC address are used as IAID​. When set to "ifname", the IAID is computed by hashing the interface name​. The special value "stable" can be used to generate an IAID based on the stable−id (see connection​.stable−id), a per−host key and the interface name​. When the property is unset, the value from global configuration is used; if no global default is set then the IAID is assumed to be "ifname"​. Note that at the moment this property is ignored for IPv6 by dhclient, which always derives the IAID from the MAC address​. dhcp−reject−servers array of string  ​ Array of servers from which DHCP offers must be rejected​. This property is useful to avoid getting a lease from misconfigured or rogue servers​. For DHCPv4, each element must be an IPv4 address, optionally followed by a slash and a prefix length (e​.g​. "192​.168​.122​.0/24")​. This property is currently not implemented for DHCPv6​. dhcp−send−hostname boolean TRUE If TRUE, a hostname is sent to the DHCP server when acquiring a lease​. Some DHCP servers use this hostname to update DNS databases, essentially providing a static hostname for the computer​. If the "dhcp−hostname" property is NULL and this property is TRUE, the current persistent hostname of the computer is sent​. dhcp−timeout int32 0 A timeout for a DHCP transaction in seconds​. If zero (the default), a globally configured default is used​. If still unspecified, a device specific timeout is used (usually 45 seconds)​. Set to 2147483647 (MAXINT32) for infinity​. dhcp−vendor−class−identifier string  ​ The Vendor Class Identifier DHCP option (60)​. Special characters in the data string may be escaped using C−style escapes, nevertheless this property cannot contain nul bytes​. If the per−profile value is unspecified (the default), a global connection default gets consulted​. If still unspecified, the DHCP option is not sent to the server​. dns array of uint32  ​ Array of IP addresses of DNS servers (as network−byte−order integers) dns−data array of strings  ​ Array of DNS name servers​. This replaces the deprecated "dns" property​. Each name server can also contain a DoT server name​. dns−options array of string  ​ Array of DNS options as described in man 5 resolv​.conf​. NULL means that the options are unset and left at the default​. In this case NetworkManager will use default options​. This is distinct from an empty list of properties​. The currently supported options are "attempts", "debug", "edns0", "inet6", "ip6−bytestring", "ip6−dotint", "ndots", "no−check−names", "no−ip6−dotint", "no−reload", "no−tld−query", "rotate", "single−request", "single−request−reopen", "timeout", "trust−ad", "use−vc"​. The "trust−ad" setting is only honored if the profile contributes name servers to resolv​.conf, and if all contributing profiles have "trust−ad" enabled​. When using a caching DNS plugin (dnsmasq or systemd−resolved in NetworkManager​.conf) then "edns0" and "trust−ad" are automatically added​. dns−priority int32 0 DNS servers priority​. The relative priority for DNS servers specified by this setting​. A lower numerical value is better (higher priority)​. Negative values have the special effect of excluding other configurations with a greater numerical priority value; so in presence of at least one negative priority, only DNS servers from connections with the lowest priority value will be used​. To avoid all DNS leaks, set the priority of the profile that should be used to the most negative value of all active connections profiles​. Zero selects a globally configured default value​. If the latter is missing or zero too, it defaults to 50 for VPNs (including WireGuard) and 100 for other connections​. Note that the priority is to order DNS settings for multiple active connections​. It does not disambiguate multiple DNS servers within the same connection profile​. When multiple devices have configurations with the same priority, VPNs will be considered first, then devices with the best (lowest metric) default route and then all other devices​. When using dns=default, servers with higher priority will be on top of resolv​.conf​. To prioritize a given server over another one within the same connection, just specify them in the desired order​. Note that commonly the resolver tries name servers in /etc/resolv​.conf in the order listed, proceeding with the next server in the list on failure​. See for example the "rotate" option of the dns−options setting​. If there are any negative DNS priorities, then only name servers from the devices with that lowest priority will be considered​. When using a DNS resolver that supports Conditional Forwarding or Split DNS (with dns=dnsmasq or dns=systemd−resolved settings), each connection is used to query domains in its search list​. The search domains determine which name servers to ask, and the DNS priority is used to prioritize name servers based on the domain​. Queries for domains not present in any search list are routed through connections having the '~​.' special wildcard domain, which is added automatically to connections with the default route (or can be added manually)​. When multiple connections specify the same domain, the one with the best priority (lowest numerical value) wins​. If a sub domain is configured on another interface it will be accepted regardless the priority, unless parent domain on the other interface has a negative priority, which causes the sub domain to be shadowed​. With Split DNS one can avoid undesired DNS leaks by properly configuring DNS priorities and the search domains, so that only name servers of the desired interface are configured​. dns−search array of string  ​ List of DNS search domains​. Domains starting with a tilde ('~') are considered 'routing' domains and are used only to decide the interface over which a query must be forwarded; they are not used to complete unqualified host names​. When using a DNS plugin that supports Conditional Forwarding or Split DNS, then the search domains specify which name servers to query​. This makes the behavior different from running with plain /etc/resolv​.conf​. For more information see also the dns−priority setting​. When set on a profile that also enabled DHCP, the DNS search list received automatically (option 119 for DHCPv4 and option 24 for DHCPv6) gets merged with the manual list​. This can be prevented by setting "ignore−auto−dns"​. Note that if no DNS searches are configured, the fallback will be derived from the domain from DHCP (option 15)​. gateway string  ​ The gateway associated with this configuration​. This is only meaningful if "addresses" is also set​. Setting the gateway causes NetworkManager to configure a standard default route with the gateway as next hop​. This is ignored if "never−default" is set​. An alternative is to configure the default route explicitly with a manual route and /0 as prefix length​. Note that the gateway usually conflicts with routing that NetworkManager configures for WireGuard interfaces, so usually it should not be set in that case​. See "ip4−auto−default−route"​. ignore−auto−dns boolean FALSE When "method" is set to "auto" and this property to TRUE, automatically configured name servers and search domains are ignored and only name servers and search domains specified in the "dns" and "dns−search" properties, if any, are used​. ignore−auto−routes boolean FALSE When "method" is set to "auto" and this property to TRUE, automatically configured routes are ignored and only routes specified in the "routes" property, if any, are used​. link−local int32 0 Enable and disable the IPv4 link−local configuration independently of the ipv4​.method configuration​. This allows a link−local address (169​.254​.x​.y/16) to be obtained in addition to other addresses, such as those manually configured or obtained from a DHCP server​. When set to "auto", the value is dependent on "ipv4​.method"​. When set to "default", it honors the global connection default, before falling back to "auto"​. Note that if "ipv4​.method" is "disabled", then link local addressing is always disabled too​. The default is "default"​. may−fail boolean TRUE If TRUE, allow overall network configuration to proceed even if the configuration specified by this property times out​. Note that at least one IP configuration must succeed or overall network configuration will still fail​. For example, in IPv6−only networks, setting this property to TRUE on the NMSettingIP4Config allows the overall network configuration to succeed if IPv4 configuration fails but IPv6 configuration completes successfully​. method string  ​ IP configuration method​. NMSettingIP4Config and NMSettingIP6Config both support "disabled", "auto", "manual", and "link−local"​. See the subclass−specific documentation for other values​. In general, for the "auto" method, properties such as "dns" and "routes" specify information that is added on to the information returned from automatic configuration​. The "ignore−auto−routes" and "ignore−auto−dns" properties modify this behavior​. For methods that imply no upstream network, such as "shared" or "link−local", these properties must be empty​. For IPv4 method "shared", the IP subnet can be configured by adding one manual IPv4 address or otherwise 10​.42​.x​.0/24 is chosen​. Note that the shared method must be configured on the interface which shares the internet to a subnet, not on the uplink which is shared​. never−default boolean FALSE If TRUE, this connection will never be the default connection for this IP type, meaning it will never be assigned the default route by NetworkManager​. required−timeout int32 −1 The minimum time interval in milliseconds for which dynamic IP configuration should be tried before the connection succeeds​. This property is useful for example if both IPv4 and IPv6 are enabled and are allowed to fail​. Normally the connection succeeds as soon as one of the two address families completes; by setting a required timeout for e​.g​. IPv4, one can ensure that even if IP6 succeeds earlier than IPv4, NetworkManager waits some time for IPv4 before the connection becomes active​. Note that if "may−fail" is FALSE for the same address family, this property has no effect as NetworkManager needs to wait for the full DHCP timeout​. A zero value means that no required timeout is present, −1 means the default value (either configuration ipvx​.required−timeout override or zero)​. route−data array of vardict  ​ Array of IPv4 routes​. Each route dictionary contains at least 'dest' and 'prefix' entries, containing the destination IP address as a string, and the prefix length as a uint32​. Most routes will also have a 'next−hop' entry, containing the next hop IP address as a string​. If the route has a 'metric' entry (containing a uint32), that will be used as the metric for the route (otherwise NM will pick a default value appropriate to the device)​. Additional attributes may also exist on some routes​. route−metric int64 −1 The default metric for routes that don't explicitly specify a metric​. The default value −1 means that the metric is chosen automatically based on the device type​. The metric applies to dynamic routes, manual (static) routes that don't have an explicit metric setting, address prefix routes, and the default route​. Note that for IPv6, the kernel accepts zero (0) but coerces it to 1024 (user default)​. Hence, setting this property to zero effectively mean setting it to 1024​. For IPv4, zero is a regular value for the metric​. route−table uint32 0 Enable policy routing (source routing) and set the routing table used when adding routes​. This affects all routes, including device−routes, IPv4LL, DHCP, SLAAC, default−routes and static routes​. But note that static routes can individually overwrite the setting by explicitly specifying a non−zero routing table​. If the table setting is left at zero, it is eligible to be overwritten via global configuration​. If the property is zero even after applying the global configuration value, policy routing is disabled for the address family of this connection​. Policy routing disabled means that NetworkManager will add all routes to the main table (except static routes that explicitly configure a different table)​. Additionally, NetworkManager will not delete any extraneous routes from tables except the main table​. This is to preserve backward compatibility for users who manage routing tables outside of NetworkManager​. routes array of array of uint32  ​ Deprecated in favor of the 'route−data' property, but this can be used for backward−compatibility with older daemons​. Note that if you send this property the daemon will ignore 'route−data'​. Array of IPv4 route structures​. Each IPv4 route structure is composed of 4 32−bit values; the first being the destination IPv4 network or address (network byte order), the second the destination network or address prefix (1 − 32), the third being the next−hop (network byte order) if any, and the fourth being the route metric​. If the metric is 0, NM will choose an appropriate default metric for the device​. (There is no way to explicitly specify an actual metric of 0 with this property​.) routing−rules array of 'a{sv}'  ​ Array of dictionaries for routing rules​. Each routing rule supports the following options: action (y), dport−end (q), dport−start (q), family (i), from (s), from−len (y), fwmark (u), fwmask (u), iifname (s), invert (b), ipproto (s), oifname (s), priority (u), sport−end (q), sport−start (q), supress−prefixlength (i), table (u), to (s), tos (y), to−len (y), range−end (u), range−start (u)​.

