NAME
nm-settings-dbus - Description of settings and properties of NetworkManager connection
profiles on the D-Bus API
DESCRIPTION
NetworkManager is based on a concept of connection profiles, sometimes referred to as
connections only. These connection profiles contain a network configuration. When
NetworkManager activates a connection profile on a network device the configuration will
be applied and an active network connection will be established. Users are free to create
as many connection profiles as they see fit. Thus they are flexible in having various
network configurations for different networking needs. The connection profiles are handled
by NetworkManager via settings service and are exported on D-Bus
(/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Settings/<num> objects). The conceptual objects can be
described as follows:
Connection (profile)
A specific, encapsulated, independent group of settings describing all the
configuration required to connect to a specific network. It is referred to by a unique
identifier called the UUID. A connection is tied to a one specific device type, but
not necessarily a specific hardware device. It is composed of one or more Settings
objects.
Setting
A group of related key/value pairs describing a specific piece of a Connection
(profile). Settings keys and allowed values are described in the tables below. Keys
are also referred to as properties. Developers can find the setting objects and their
properties in the libnm-core sources. Look for the *_class_init functions near the
bottom of each setting source file.
The settings and properties shown in tables below list all available connection
configuration options. However, note that not all settings are applicable to all
connection types. NetworkManager provides a command-line tool nmcli that allows direct
configuration of the settings and properties according to a connection profile type.
nmcli connection editor has also a built-in describe command that can display description
of particular settings and properties of this page.

┌──────────────────────┬──────────────────────────────────────┬───────────────┬────────────────────────────────────────┐
│Key Name │ Value Type │ Default Value │ Value Description │
├──────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────┼───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤
│auth-retries │ int32 │ -1 │ The number of │
│ │ │ │ retries for the │
│ │ │ │ authentication. │
│ │ │ │ Zero means to try │
│ │ │ │ indefinitely; -1 │
│ │ │ │ means to use a │
│ │ │ │ global default. If │
│ │ │ │ the global default │
│ │ │ │ is not set, the │
│ │ │ │ authentication │
│ │ │ │ retries for 3 times │
│ │ │ │ before failing the │
│ │ │ │ connection. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ Currently, this │
│ │ │ │ only applies to │
│ │ │ │ 802-1x │
│ │ │ │ authentication. │
├──────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────┼───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤
│autoconnect │ boolean │ TRUE │ Whether or not the │
│ │ │ │ connection should │
│ │ │ │ be automatically │
│ │ │ │ connected by │
│ │ │ │ NetworkManager when │
│ │ │ │ the resources for │
│ │ │ │ the connection are │
│ │ │ │ available. TRUE to │
│ │ │ │ automatically │
│ │ │ │ activate the │
│ │ │ │ connection, FALSE │
│ │ │ │ to require manual │
│ │ │ │ intervention to │
│ │ │ │ activate the │
│ │ │ │ connection. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ Autoconnect │
│ │ │ │ happens when the │
│ │ │ │ circumstances are │
│ │ │ │ suitable. That │
│ │ │ │ means for example │
│ │ │ │ that the device is │
│ │ │ │ currently managed │
│ │ │ │ and not active. │
│ │ │ │ Autoconnect thus │
│ │ │ │ never replaces or │
│ │ │ │ competes with an │
│ │ │ │ already active │
│ │ │ │ profile. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ Note that │
│ │ │ │ autoconnect is not │
│ │ │ │ implemented for VPN │
│ │ │ │ profiles. See │
│ │ │ │ "secondaries" as an │
│ │ │ │ alternative to │
│ │ │ │ automatically │
│ │ │ │ connect VPN │
│ │ │ │ profiles. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ If multiple │
│ │ │ │ profiles are ready │
