.SH "NAME"
nm-settings-ifcfg-rh \- Description of \fIifcfg\-rh\fR settings plugin
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
NetworkManager is based on the concept of connection profiles that contain network configuration (see
\fBnm-settings\fR(5)
for details)\&. The profiles can be stored in various formats\&. NetworkManager uses plugins for reading and writing the data\&. The plugins can be configured in
\fBNetworkManager.conf\fR(5)\&.
.PP
The
\fIifcfg\-rh\fR
plugin is used on the Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux distributions to read/write configuration from/to the standard
/etc/sysconfig/network\-scripts/ifcfg\-*
files\&. Each NetworkManager connection maps to one
ifcfg\-*
file, with possible usage of
keys\-*
for passwords,
route\-*
for static IPv4 routes and
route6\-*
for static IPv6 routes\&. The plugin currently supports reading and writing Ethernet, Wi\-Fi, InfiniBand, VLAN, Bond, Bridge, and Team connections\&. Unsupported connection types (such as WWAN, PPPoE, VPN, or ADSL are handled by
\fIkeyfile\fR
plugin (\fBnm-settings-keyfile\fR(5))\&. The main reason for using
\fIifcfg\-rh\fR
plugin is the compatibility with legacy configurations for
\fIifup\fR
and
\fIifdown\fR
(initscripts)\&.
.SH "FILE FORMAT"
.PP
The
\fIifcfg\-rh\fR
config format is a simple text file containing VARIABLE="value" lines\&. The format is described in
sysconfig\&.txt
of
\fIinitscripts\fR
package\&. Note that the configuration files may be sourced by
\fIinitscripts\fR, so they must be valid shell scripts\&. That means, for instance, that
#
character can be used for comments, strings with spaces must be quoted, special characters must be escaped, etc\&.
.PP
Users can create or modify the
\fIifcfg\-rh\fR
connection files manually, even if that is not the recommended way of managing the profiles\&. However, if they choose to do that, they must inform NetworkManager about their changes (see
\fImonitor\-connection\-file\fR
in
\fBnm-settings\fR(5), and
\fInmcli con (re)load\fR)\&.

The UUID values in the config files must be unique\&. You can use
\fIuuidgen\fR
command line tool to generate such values\&. Alternatively, you can leave out UUID entirely\&. In that case NetworkManager will generate a UUID based on the file name\&.
.SH "DIFFERENCES AGAINST INITSCRIPTS"
.PP
The main differences of NetworkManager ifcfg\-rh plugin and traditional initscripts are:
.PP
\fBNM_CONTROLLED=yes|no\fR
.RS 4
NM_CONTROLLED is NetworkManager\-specific variable used by NetworkManager for determining whether the device of the
\fIifcfg\fR
file should be managed\&. NM_CONTROLLED=yes is supposed if the variable is not present in the file\&. Note that if you have more
\fIifcfg\fR
files for a single device, NM_CONTROLLED=no in one of the files will cause the device not to be managed\&. The profile may not even be the active one\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBNew variables\fR
.RS 4
NetworkManager has introduced some new variable, not present in initscripts, to be able to store data for its new features\&. The variables are marked as extensions in the tables bellows\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBSemantic change of variables\fR
.RS 4
NetworkManager had to slightly change the semantic for a few variables\&.
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
PEERDNS
\- initscripts interpret PEERDNS=no to mean "never touch resolv\&.conf"\&. NetworkManager interprets it to say "never add automatic (DHCP, PPP, VPN, etc\&.) nameservers to resolv\&.conf"\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
ONBOOT
\- initscripts use ONBOOT=yes to mark the devices that are to be activated during boot\&. NetworkManager extents this to also mean that this profile can be used for auto\-connecting at any time\&.
.RE
.RE
.PP
See the next section for detailed mapping of NetworkManager properties and
\fIifcfg\-rh\fR
variables\&. Variable names, format and usage differences in NetworkManager and initscripts are documented in the tables bellow\&.
.SH "DETAILS"
.PP
\fIifcfg\-rh\fR
plugin variables marked with
\fI(+)\fR