ipv6 settingIPv6 Settings​. Key Name Value Type Default Value Value Description addr−gen−mode int32 3 Configure method for creating the address for use with RFC4862 IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration​. The permitted values are: NM_SETTING_IP6_CONFIG_ADDR_GEN_MODE_EUI64 (0), NM_SETTING_IP6_CONFIG_ADDR_GEN_MODE_STABLE_PRIVACY (1)​. NM_SETTING_IP6_CONFIG_ADDR_GEN_MODE_DEFAULT_OR_EUI64 (2) or NM_SETTING_IP6_CONFIG_ADDR_GEN_MODE_DEFAULT (3)​. If the property is set to EUI64, the addresses will be generated using the interface tokens derived from hardware address​. This makes the host part of the address to stay constant, making it possible to track host's presence when it changes networks​. The address changes when the interface hardware is replaced​. The value of stable−privacy enables use of cryptographically secure hash of a secret host−specific key along with the connection's stable−id and the network address as specified by RFC7217​. This makes it impossible to use the address track host's presence, and makes the address stable when the network interface hardware is replaced​. The special values "default" and "default−or−eui64" will fallback to the global connection default in as documented in NetworkManager​.conf(5) manual​. If the global default is not specified, the fallback value is "stable−privacy" or "eui64", respectively​. For libnm, the property defaults to "default" since 1​.40​. Previously it defaulted to "stable−privacy"​. On D−Bus, the absence of an addr−gen−mode setting equals "default"​. For keyfile plugin, the absence of the setting on disk means "default−or−eui64" so that the property doesn't change on upgrade from older versions​. Note that this setting is distinct from the Privacy Extensions as configured by "ip6−privacy" property and it does not affect the temporary addresses configured with this option​. address−data array of vardict  ​ Array of IPv6 addresses​. Each address dictionary contains at least 'address' and 'prefix' entries, containing the IP address as a string, and the prefix length as a uint32​. Additional attributes may also exist on some addresses​. addresses array of legacy IPv6 address struct (a(ayuay))  ​ Deprecated in favor of the 'address−data' and 'gateway' properties, but this can be used for backward−compatibility with older daemons​. Note that if you send this property the daemon will ignore 'address−data' and 'gateway'​. Array of IPv6 address structures​. Each IPv6 address structure is composed of an IPv6 address, a prefix length (0 − 128), and an IPv6 gateway address​. The gateway may be zeroed out if no gateway exists for that subnet​. auto−route−ext−gw NMTernary (int32)  ​ VPN connections will default to add the route automatically unless this setting is set to FALSE​. For other connection types, adding such an automatic route is currently not supported and setting this to TRUE has no effect​. dad−timeout int32 −1 Timeout in milliseconds used to check for the presence of duplicate IP addresses on the network​. If an address conflict is detected, the activation will fail​. A zero value means that no duplicate address detection is performed, −1 means the default value (either configuration ipvx​.dad−timeout override or zero)​. A value greater than zero is a timeout in milliseconds​. The property is currently implemented only for IPv4​. dhcp−duid string  ​ A string containing the DHCPv6 Unique Identifier (DUID) used by the dhcp client to identify itself to DHCPv6 servers (RFC 3315)​. The DUID is carried in the Client Identifier option​. If the property is a hex string ('aa:bb:cc') it is interpreted as a binary DUID and filled as an opaque value in the Client Identifier option​. The special value "lease" will retrieve the DUID previously used from the lease file belonging to the connection​. If no DUID is found and "dhclient" is the configured dhcp client, the DUID is searched in the system−wide dhclient lease file​. If still no DUID is found, or another dhcp client is used, a global and permanent DUID−UUID (RFC 6355) will be generated based on the machine−id​. The special values "llt" and "ll" will generate a DUID of type LLT or LL (see RFC 3315) based on the current MAC address of the device​. In order to try providing a stable DUID−LLT, the time field will contain a constant timestamp that is used globally (for all profiles) and persisted to disk​. The special values "stable−llt", "stable−ll" and "stable−uuid" will generate a DUID of the corresponding type, derived from the connection's stable−id and a per−host unique key​. You may want to include the "${DEVICE}" or "${MAC}" specifier in the stable−id, in case this profile gets activated on multiple devices​. So, the link−layer address of "stable−ll" and "stable−llt" will be a generated address derived from the stable id​. The DUID−LLT time value in the "stable−llt" option will be picked among a static timespan of three years (the upper bound of the interval is the same constant timestamp used in "llt")​. When the property is unset, the global value provided for "ipv6​.dhcp−duid" is used​. If no global value is provided, the default "lease" value is assumed​. dhcp−hostname string  ​ If the "dhcp−send−hostname" property is TRUE, then the specified name will be sent to the DHCP server when acquiring a lease​. This property and "dhcp−fqdn" are mutually exclusive and cannot be set at the same time​. dhcp−hostname−flags uint32 0 Flags for the DHCP hostname and FQDN​. Currently, this property only includes flags to control the FQDN flags set in the DHCP FQDN option​. Supported FQDN flags are NM_DHCP_HOSTNAME_FLAG_FQDN_SERV_UPDATE (0x1), NM_DHCP_HOSTNAME_FLAG_FQDN_ENCODED (0x2) and NM_DHCP_HOSTNAME_FLAG_FQDN_NO_UPDATE (0x4)​. When no FQDN flag is set and NM_DHCP_HOSTNAME_FLAG_FQDN_CLEAR_FLAGS (0x8) is set, the DHCP FQDN option will contain no flag​. Otherwise, if no FQDN flag is set and NM_DHCP_HOSTNAME_FLAG_FQDN_CLEAR_FLAGS (0x8) is not set, the standard FQDN flags are set in the request: NM_DHCP_HOSTNAME_FLAG_FQDN_SERV_UPDATE (0x1), NM_DHCP_HOSTNAME_FLAG_FQDN_ENCODED (0x2) for IPv4 and NM_DHCP_HOSTNAME_FLAG_FQDN_SERV_UPDATE (0x1) for IPv6​. When this property is set to the default value NM_DHCP_HOSTNAME_FLAG_NONE (0x0), a global default is looked up in NetworkManager configuration​. If that value is unset or also NM_DHCP_HOSTNAME_FLAG_NONE (0x0), then the standard FQDN flags described above are sent in the DHCP requests​. dhcp−iaid string  ​ A string containing the "Identity Association Identifier" (IAID) used by the DHCP client​. The property is a 32−bit decimal value or a special value among "mac", "perm−mac", "ifname" and "stable"​. When set to "mac" (or "perm−mac"), the last 4 bytes of the current (or permanent) MAC address are used as IAID​. When set to "ifname", the IAID is computed by hashing the interface name​. The special value "stable" can be used to generate an IAID based on the stable−id (see connection​.stable−id), a per−host key and the interface name​. When the property is unset, the value from global configuration is used; if no global default is set then the IAID is assumed to be "ifname"​. Note that at the moment this property is ignored for IPv6 by dhclient, which always derives the IAID from the MAC address​. dhcp−reject−servers array of string  ​ Array of servers from which DHCP offers must be rejected​. This property is useful to avoid getting a lease from misconfigured or rogue servers​. For DHCPv4, each element must be an IPv4 address, optionally followed by a slash and a prefix length (e​.g​. "192​.168​.122​.0/24")​. This property is currently not implemented for DHCPv6​. dhcp−send−hostname boolean TRUE If TRUE, a hostname is sent to the DHCP server when acquiring a lease​. Some DHCP servers use this hostname to update DNS databases, essentially providing a static hostname for the computer​. If the "dhcp−hostname" property is NULL and this property is TRUE, the current persistent hostname of the computer is sent​. dhcp−timeout int32 0 A timeout for a DHCP transaction in seconds​. If zero (the default), a globally configured default is used​. If still unspecified, a device specific timeout is used (usually 45 seconds)​. Set to 2147483647 (MAXINT32) for infinity​. dns array of byte array  ​ Array of IP addresses of DNS servers (in network byte order) dns−data array of strings  ​ Array of DNS name servers​. This replaces the deprecated "dns" property​. Each name server can also contain a DoT server name​. dns−options array of string  ​ Array of DNS options as described in man 5 resolv​.conf​. NULL means that the options are unset and left at the default​. In this case NetworkManager will use default options​. This is distinct from an empty list of properties​. The currently supported options are "attempts", "debug", "edns0", "inet6", "ip6−bytestring", "ip6−dotint", "ndots", "no−check−names", "no−ip6−dotint", "no−reload", "no−tld−query", "rotate", "single−request", "single−request−reopen", "timeout", "trust−ad", "use−vc"​. The "trust−ad" setting is only honored if the profile contributes name servers to resolv​.conf, and if all contributing profiles have "trust−ad" enabled​. When using a caching DNS plugin (dnsmasq or systemd−resolved in NetworkManager​.conf) then "edns0" and "trust−ad" are automatically added​. dns−priority int32 0 DNS servers priority​. The relative priority for DNS servers specified by this setting​. A lower numerical value is better (higher priority)​. Negative values have the special effect of excluding other configurations with a greater numerical priority value; so in presence of at least one negative priority, only DNS servers from connections with the lowest priority value will be used​. To avoid all DNS leaks, set the priority of the profile that should be used to the most negative value of all active connections profiles​. Zero selects a globally configured default value​. If the latter is missing or zero too, it defaults to 50 for VPNs (including WireGuard) and 100 for other connections​. Note that the priority is to order DNS settings for multiple active connections​. It does not disambiguate multiple DNS servers within the same connection profile​. When multiple devices have configurations with the same priority, VPNs will be considered first, then devices with the best (lowest metric) default route and then all other devices​. When using dns=default, servers with higher priority will