│ │ │ │ to autoconnect on │
│ │ │ │ the same device, │
│ │ │ │ the one with the │
│ │ │ │ better │
│ │ │ │ "connection.autoconnect-priority" │
│ │ │ │ is chosen. If the │
│ │ │ │ priorities are │
│ │ │ │ equal, then the │
│ │ │ │ most recently │
│ │ │ │ connected profile │
│ │ │ │ is activated. If │
│ │ │ │ the profiles were │
│ │ │ │ not connected │
│ │ │ │ earlier or their │
│ │ │ │ "connection.timestamp" │
│ │ │ │ is identical, the │
│ │ │ │ choice is │
│ │ │ │ undefined. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ Depending on │
│ │ │ │ "connection.multi-connect", │
│ │ │ │ a profile can │
│ │ │ │ (auto)connect only │
│ │ │ │ once at a time or │
│ │ │ │ multiple times. │
├──────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────┼───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤
│autoconnect-priority │ int32 │ 0 │ The autoconnect priority in range │
│ │ │ │ -999 to 999. If the connection is │
│ │ │ │ set to autoconnect, connections │
│ │ │ │ with higher priority will be │
│ │ │ │ preferred. The higher number │
│ │ │ │ means higher priority. Defaults │
│ │ │ │ to 0. Note that this property │
│ │ │ │ only matters if there are more │
│ │ │ │ than one candidate profile to │
│ │ │ │ select for autoconnect. In case │
│ │ │ │ of equal priority, the profile │
│ │ │ │ used most recently is chosen. │
├──────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────┼───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤
│autoconnect-retries │ int32 │ -1 │ The number of times a connection │
│ │ │ │ should be tried when │
│ │ │ │ autoactivating before giving up. │
│ │ │ │ Zero means forever, -1 means the │
│ │ │ │ global default (4 times if not │
│ │ │ │ overridden). Setting this to 1 │
│ │ │ │ means to try activation only once │
│ │ │ │ before blocking autoconnect. Note │
│ │ │ │ that after a timeout, │
│ │ │ │ NetworkManager will try to │
│ │ │ │ autoconnect again. │
├──────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────┼───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤
│autoconnect-slaves │ NMSettingConnectionAutoconnectSlaves │ │ Whether or not slaves of this │
│ │ (int32) │ │ connection should be │
│ │ │ │ automatically brought up when │
│ │ │ │ NetworkManager activates this │
│ │ │ │ connection. This only has a real │
│ │ │ │ effect for master connections. │
│ │ │ │ The properties "autoconnect", │
│ │ │ │ "autoconnect-priority" and │
│ │ │ │ "autoconnect-retries" are │
│ │ │ │ unrelated to this setting. The │
│ │ │ │ permitted values are: 0: leave │
│ │ │ │ slave connections untouched, 1: │
│ │ │ │ activate all the slave │
│ │ │ │ connections with this connection, │
│ │ │ │ -1: default. If -1 (default) is │
│ │ │ │ set, global │
│ │ │ │ connection.autoconnect-slaves is │
│ │ │ │ read to determine the real value. │
│ │ │ │ If it is default as well, this │
│ │ │ │ fallbacks to 0. │
├──────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────┼───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤
│dns-over-tls │ int32 │ -1 │ Whether DNSOverTls (dns-over-tls) │
│ │ │ │ is enabled for the connection. │
│ │ │ │ DNSOverTls is a technology which │
│ │ │ │ uses TLS to encrypt dns traffic. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ The permitted values are: "yes" │
│ │ │ │ (2) use DNSOverTls and disabled │
│ │ │ │ fallback, "opportunistic" (1) use │
│ │ │ │ DNSOverTls but allow fallback to │
│ │ │ │ unencrypted resolution, "no" (0) │
│ │ │ │ don't ever use DNSOverTls. If │
│ │ │ │ unspecified "default" depends on │
│ │ │ │ the plugin used. Systemd-resolved │
│ │ │ │ uses global setting. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ This feature requires a plugin │
│ │ │ │ which supports DNSOverTls. │
│ │ │ │ Otherwise, the setting has no │
│ │ │ │ effect. One such plugin is │
│ │ │ │ dns-systemd-resolved. │
├──────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────┼───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤
│gateway-ping-timeout │ uint32 │ 0 │ If greater than zero, delay │
│ │ │ │ success of IP addressing until │
│ │ │ │ either the timeout is reached, or │
│ │ │ │ an IP gateway replies to a ping. │
