Here you're creating two separate network profiles.  You only need to
create one profile for tap0 that includes the bridge-slave bits:

$ nmcli connection add type tun \
 ifname tap0 con-name tap0 \
 slave-type bridge master br0 \
 mode tap owner `id -u` ip4 0.0.0.0/24

or:

$ nmcli connection add type tun \
  ifname tap0 con-name tap0 \
  mode tap owner `id -u` ip4 0.0.0.0/24
$ nmcli connection mod tap0 connection.slave-type bridge \
  connection.master br0

'nmcli con add type <*-slave>' is just a short-cut to fill slave-type
for you.  The major point is that whenever you use "nmcli con add" it
will create a *new* connection profile.  You want to either put all
properties in one 'nmcli con add' or you can use 'nmcli con mod' to set
them after creation.

Re: How to create a simple tap0 interface using nmcli

2016-01-25 Thread Vincent Fortier
Thnx.  So lets say I previously created a bridge interface and linked in my
eth0:
$ nmcli connection show
$ nmcli connection delete 
$ nmcli connection add type bridge \
 ifname br0 con-name br0
$ nmcli connection add type bridge-slave \
 ifname eth0 con-name eth0 master br0

Presumably I create tap0 then add it to my br0 such as the following:

$ nmcli connection add type tun \

  ifname tap0 con-name tap0 \

  mode tap owner `id -u` ip4 0.0.0.0/24
$ nmcli connection add type bridge-slave \
  ifname tap0 con-name tap0 master br0

Then I would be good to go with qemu and be all-set "automagically" at
every reboot as autoconnect=yes is set by default.

NM1.2 not yet available under Ubuntu 16.04 alpha (duno if planned to be
included?) so can't test it unless I recompile from source.  Therefore in
the meantime it's more of a personnal knowledge thing than anything else.

Thnx in advance!

Hi,

creation of tun/tap devices is supported only in NetworkManager 1.2.
On such version you can create a tap connection using the command:

 $ nmcli connection add type tun ifname tap0 con-name mytap0 \
mode tap owner `id -u` ip4 x.x.x.x/24

The connection will have autoconnect=yes by default and so the device
will be created automatically every time NM starts. You can manually
enable or disable the connection with:

 $ nmcli connection up mytap0
 $ nmcli connection down mytap0

How to create a simple tap0 interface using nmcli

2016-01-24 Thread Vincent Fortier
I was wondering how can I create a tap interface using nmcli?  Search again
and again witouth luck...

Otherwise I use currently:

$ sudo openvpn --mktun --dev tap0 --user `id -un`

$ sudo ip addr add 0.0.0.0/24 dev tap0

$ sudo ip link set tap0 up promisc on


or simply:

$ sudo tunctl -d tap0


Thnx in advance!