be on top of resolv​.conf​. To prioritize a given server over another one within the same connection, just specify them in the desired order​. Note that commonly the resolver tries name servers in /etc/resolv​.conf in the order listed, proceeding with the next server in the list on failure​. See for example the "rotate" option of the dns−options setting​. If there are any negative DNS priorities, then only name servers from the devices with that lowest priority will be considered​. When using a DNS resolver that supports Conditional Forwarding or Split DNS (with dns=dnsmasq or dns=systemd−resolved settings), each connection is used to query domains in its search list​. The search domains determine which name servers to ask, and the DNS priority is used to prioritize name servers based on the domain​. Queries for domains not present in any search list are routed through connections having the '~​.' special wildcard domain, which is added automatically to connections with the default route (or can be added manually)​. When multiple connections specify the same domain, the one with the best priority (lowest numerical value) wins​. If a sub domain is configured on another interface it will be accepted regardless the priority, unless parent domain on the other interface has a negative priority, which causes the sub domain to be shadowed​. With Split DNS one can avoid undesired DNS leaks by properly configuring DNS priorities and the search domains, so that only name servers of the desired interface are configured​. dns−search array of string  ​ List of DNS search domains​. Domains starting with a tilde ('~') are considered 'routing' domains and are used only to decide the interface over which a query must be forwarded; they are not used to complete unqualified host names​. When using a DNS plugin that supports Conditional Forwarding or Split DNS, then the search domains specify which name servers to query​. This makes the behavior different from running with plain /etc/resolv​.conf​. For more information see also the dns−priority setting​. When set on a profile that also enabled DHCP, the DNS search list received automatically (option 119 for DHCPv4 and option 24 for DHCPv6) gets merged with the manual list​. This can be prevented by setting "ignore−auto−dns"​. Note that if no DNS searches are configured, the fallback will be derived from the domain from DHCP (option 15)​. gateway string  ​ The gateway associated with this configuration​. This is only meaningful if "addresses" is also set​. Setting the gateway causes NetworkManager to configure a standard default route with the gateway as next hop​. This is ignored if "never−default" is set​. An alternative is to configure the default route explicitly with a manual route and /0 as prefix length​. Note that the gateway usually conflicts with routing that NetworkManager configures for WireGuard interfaces, so usually it should not be set in that case​. See "ip4−auto−default−route"​. ignore−auto−dns boolean FALSE When "method" is set to "auto" and this property to TRUE, automatically configured name servers and search domains are ignored and only name servers and search domains specified in the "dns" and "dns−search" properties, if any, are used​. ignore−auto−routes boolean FALSE When "method" is set to "auto" and this property to TRUE, automatically configured routes are ignored and only routes specified in the "routes" property, if any, are used​. ip6−privacy NMSettingIP6ConfigPrivacy (int32)  ​ Configure IPv6 Privacy Extensions for SLAAC, described in RFC4941​. If enabled, it makes the kernel generate a temporary IPv6 address in addition to the public one generated from MAC address via modified EUI−64​. This enhances privacy, but could cause problems in some applications, on the other hand​. The permitted values are: −1: unknown, 0: disabled, 1: enabled (prefer public address), 2: enabled (prefer temporary addresses)​. Having a per−connection setting set to "−1" (unknown) means fallback to global configuration "ipv6​.ip6−privacy"​. If also global configuration is unspecified or set to "−1", fallback to read "/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/default/use_tempaddr"​. Note that this setting is distinct from the Stable Privacy addresses that can be enabled with the "addr−gen−mode" property's "stable−privacy" setting as another way of avoiding host tracking with IPv6 addresses​. may−fail boolean TRUE If TRUE, allow overall network configuration to proceed even if the configuration specified by this property times out​. Note that at least one IP configuration must succeed or overall network configuration will still fail​. For example, in IPv6−only networks, setting this property to TRUE on the NMSettingIP4Config allows the overall network configuration to succeed if IPv4 configuration fails but IPv6 configuration completes successfully​. method string  ​ IP configuration method​. NMSettingIP4Config and NMSettingIP6Config both support "disabled", "auto", "manual", and "link−local"​. See the subclass−specific documentation for other values​. In general, for the "auto" method, properties such as "dns" and "routes" specify information that is added on to the information returned from automatic configuration​. The "ignore−auto−routes" and "ignore−auto−dns" properties modify this behavior​. For methods that imply no upstream network, such as "shared" or "link−local", these properties must be empty​. For IPv4 method "shared", the IP subnet can be configured by adding one manual IPv4 address or otherwise 10​.42​.x​.0/24 is chosen​. Note that the shared method must be configured on the interface which shares the internet to a subnet, not on the uplink which is shared​. mtu uint32 0 Maximum transmission unit size, in bytes​. If zero (the default), the MTU is set automatically from router advertisements or is left equal to the link−layer MTU​. If greater than the link−layer MTU, or greater than zero but less than the minimum IPv6 MTU of 1280, this value has no effect​. never−default boolean FALSE If TRUE, this connection will never be the default connection for this IP type, meaning it will never be assigned the default route by NetworkManager​. ra−timeout int32 0 A timeout for waiting Router Advertisements in seconds​. If zero (the default), a globally configured default is used​. If still unspecified, the timeout depends on the sysctl settings of the device​. Set to 2147483647 (MAXINT32) for infinity​. required−timeout int32 −1 The minimum time interval in milliseconds for which dynamic IP configuration should be tried before the connection succeeds​. This property is useful for example if both IPv4 and IPv6 are enabled and are allowed to fail​. Normally the connection succeeds as soon as one of the two address families completes; by setting a required timeout for e​.g​. IPv4, one can ensure that even if IP6 succeeds earlier than IPv4, NetworkManager waits some time for IPv4 before the connection becomes active​. Note that if "may−fail" is FALSE for the same address family, this property has no effect as NetworkManager needs to wait for the full DHCP timeout​. A zero value means that no required timeout is present, −1 means the default value (either configuration ipvx​.required−timeout override or zero)​. route−data array of vardict  ​ Array of IPv6 routes​. Each route dictionary contains at least 'dest' and 'prefix' entries, containing the destination IP address as a string, and the prefix length as a uint32​. Most routes will also have a 'next−hop' entry, containing the next hop IP address as a string​. If the route has a 'metric' entry (containing a uint32), that will be used as the metric for the route (otherwise NM will pick a default value appropriate to the device)​. Additional attributes may also exist on some routes​. route−metric int64 −1 The default metric for routes that don't explicitly specify a metric​. The default value −1 means that the metric is chosen automatically based on the device type​. The metric applies to dynamic routes, manual (static) routes that don't have an explicit metric setting, address prefix routes, and the default route​. Note that for IPv6, the kernel accepts zero (0) but coerces it to 1024 (user default)​. Hence, setting this property to zero effectively mean setting it to 1024​. For IPv4, zero is a regular value for the metric​. route−table uint32 0 Enable policy routing (source routing) and set the routing table used when adding routes​. This affects all routes, including device−routes, IPv4LL, DHCP, SLAAC, default−routes and static routes​. But note that static routes can individually overwrite the setting by explicitly specifying a non−zero routing table​. If the table setting is left at zero, it is eligible to be overwritten via global configuration​. If the property is zero even after applying the global configuration value, policy routing is disabled for the address family of this connection​. Policy routing disabled means that NetworkManager will add all routes to the main table (except static routes that explicitly configure a different table)​. Additionally, NetworkManager will not delete any extraneous routes from tables except the main table​. This is to preserve backward compatibility for users who manage routing tables outside of NetworkManager​. routes array of legacy IPv6 route struct (a(ayuayu))  ​ Deprecated in favor of the 'route−data' property, but this can be used for backward−compatibility with older daemons​. Note that if you send this property the daemon will ignore 'route−data'​. Array of IPv6 route structures​. Each IPv6 route structure is composed of an IPv6 address, a prefix length (0 − 128), an IPv6 next hop address (which may be zeroed out if there is no next hop), and a metric​. If the metric is 0, NM will choose an appropriate default metric for the device​. routing−rules array of 'a{sv}'  ​ Array of dictionaries for routing rules​. Each routing rule supports the following options: action (y), dport−end (q), dport−start (q), family (i), from (s), from−len (y), fwmark (u), fwmask (u), iifname (s), invert (b), ipproto (s), oifname (s), priority (u), sport−end (q), sport−start (q), supress−prefixlength (i), table (u), to (s), tos (y), to−len (y), range−end (u), range−start (u)​. token string  ​ Configure the token for draft−chown−6man−tokenised−ipv6−identifiers−02 IPv6 tokenized interface identifiers​. Useful with eui64 addr−gen−mode​.

