Unfortunately, due to the nature of VLANs (eg, they have a parent interface) that's necessary at this time. > I think the most super annoying part is that address cannot be set > from the shell, because connections are only created with the default > method, dhcp.

NM 0.9.9.1+ should allow any number of options with 'con mod': nmcli con mod "my-wifi" ipv4.method manual ipv4.addresses "192.168.1.2/24, 10.10.1.5/8" wifi.ssid "blahblah" > Other funny buglet that I remember is that if you create a VLAN > using e.g. > nmcli c add type Vlan ifname ethmain.3 con-name ethmain.3 autoconnect yes > dev ethmain id 3 > it still won't work, because HWADDR must be set. I believe we've fixed that earlier this year too; all that should be necessary these days is *either* the parent interface name (eg, "dev ethmain") or the parent hardware address. If you try out F21 or RHEL7, are these issues solved? Dan ___ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

I tinkered with it a bit more and figured it out. Apparently, I cannot migrate piecemeal. The parent device must be managed by NM before a VLAN on it can be managed. Once that was fixed, everything worked pretty much as expected, with just a few small bugs. I think the most super annoying part is that address cannot be set from the shell, because connections are only created with the default method, dhcp. The nmcli c mod cannot switch two properties at a time. Also, one cannot set method first and then ipv4.addresses, ipv6.addresses (I forgot what happens if you try). So, one must either do the "nmcli c edit xxx" thing, or hand-edit the connection and then "nmcli c reload". Other funny buglet that I remember is that if you create a VLAN using e.g. nmcli c add type Vlan ifname ethmain.3 con-name ethmain.3 autoconnect yes dev ethmain id 3 it still won't work, because HWADDR must be set. Anyhow, thanks a lot for the help. -- P ___ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

Result is like this: [root@elanor network-scripts]# nmcli conn show configured NAME UUID TYPE TIMESTAMP-REAL vlan-ethgray 098fcf3f-1801-4cfa-a8d4-85346bcd4083 vlan never [root@elanor network-scripts]# nmcli conn show configured id vlan-ethgray connection.id: vlan-ethgray connection.uuid:098fcf3f-1801-4cfa-a8d4-85346bcd4083 connection.interface-name: ethmain.4 connection.type:vlan connection.autoconnect: yes connection.timestamp: 0 connection.read-only: no connection.permissions: connection.zone:-- connection.master: -- connection.slave-type: -- connection.secondaries: connection.gateway-ping-timeout:0 802-3-ethernet.port:-- 802-3-ethernet.speed: 0 802-3-ethernet.duplex: -- 802-3-ethernet.auto-negotiate: yes 802-3-ethernet.mac-address: -- 802-3-ethernet.cloned-mac-address: -- 802-3-ethernet.mac-address-blacklist: 802-3-ethernet.mtu: auto 802-3-ethernet.s390-subchannels: 802-3-ethernet.s390-nettype:-- 802-3-ethernet.s390-options: ipv4.method:manual ipv4.dns: ipv4.dns-search: ipv4.addresses: { ip = 192.168.132.1/24, gw = 0.0.0.0 } ipv4.routes: ipv4.ignore-auto-routes:no ipv4.ignore-auto-dns: no ipv4.dhcp-client-id:-- ipv4.dhcp-send-hostname:yes ipv4.dhcp-hostname: -- ipv4.never-default: no ipv4.may-fail: no ipv6.method:manual ipv6.dns: ipv6.dns-search: ipv6.addresses: { ip = fd2d:acfb:74cc:5::1/64, gw = :: }; { ip = fe80:0:0:5::1/64, gw = :: } ipv6.routes: ipv6.ignore-auto-routes:no ipv6.ignore-auto-dns: no ipv6.never-default: yes ipv6.may-fail: no ipv6.ip6-privacy: -1 (unknown) ipv6.dhcp-hostname: -- vlan.interface-name:ethmain.4 vlan.parent:ethmain vlan.id:4 vlan.flags: 0 (NONE) vlan.ingress-priority-map: vlan.egress-priority-map: [root@elanor network-scripts]# Then, I make sure that device alias is deleted: [root@elanor network-scripts]# ip link delete dev ethmain.4 [root@elanor network-scripts]# nmcli dev DEVICE TYPE STATE ethmainethernet unmanaged lo loopback unmanaged ethmain.2 vlan unmanaged ethmain.3 vlan unmanaged ethmain.5 vlan unmanaged [root@elanor network-scripts]# So far, so good. But then... [root@elanor network-scripts]# nmcli c up id vlan-ethgray Error: Connection activation failed: Device not managed by NetworkManager or unavailable Oops! [root@elanor network-scripts]# nmcli dev DEVICE TYPE STATE ethmainethernet unmanaged lo loopback unmanaged ethmain.2 vlan unmanaged ethmain.3 vlan unmanaged ethmain.4 vlan unmanaged ethmain.5 vlan unmanaged So, NM creates the correct alias (visible with ip link or ip addr), but bails before setting any addresses on it. This happens with NetworkManager-0.9.9.0-40.git20131003.fc20.i686. Any ideas how this could be fixed? -- Pete ___ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
