NetworkManager Questions

Post by kissellj » 2017/11/14 22:23:38

Is NetworkManager a tool or application that is used to start/stop just network applications (ftp, tcpip, etc.) in CentOS 7? What are the commands to list what is running in NetworkManager and start/stop applications? Does a start/stop need to be performed before using a yum upgrade or yum install? Assuming same would be true with rpm? Thank you.

No. It manages the network, not any applications.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Thank you for the reply. Thinking about the name should have given me the clue. Do you know some of the commands to start/stop the NetworkManager or list what is running?

You can use 'nmtui' or 'nmcli' to lisr,add,remove or modify your connections.

And 'systemctl' to list,start,stop,etc running services, like NetworkManager.service.

[root@localhost network-scripts]# nmcli dev
DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION
virbr0 bridge connected virbr0
enp0s31f6 ethernet connected enp0s31f6
lo loopback unmanaged --
virbr0-nic tun unmanaged --
wlp0s20f0u2 wifi unmanaged --

nmcli command says wifi is unmanaged and reports device as wlp0s20f0u2. How do I get it to run my scripts in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts that I created for my wifi?
ifcfg-myqwest4xxx
keys-myqwest4xxx

Reference documentation is in:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation ... networking

You did list devices. You want to adjust connections. What do you have?

Code: Select all

nmcli con show