ip−tunnel settingIP Tunneling Settings​. Key Name Value Type Default Value Value Description encapsulation−limit uint32 0 How many additional levels of encapsulation are permitted to be prepended to packets​. This property applies only to IPv6 tunnels​. flags uint32 0 Tunnel flags​. Currently, the following values are supported: NM_IP_TUNNEL_FLAG_IP6_IGN_ENCAP_LIMIT (0x1), NM_IP_TUNNEL_FLAG_IP6_USE_ORIG_TCLASS (0x2), NM_IP_TUNNEL_FLAG_IP6_USE_ORIG_FLOWLABEL (0x4), NM_IP_TUNNEL_FLAG_IP6_MIP6_DEV (0x8), NM_IP_TUNNEL_FLAG_IP6_RCV_DSCP_COPY (0x10), NM_IP_TUNNEL_FLAG_IP6_USE_ORIG_FWMARK (0x20)​. They are valid only for IPv6 tunnels​. flow−label uint32 0 The flow label to assign to tunnel packets​. This property applies only to IPv6 tunnels​. fwmark uint32 0 The fwmark value to assign to tunnel packets​. This property can be set to a non zero value only on VTI and VTI6 tunnels​. input−key string  ​ The key used for tunnel input packets; the property is valid only for certain tunnel modes (GRE, IP6GRE)​. If empty, no key is used​. local string  ​ The local endpoint of the tunnel; the value can be empty, otherwise it must contain an IPv4 or IPv6 address​. mode uint32 0 The tunneling mode, for example NM_IP_TUNNEL_MODE_IPIP (1) or NM_IP_TUNNEL_MODE_GRE (2)​. mtu uint32 0 If non−zero, only transmit packets of the specified size or smaller, breaking larger packets up into multiple fragments​. output−key string  ​ The key used for tunnel output packets; the property is valid only for certain tunnel modes (GRE, IP6GRE)​. If empty, no key is used​. parent string  ​ If given, specifies the parent interface name or parent connection UUID the new device will be bound to so that tunneled packets will only be routed via that interface​. path−mtu−discovery boolean TRUE Whether to enable Path MTU Discovery on this tunnel​. remote string  ​ The remote endpoint of the tunnel; the value must contain an IPv4 or IPv6 address​. tos uint32 0 The type of service (IPv4) or traffic class (IPv6) field to be set on tunneled packets​. ttl uint32 0 The TTL to assign to tunneled packets​. 0 is a special value meaning that packets inherit the TTL value​.

