Naming of NIC in linux
Physical NIC

ethX, ensX, enoX, enpXsY

Virtual NIC

lo, brX, virbrX, teamX, vnetX, bond

Wireless NIC

wlanX
Verify NIC and IP property
ip link && ip addr
IP command (delete IP address)
ip addr del 10.0.0.10/8 dev ens160
IP command (adding IP address)
ip addr add 172.16.0.10/16 dev ens160
Note:

IP command is not permanent

For permanent connection (configuration) edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*


Network manager
It is a daemon in rhel which is used to manage IP property

Two ways of managing

1. nmtui
2. nmcli
Listing the connection
nmcli con show

nmcli con show --active

nmcli con show <con-name> | grep ipv4

nmcli con show <con-name> | grep connection


Deleting the connection
nmcli con del <con-name>
Creating a connection
#dhcp

nmcli con add con-name <con-name> ifname ens160 type ethernet

#manual

nmcli con add con-name <con-name> ifname ens160 type ethernet ip4 172.17.0.10/16 gw4 172.17.0.1
ip6 2000::10/64 gw6 2000::1
Activating/Deactivating a connection
nmcli con up <con-name>

nmcli con down <con-name>


Modifying a connection property
nmcli con modify <con-name> ipv4.addresses 172.18.0.10/16 ipv4.gateway 172.18.0.1 ipv4.dns 8.8.8.8