macsec settingMACSec Settings​. Key Name Value Type Default Value Value Description encrypt boolean TRUE Whether the transmitted traffic must be encrypted​. mka−cak string  ​ The pre−shared CAK (Connectivity Association Key) for MACsec Key Agreement​. Must be a string of 32 hexadecimal characters​. mka−cak−flags NMSettingSecretFlags (uint32)  ​ Flags indicating how to handle the "mka−cak" property​. mka−ckn string  ​ The pre−shared CKN (Connectivity−association Key Name) for MACsec Key Agreement​. Must be a string of hexadecimal characters with a even length between 2 and 64​. mode int32 0 Specifies how the CAK (Connectivity Association Key) for MKA (MACsec Key Agreement) is obtained​. parent string  ​ If given, specifies the parent interface name or parent connection UUID from which this MACSEC interface should be created​. If this property is not specified, the connection must contain an "802−3−ethernet" setting with a "mac−address" property​. port int32 1 The port component of the SCI (Secure Channel Identifier), between 1 and 65534​. send−sci boolean TRUE Specifies whether the SCI (Secure Channel Identifier) is included in every packet​. validation int32 2 Specifies the validation mode for incoming frames​.

macvlan settingMAC VLAN Settings​. Key Name Value Type Default Value Value Description mode uint32 0 The macvlan mode, which specifies the communication mechanism between multiple macvlans on the same lower device​. parent string  ​ If given, specifies the parent interface name or parent connection UUID from which this MAC−VLAN interface should be created​. If this property is not specified, the connection must contain an "802−3−ethernet" setting with a "mac−address" property​. promiscuous boolean TRUE Whether the interface should be put in promiscuous mode​. tap boolean FALSE Whether the interface should be a MACVTAP​.

match settingMatch settings​. Key Name Value Type Default Value Value Description driver array of string  ​ A list of driver names to match​. Each element is a shell wildcard pattern​. See NMSettingMatch:interface−name for how special characters '|', '&', '!' and '\\' are used for optional and mandatory matches and inverting the pattern​. interface−name array of string  ​ A list of interface names to match​. Each element is a shell wildcard pattern​. An element can be prefixed with a pipe symbol (|) or an ampersand (&)​. The former means that the element is optional and the latter means that it is mandatory​. If there are any optional elements, than the match evaluates to true if at least one of the optional element matches (logical OR)​. If there are any mandatory elements, then they all must match (logical AND)​. By default, an element is optional​. This means that an element "foo" behaves the same as "|foo"​. An element can also be inverted with exclamation mark (!) between the pipe symbol (or the ampersand) and before the pattern​. Note that "!foo" is a shortcut for the mandatory match "&!foo"​. Finally, a backslash can be used at the beginning of the element (after the optional special characters) to escape the start of the pattern​. For example, "&\\!a" is an mandatory match for literally "!a"​. kernel−command−line array of string  ​ A list of kernel command line arguments to match​. This may be used to check whether a specific kernel command line option is set (or unset, if prefixed with the exclamation mark)​. The argument must either be a single word, or an assignment (i​.e​. two words, joined by "=")​. In the former case the kernel command line is searched for the word appearing as is, or as left hand side of an assignment​. In the latter case, the exact assignment is looked for with right and left hand side matching​. Wildcard patterns are not supported​. See NMSettingMatch:interface−name for how special characters '|', '&', '!' and '\\' are used for optional and mandatory matches and inverting the match​. path array of string  ​ A list of paths to match against the ID_PATH udev property of devices​. ID_PATH represents the topological persistent path of a device​. It typically contains a subsystem string (pci, usb, platform, etc​.) and a subsystem−specific identifier​. For PCI devices the path has the form "pci−$domain:$bus:$device​.$function", where each variable is an hexadecimal value; for example "pci−0000:0a:00​.0"​. The path of a device can be obtained with "udevadm info /sys/class/net/$dev | grep ID_PATH=" or by looking at the "path" property exported by NetworkManager ("nmcli −f general​.path device show $dev")​. Each element of the list is a shell wildcard pattern​. See NMSettingMatch:interface−name for how special characters '|', '&', '!' and '\\' are used for optional and mandatory matches and inverting the pattern​.

802−11−olpc−mesh settingOLPC Wireless Mesh Settings​. Key Name Value Type Default Value Value Description channel uint32 0 Channel on which the mesh network to join is located​. dhcp−anycast−address byte array  ​ Anycast DHCP MAC address used when requesting an IP address via DHCP​. The specific anycast address used determines which DHCP server class answers the request​. This is currently only implemented by dhclient DHCP plugin​. ssid byte array  ​ SSID of the mesh network to join​.

ovs−bridge settingOvsBridge Link Settings​. Key Name Value Type Default Value Value Description datapath−type string  ​ The data path type​. One of "system", "netdev" or empty​. fail−mode string  ​ The bridge failure mode​. One of "secure", "standalone" or empty​. mcast−snooping−enable boolean FALSE Enable or disable multicast snooping​. rstp−enable boolean FALSE Enable or disable RSTP​. stp−enable boolean FALSE Enable or disable STP​.

ovs−dpdk settingOvsDpdk Link Settings​. Key Name Value Type Default Value Value Description devargs string  ​ Open vSwitch DPDK device arguments​. n−rxq uint32 0 Open vSwitch DPDK number of rx queues​. Defaults to zero which means to leave the parameter in OVS unspecified and effectively configures one queue​. n−rxq−desc uint32 0 The rx queue size (number of rx descriptors) for DPDK ports​. Must be zero or a power of 2 between 1 and 4096, and supported by the hardware​. Defaults to zero which means to leave the parameter in OVS unspecified and effectively configures 2048 descriptors​. n−txq−desc uint32 0 The tx queue size (number of tx descriptors) for DPDK ports​. Must be zero or a power of 2 between 1 and 4096, and supported by the hardware​. Defaults to zero which means to leave the parameter in OVS unspecified and effectively configures 2048 descriptors​.

ovs−interface settingOpen vSwitch Interface Settings​. Key Name Value Type Default Value Value Description ofport−request uint32 0 Open vSwitch openflow port number​. Defaults to zero which means that port number will not be specified and it will be chosen randomly by ovs​. OpenFlow ports are the network interfaces for passing packets between OpenFlow processing and the rest of the network​. OpenFlow switches connect logically to each other via their OpenFlow ports​. type string  ​ The interface type​. Either "internal", "system", "patch", "dpdk", or empty​.

ovs−patch settingOvsPatch Link Settings​. Key Name Value Type Default Value Value Description peer string  ​ Specifies the name of the interface for the other side of the patch​. The patch on the other side must also set this interface as peer​.

If set to NM_TERNARY_FALSE (0), VFs will not be claimed and no network interfaces will be created for them​. When set to NM_TERNARY_DEFAULT (−1), the global default is used; in case the global default is unspecified it is assumed to be NM_TERNARY_TRUE (1)​. total−vfs uint32 0 The total number of virtual functions to create​. Note that when the sriov setting is present NetworkManager enforces the number of virtual functions on the interface (also when it is zero) during activation and resets it upon deactivation​. To prevent any changes to SR−IOV parameters don't add a sriov setting to the connection​. vfs array of vardict  ​ Array of virtual function descriptors​. Each VF descriptor is a dictionary mapping attribute names to GVariant values​. The 'index' entry is mandatory for each VF​. When represented as string a VF is in the form: "INDEX [ATTR=VALUE[ ATTR=VALUE]​.​.​.]"​. for example: "2 mac=00:11:22:33:44:55 spoof−check=true"​.

vlan settingVLAN Settings​. Key Name Value Type Default Value Value Description egress−priority−map array of string  ​ For outgoing packets, a list of mappings from Linux SKB priorities to 802​.1p priorities​. The mapping is given in the format "from:to" where both "from" and "to" are unsigned integers, ie "7:3"​. flags NMVlanFlags (uint32)  ​ One or more flags which control the behavior and features of the VLAN interface​. Flags include NM_VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HEADERS (0x1) (reordering of output packet headers), NM_VLAN_FLAG_GVRP (0x2) (use of the GVRP protocol), and NM_VLAN_FLAG_LOOSE_BINDING (0x4) (loose binding of the interface to its master device's operating state)​. NM_VLAN_FLAG_MVRP (0x8) (use of the MVRP protocol)​. The default value of this property is NM_VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HEADERS, but it used to be 0​. To preserve backward compatibility, the default−value in the D−Bus API continues to be 0 and a missing property on D−Bus is still considered as 0​. id uint32 0 The VLAN identifier that the interface created by this connection should be assigned​. The valid range is from 0 to 4094, without the reserved id 4095​. ingress−priority−map array of string  ​ For incoming packets, a list of mappings from 802​.1p priorities to Linux SKB priorities​. The mapping is given in the format "from:to" where both "from" and "to" are unsigned integers, ie "7:3"​. interface−name string  ​ Deprecated in favor of connection​.interface−name, but can be used for backward−compatibility with older daemons, to set the vlan's interface name​. parent string  ​ If given, specifies the parent interface name or parent connection UUID from which this VLAN interface should be created​.

Both keys and values must be strings​. service−type string  ​ D−Bus service name of the VPN plugin that this setting uses to connect to its network​. i​.e​. org​.freedesktop​.NetworkManager​.vpnc for the vpnc plugin​. timeout uint32 0 Timeout for the VPN service to establish the connection​. Some services may take quite a long time to connect​. Value of 0 means a default timeout, which is 60 seconds (unless overridden by vpn​.timeout in configuration file)​. Values greater than zero mean timeout in seconds​. user−name string  ​ If the VPN connection requires a user name for authentication, that name should be provided here​. If the connection is available to more than one user, and the VPN requires each user to supply a different name, then leave this property empty​. If this property is empty, NetworkManager will automatically supply the username of the user which requested the VPN connection​.

vrf settingVRF settings​. Key Name Value Type Default Value Value Description table uint32 0 The routing table for this VRF​.

vxlan settingVXLAN Settings​.

wifi−p2p settingWi−Fi P2P Settings​. Key Name Value Type Default Value Value Description peer string  ​ The P2P device that should be connected to​. Currently, this is the only way to create or join a group​. wfd−ies byte array  ​ The Wi−Fi Display (WFD) Information Elements (IEs) to set​. Wi−Fi Display requires a protocol specific information element to be set in certain Wi−Fi frames​. These can be specified here for the purpose of establishing a connection​. This setting is only useful when implementing a Wi−Fi Display client​. wps−method uint32 0 Flags indicating which mode of WPS is to be used​. There's little point in changing the default setting as NetworkManager will automatically determine the best method to use​.

wimax settingWiMax Settings​. Key Name Value Type Default Value Value Description mac−address byte array  ​ If specified, this connection will only apply to the WiMAX device whose MAC address matches​. This property does not change the MAC address of the device (known as MAC spoofing)​. This property is deprecated since version 1​.2​.WiMAX is no longer supported​. network−name string  ​ Network Service Provider (NSP) name of the WiMAX network this connection should use​. This property is deprecated since version 1​.2​.WiMAX is no longer supported​.

802−3−ethernet settingWired Ethernet Settings​. Key Name Value Type Default Value Value Description accept−all−mac−addresses NMTernary (int32)  ​ When TRUE, setup the interface to accept packets for all MAC addresses​. This is enabling the kernel interface flag IFF_PROMISC​. When FALSE, the interface will only accept the packets with the interface destination mac address or broadcast​. assigned−mac−address string  ​ The new field for the cloned MAC address​. It can be either a hardware address in ASCII representation, or one of the special values "preserve", "permanent", "random" or "stable"​. This field replaces the deprecated "cloned−mac−address" on D−Bus, which can only contain explicit hardware addresses​. Note that this property only exists in D−Bus API​. libnm and nmcli continue to call this property "cloned−mac−address"​. auto−negotiate boolean FALSE When TRUE, enforce auto−negotiation of speed and duplex mode​. If "speed" and "duplex" properties are both specified, only that single mode will be advertised and accepted during the link auto−negotiation process: this works only for BASE−T 802​.3 specifications and is useful for enforcing gigabits modes, as in these cases link negotiation is mandatory​. When FALSE, "speed" and "duplex" properties should be both set or link configuration will be skipped​. cloned−mac−address byte array  ​ This D−Bus field is deprecated in favor of "assigned−mac−address" which is more flexible and allows specifying special variants like "random"​. For libnm and nmcli, this field is called "cloned−mac−address"​. duplex string  ​ When a value is set, either "half" or "full", configures the device to use the specified duplex mode​. If "auto−negotiate" is "yes" the specified duplex mode will be the only one advertised during link negotiation: this works only for BASE−T 802​.3 specifications and is useful for enforcing gigabits modes, as in these cases link negotiation is mandatory​. If the value is unset (the default), the link configuration will be either skipped (if "auto−negotiate" is "no", the default) or will be auto−negotiated (if "auto−negotiate" is "yes") and the local device will advertise all the supported duplex modes​. Must be set together with the "speed" property if specified​. Before specifying a duplex mode be sure your device supports it​. generate−mac−address−mask string  ​ With "cloned−mac−address" setting "random" or "stable", by default all bits of the MAC address are scrambled and a locally−administered, unicast MAC address is created​. This property allows to specify that certain bits are fixed​. Note that the least significant bit of the first MAC address will always be unset to create a unicast MAC address​. If the property is NULL, it is eligible to be overwritten by a default connection setting​. If the value is still NULL or an empty string, the default is to create a locally−administered, unicast MAC address​. If the value contains one MAC address, this address is used as mask​. The set bits of the mask are to be filled with the current MAC address of the device, while the unset bits are subject to randomization​. Setting "FE:FF:FF:00:00:00" means to preserve the OUI of the current MAC address and only randomize the lower 3 bytes using the "random" or "stable" algorithm​. If the value contains one additional MAC address after the mask, this address is used instead of the current MAC address to fill the bits that shall not be randomized​. For example, a value of "FE:FF:FF:00:00:00 68:F7:28:00:00:00" will set the OUI of the MAC address to 68:F7:28, while the lower bits are randomized​. A value of "02:00:00:00:00:00 00:00:00:00:00:00" will create a fully scrambled globally−administered, burned−in MAC address​. If the value contains more than one additional MAC addresses, one of them is chosen randomly​. For example, "02:00:00:00:00:00 00:00:00:00:00:00 02:00:00:00:00:00" will create a fully scrambled MAC address, randomly locally or globally administered​. mac−address byte array  ​ If specified, this connection will only apply to the Ethernet device whose permanent MAC address matches​. This property does not change the MAC address of the device (i​.e​. MAC spoofing)​. mac−address−blacklist array of string  ​ If specified, this connection will never apply to the Ethernet device whose permanent MAC address matches an address in the list​. Each MAC address is in the standard hex−digits−and−colons notation (00:11:22:33:44:55)​. mtu uint32 0 If non−zero, only transmit packets of the specified size or smaller, breaking larger packets up into multiple Ethernet frames​. port string  ​ Specific port type to use if the device supports multiple attachment methods​. One of "tp" (Twisted Pair), "aui" (Attachment Unit Interface), "bnc" (Thin Ethernet) or "mii" (Media Independent Interface)​. If the device supports only one port type, this setting is ignored​. s390−nettype string  ​ s390 network device type; one of "qeth", "lcs", or "ctc", representing the different types of virtual network devices available on s390 systems​. s390−options dict of string to string {} Dictionary of key/value pairs of s390−specific device options​. Both keys and values must be strings​. Allowed keys include "portno", "layer2", "portname", "protocol", among others​. Key names must contain only alphanumeric characters (ie, [a−zA−Z0−9])​. Currently, NetworkManager itself does nothing with this information​. However, s390utils ships a udev rule which parses this information and applies it to the interface​. s390−subchannels array of string  ​ Identifies specific subchannels that this network device uses for communication with z/VM or s390 host​. Like the "mac−address" property for non−z/VM devices, this property can be used to ensure this connection only applies to the network device that uses these subchannels​. The list should contain exactly 3 strings, and each string may only be composed of hexadecimal characters and the period (​.) character​. speed uint32 0 When a value greater than 0 is set, configures the device to use the specified speed​. If "auto−negotiate" is "yes" the specified speed will be the only one advertised during link negotiation: this works only for BASE−T 802​.3 specifications and is useful for enforcing gigabit speeds, as in this case link negotiation is mandatory​. If the value is unset (0, the default), the link configuration will be either skipped (if "auto−negotiate" is "no", the default) or will be auto−negotiated (if "auto−negotiate" is "yes") and the local device will advertise all the supported speeds​. In Mbit/s, ie 100 == 100Mbit/s​. Must be set together with the "duplex" property when non−zero​. Before specifying a speed value be sure your device supports it​. wake−on−lan uint32 1 The NMSettingWiredWakeOnLan options to enable​. Not all devices support all options​. May be any combination of NM_SETTING_WIRED_WAKE_ON_LAN_PHY (0x2), NM_SETTING_WIRED_WAKE_ON_LAN_UNICAST (0x4), NM_SETTING_WIRED_WAKE_ON_LAN_MULTICAST (0x8), NM_SETTING_WIRED_WAKE_ON_LAN_BROADCAST (0x10), NM_SETTING_WIRED_WAKE_ON_LAN_ARP (0x20), NM_SETTING_WIRED_WAKE_ON_LAN_MAGIC (0x40) or the special values NM_SETTING_WIRED_WAKE_ON_LAN_DEFAULT (0x1) (to use global settings) and NM_SETTING_WIRED_WAKE_ON_LAN_IGNORE (0x8000) (to disable management of Wake−on−LAN in NetworkManager)​. wake−on−lan−password string  ​ If specified, the password used with magic−packet−based Wake−on−LAN, represented as an Ethernet MAC address​. If NULL, no password will be required​.

wireguard settingWireGuard Settings​. Key Name Value Type Default Value Value Description fwmark uint32 0 The use of fwmark is optional and is by default off​. Setting it to 0 disables it​. Otherwise, it is a 32−bit fwmark for outgoing packets​. Note that "ip4−auto−default−route" or "ip6−auto−default−route" enabled, implies to automatically choose a fwmark​. ip4−auto−default−route NMTernary (int32)  ​ Whether to enable special handling of the IPv4 default route​. If enabled, the IPv4 default route from wireguard​.peer−routes will be placed to a dedicated routing−table and two policy routing rules will be added​. The fwmark number is also used as routing−table for the default−route, and if fwmark is zero, an unused fwmark/table is chosen automatically​. This corresponds to what wg−quick does with Table=auto and what WireGuard calls "Improved Rule−based Routing"​. Note that for this automatism to work, you usually don't want to set ipv4​.gateway, because that will result in a conflicting default route​. Leaving this at the default will enable this option automatically if ipv4​.never−default is not set and there are any peers that use a default−route as allowed−ips​. Since this automatism only makes sense if you also have a peer with an /0 allowed−ips, it is usually not necessary to enable this explicitly​. However, you can disable it if you want to configure your own routing and rules​. ip6−auto−default−route NMTernary (int32)  ​ Like ip4−auto−default−route, but for the IPv6 default route​. listen−port uint32 0 The listen−port​. If listen−port is not specified, the port will be chosen randomly when the interface comes up​. mtu uint32 0 If non−zero, only transmit packets of the specified size or smaller, breaking larger packets up into multiple fragments​. If zero a default MTU is used​. Note that contrary to wg−quick's MTU setting, this does not take into account the current routes at the time of activation​. peer−routes boolean TRUE Whether to automatically add routes for the AllowedIPs ranges of the peers​. If TRUE (the default), NetworkManager will automatically add routes in the routing tables according to ipv4​.route−table and ipv6​.route−table​. Usually you want this automatism enabled​. If FALSE, no such routes are added automatically​. In this case, the user may want to configure static routes in ipv4​.routes and ipv6​.routes, respectively​. Note that if the peer's AllowedIPs is "0​.0​.0​.0/0" or "::/0" and the profile's ipv4​.never−default or ipv6​.never−default setting is enabled, the peer route for this peer won't be added automatically​. peers array of 'a{sv}'  ​ Array of dictionaries for the WireGuard peers​. private−key string  ​ The 256 bit private−key in base64 encoding​. private−key−flags NMSettingSecretFlags (uint32)  ​ Flags indicating how to handle the "private−key" property​.

802−11−wireless settingWi−Fi Settings​. Key Name Value Type Default Value Value Description ap−isolation NMTernary (int32)  ​ Configures AP isolation, which prevents communication between wireless devices connected to this AP​. This property can be set to a value different from NM_TERNARY_DEFAULT (−1) only when the interface is configured in AP mode​. If set to NM_TERNARY_TRUE (1), devices are not able to communicate with each other​. This increases security because it protects devices against attacks from other clients in the network​. At the same time, it prevents devices to access resources on the same wireless networks as file shares, printers, etc​. If set to NM_TERNARY_FALSE (0), devices can talk to each other​. When set to NM_TERNARY_DEFAULT (−1), the global default is used; in case the global default is unspecified it is assumed to be NM_TERNARY_FALSE (0)​. assigned−mac−address string  ​ The new field for the cloned MAC address​. It can be either a hardware address in ASCII representation, or one of the special values "preserve", "permanent", "random" or "stable"​. This field replaces the deprecated "cloned−mac−address" on D−Bus, which can only contain explicit hardware addresses​. Note that this property only exists in D−Bus API​. libnm and nmcli continue to call this property "cloned−mac−address"​. band string  ​ 802​.11 frequency band of the network​. One of "a" for 5GHz 802​.11a or "bg" for 2​.4GHz 802​.11​. This will lock associations to the Wi−Fi network to the specific band, i​.e​. if "a" is specified, the device will not associate with the same network in the 2​.4GHz band even if the network's settings are compatible​. This setting depends on specific driver capability and may not work with all drivers​. bssid byte array  ​ If specified, directs the device to only associate with the given access point​. This capability is highly driver dependent and not supported by all devices​. Note: this property does not control the BSSID used when creating an Ad−Hoc network and is unlikely to in the future​. Locking a client profile to a certain BSSID will prevent roaming and also disable background scanning​. That can be useful, if there is only one access point for the SSID​. channel uint32 0 Wireless channel to use for the Wi−Fi connection​. The device will only join (or create for Ad−Hoc networks) a Wi−Fi network on the specified channel​. Because channel numbers overlap between bands, this property also requires the "band" property to be set​. cloned−mac−address byte array  ​ This D−Bus field is deprecated in favor of "assigned−mac−address" which is more flexible and allows specifying special variants like "random"​. For libnm and nmcli, this field is called "cloned−mac−address"​. generate−mac−address−mask string  ​ With "cloned−mac−address" setting "random" or "stable", by default all bits of the MAC address are scrambled and a locally−administered, unicast MAC address is created​. This property allows to specify that certain bits are fixed​. Note that the least significant bit of the first MAC address will always be unset to create a unicast MAC address​. If the property is NULL, it is eligible to be overwritten by a default connection setting​. If the value is still NULL or an empty string, the default is to create a locally−administered, unicast MAC address​. If the value contains one MAC address, this address is used as mask​. The set bits of the mask are to be filled with the current MAC address of the device, while the unset bits are subject to randomization​. Setting "FE:FF:FF:00:00:00" means to preserve the OUI of the current MAC address and only randomize the lower 3 bytes using the "random" or "stable" algorithm​. If the value contains one additional MAC address after the mask, this address is used instead of the current MAC address to fill the bits that shall not be randomized​. For example, a value of "FE:FF:FF:00:00:00 68:F7:28:00:00:00" will set the OUI of the MAC address to 68:F7:28, while the lower bits are randomized​. A value of "02:00:00:00:00:00 00:00:00:00:00:00" will create a fully scrambled globally−administered, burned−in MAC address​. If the value contains more than one additional MAC addresses, one of them is chosen randomly​. For example, "02:00:00:00:00:00 00:00:00:00:00:00 02:00:00:00:00:00" will create a fully scrambled MAC address, randomly locally or globally administered​. hidden boolean FALSE If TRUE, indicates that the network is a non−broadcasting network that hides its SSID​. This works both in infrastructure and AP mode​. In infrastructure mode, various workarounds are used for a more reliable discovery of hidden networks, such as probe−scanning the SSID​. However, these workarounds expose inherent insecurities with hidden SSID networks, and thus hidden SSID networks should be used with caution​. In AP mode, the created network does not broadcast its SSID​. Note that marking the network as hidden may be a privacy issue for you (in infrastructure mode) or client stations (in AP mode), as the explicit probe−scans are distinctly recognizable on the air​. mac−address byte array  ​ If specified, this connection will only apply to the Wi−Fi device whose permanent MAC address matches​. This property does not change the MAC address of the device (i​.e​. MAC spoofing)​. mac−address−blacklist array of string  ​ A list of permanent MAC addresses of Wi−Fi devices to which this connection should never apply​. Each MAC address should be given in the standard hex−digits−and−colons notation (eg "00:11:22:33:44:55")​. mac−address−randomization uint32 0 One of NM_SETTING_MAC_RANDOMIZATION_DEFAULT (0) (never randomize unless the user has set a global default to randomize and the supplicant supports randomization), NM_SETTING_MAC_RANDOMIZATION_NEVER (1) (never randomize the MAC address), or NM_SETTING_MAC_RANDOMIZATION_ALWAYS (2) (always randomize the MAC address)​. This property is deprecated since version 1​.4​.Use the "cloned−mac−address" property instead​. mode string  ​ Wi−Fi network mode; one of "infrastructure", "mesh", "adhoc" or "ap"​. If blank, infrastructure is assumed​. mtu uint32 0 If non−zero, only transmit packets of the specified size or smaller, breaking larger packets up into multiple Ethernet frames​. powersave uint32 0 One of NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_POWERSAVE_DISABLE (2) (disable Wi−Fi power saving), NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_POWERSAVE_ENABLE (3) (enable Wi−Fi power saving), NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_POWERSAVE_IGNORE (1) (don't touch currently configure setting) or NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_POWERSAVE_DEFAULT (0) (use the globally configured value)​. All other values are reserved​. rate uint32 0 If non−zero, directs the device to only use the specified bitrate for communication with the access point​. Units are in Kb/s, ie 5500 = 5​.5 Mbit/s​. This property is highly driver dependent and not all devices support setting a static bitrate​. security  ​  ​ This property is deprecated, but can be set to the value '802−11−wireless−security' when a wireless security setting is also present in the connection dictionary, for compatibility with very old NetworkManager daemons​. seen−bssids array of string  ​ A list of BSSIDs (each BSSID formatted as a MAC address like "00:11:22:33:44:55") that have been detected as part of the Wi−Fi network​. NetworkManager internally tracks previously seen BSSIDs​. The property is only meant for reading and reflects the BSSID list of NetworkManager​. The changes you make to this property will not be preserved​. ssid byte array  ​ SSID of the Wi−Fi network​. Must be specified​. tx−power uint32 0 If non−zero, directs the device to use the specified transmit power​. Units are dBm​. This property is highly driver dependent and not all devices support setting a static transmit power​. wake−on−wlan uint32 1 The NMSettingWirelessWakeOnWLan options to enable​. Not all devices support all options​. May be any combination of NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_WAKE_ON_WLAN_ANY (0x2), NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_WAKE_ON_WLAN_DISCONNECT (0x4), NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_WAKE_ON_WLAN_MAGIC (0x8), NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_WAKE_ON_WLAN_GTK_REKEY_FAILURE (0x10), NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_WAKE_ON_WLAN_EAP_IDENTITY_REQUEST (0x20), NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_WAKE_ON_WLAN_4WAY_HANDSHAKE (0x40), NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_WAKE_ON_WLAN_RFKILL_RELEASE (0x80), NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_WAKE_ON_WLAN_TCP (0x100) or the special values NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_WAKE_ON_WLAN_DEFAULT (0x1) (to use global settings) and NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_WAKE_ON_WLAN_IGNORE (0x8000) (to disable management of Wake−on−LAN in NetworkManager)​.

When set to NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_SECURITY_PMF_DEFAULT (0) and no global default is set, PMF will be optionally enabled​. proto array of string  ​ List of strings specifying the allowed WPA protocol versions to use​. Each element may be one "wpa" (allow WPA) or "rsn" (allow WPA2/RSN)​. If not specified, both WPA and RSN connections are allowed​. psk string  ​ Pre−Shared−Key for WPA networks​. For WPA−PSK, it's either an ASCII passphrase of 8 to 63 characters that is (as specified in the 802​.11i standard) hashed to derive the actual key, or the key in form of 64 hexadecimal character​. The WPA3−Personal networks use a passphrase of any length for SAE authentication​. psk−flags NMSettingSecretFlags (uint32)  ​ Flags indicating how to handle the "psk" property​. wep−key−flags NMSettingSecretFlags (uint32)  ​ Flags indicating how to handle the "wep−key0", "wep−key1", "wep−key2", and "wep−key3" properties​. wep−key−type NMWepKeyType (uint32)  ​ Controls the interpretation of WEP keys​.

Valid values are 0 (default key) through 3​. Note that some consumer access points (like the Linksys WRT54G) number the keys 1 − 4​. wps−method uint32 0 Flags indicating which mode of WPS is to be used if any​. There's little point in changing the default setting as NetworkManager will automatically determine whether it's feasible to start WPS enrollment from the Access Point capabilities​. WPS can be disabled by setting this property to a value of 1​.

wpan settingIEEE 802​.15​.4 (WPAN) MAC Settings​. Key Name Value Type Default Value Value Description channel int32 −1 IEEE 802​.15​.4 channel​.

A positive integer or −1, meaning "do not set, use whatever the device is already set to"​. pan−id uint32 65535 IEEE 802​.15​.4 Personal Area Network (PAN) identifier​. short−address uint32 65535 Short IEEE 802​.15​.4 address to be used within a restricted environment​.

bond−port settingBond Port Settings​. Key Name Value Type Default Value Value Description queue−id uint32 0 The queue ID of this bond port​. The maximum value of queue ID is the number of TX queues currently active in device​.

hostname settingHostname settings​. Key Name Value Type Default Value Value Description from−dhcp NMTernary (int32)  ​ Whether the system hostname can be determined from DHCP on this connection​. When set to NM_TERNARY_DEFAULT (−1), the value from global configuration is used​. If the property doesn't have a value in the global configuration, NetworkManager assumes the value to be NM_TERNARY_TRUE (1)​. from−dns−lookup NMTernary (int32)  ​ Whether the system hostname can be determined from reverse DNS lookup of addresses on this device​. When set to NM_TERNARY_DEFAULT (−1), the value from global configuration is used​. If the property doesn't have a value in the global configuration, NetworkManager assumes the value to be NM_TERNARY_TRUE (1)​. only−from−default NMTernary (int32)  ​ If set to NM_TERNARY_TRUE (1), NetworkManager attempts to get the hostname via DHCPv4/DHCPv6 or reverse DNS lookup on this device only when the device has the default route for the given address family (IPv4/IPv6)​. If set to NM_TERNARY_FALSE (0), the hostname can be set from this device even if it doesn't have the default route​. When set to NM_TERNARY_DEFAULT (−1), the value from global configuration is used​. If the property doesn't have a value in the global configuration, NetworkManager assumes the value to be NM_TERNARY_FALSE (0)​. priority int32 0 The relative priority of this connection to determine the system hostname​. A lower numerical value is better (higher priority)​. A connection with higher priority is considered before connections with lower priority​. If the value is zero, it can be overridden by a global value from NetworkManager configuration​. If the property doesn't have a value in the global configuration, the value is assumed to be 100​. Negative values have the special effect of excluding other connections with a greater numerical priority value; so in presence of at least one negative priority, only connections with the lowest priority value will be used to determine the hostname​.

loopback settingLoopback Link Settings​. Key Name Value Type Default Value Value Description mtu uint32 0 If non−zero, only transmit packets of the specified size or smaller, breaking larger packets up into multiple Ethernet frames​.

Key Name Value Type Default Value Value Description data dict of string to string {} A dictionary of key/value pairs with other_config settings for OVS​. See also "other_config" in the "ovs−vswitchd​.conf​.db" manual for the keys that OVS supports​.

veth settingVeth Settings​. Key Name Value Type Default Value Value Description peer string  ​ This property specifies the peer interface name of the veth​. This property is mandatory​.

Secret flag types:Each password or secret property in a setting has an associated flags property that describes how to handle that secret​. The flags property is a bitfield that contains zero or more of the following values logically OR−ed together​. •  0x0 (none) − the system is responsible for providing and storing this secret​. This may be required so that secrets are already available before the user logs in​. It also commonly means that the secret will be stored in plain text on disk, accessible to root only​. For example via the keyfile settings plugin as described in the "PLUGINS" section in NetworkManager.conf(5)​. •  0x1 (agent−owned) − a user−session secret agent is responsible for providing and storing this secret; when it is required, agents will be asked to provide it​. •  0x2 (not−saved) − this secret should not be saved but should be requested from the user each time it is required​. This flag should be used for One−Time−Pad secrets, PIN codes from hardware tokens, or if the user simply does not want to save the secret​. •  0x4 (not−required) − in some situations it cannot be automatically determined that a secret is required or not​. This flag hints that the secret is not required and should not be requested from the user​.