├──────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────┼───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤
│id │ string │ │ A human readable unique │
│ │ │ │ identifier for the connection, │
│ │ │ │ like "Work Wi-Fi" or "T-Mobile │
│ │ │ │ 3G". │
├──────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────┼───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤
│interface-name │ string │ │ The name of the network interface │
│ │ │ │ this connection is bound to. If │
│ │ │ │ not set, then the connection can │
│ │ │ │ be attached to any interface of │
│ │ │ │ the appropriate type (subject to │
│ │ │ │ restrictions imposed by other │
│ │ │ │ settings). │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ For software devices this │
│ │ │ │ specifies the name of the created │
│ │ │ │ device. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ For connection types where │
│ │ │ │ interface names cannot easily be │
│ │ │ │ made persistent (e.g. mobile │
│ │ │ │ broadband or USB Ethernet), this │
│ │ │ │ property should not be used. │
│ │ │ │ Setting this property restricts │
│ │ │ │ the interfaces a connection can │
│ │ │ │ be used with, and if interface │
│ │ │ │ names change or are reordered the │
│ │ │ │ connection may be applied to the │
│ │ │ │ wrong interface. │
├──────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────┼───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤
│lldp │ int32 │ -1 │ Whether LLDP is enabled for the │
│ │ │ │ connection. │
├──────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────┼───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤
│llmnr │ int32 │ -1 │ Whether Link-Local Multicast Name │
│ │ │ │ Resolution (LLMNR) is enabled for │
│ │ │ │ the connection. LLMNR is a │
│ │ │ │ protocol based on the Domain Name │
│ │ │ │ System (DNS) packet format that │
│ │ │ │ allows both IPv4 and IPv6 hosts │
│ │ │ │ to perform name resolution for │
│ │ │ │ hosts on the same local link. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ The permitted values are: "yes" │
│ │ │ │ (2) register hostname and │
│ │ │ │ resolving for the connection, │
│ │ │ │ "no" (0) disable LLMNR for the │
│ │ │ │ interface, "resolve" (1) do not │

│ │ │ │ resolving of LLMNR host names If │
│ │ │ │ unspecified, "default" ultimately │
│ │ │ │ depends on the DNS plugin (which │
│ │ │ │ for systemd-resolved currently │
│ │ │ │ means "yes"). │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ This feature requires a plugin │
│ │ │ │ which supports LLMNR. Otherwise, │
│ │ │ │ the setting has no effect. One │
│ │ │ │ such plugin is │
│ │ │ │ dns-systemd-resolved. │
├──────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────┼───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤

├──────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────┼───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤
│mdns │ int32 │ -1 │ Whether mDNS is enabled for the │

│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ The permitted values are: "yes" │
│ │ │ │ (2) register hostname and │
│ │ │ │ resolving for the connection, │
│ │ │ │ "no" (0) disable mDNS for the │
│ │ │ │ interface, "resolve" (1) do not │
│ │ │ │ register hostname but allow │
│ │ │ │ resolving of mDNS host names and │
│ │ │ │ "default" (-1) to allow lookup of │
│ │ │ │ a global default in │
│ │ │ │ NetworkManager.conf. If │
│ │ │ │ unspecified, "default" ultimately │
│ │ │ │ depends on the DNS plugin (which │
│ │ │ │ for systemd-resolved currently │
│ │ │ │ means "no"). │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ This feature requires a plugin │
│ │ │ │ which supports mDNS. Otherwise, │
│ │ │ │ the setting has no effect. One │
│ │ │ │ such plugin is │
│ │ │ │ dns-systemd-resolved. │
├──────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────┼───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤
│metered │ NMMetered (int32) │ │ Whether the connection is │
│ │ │ │ metered. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ When updating this property on a │
│ │ │ │ currently activated connection, │
│ │ │ │ the change takes effect │
│ │ │ │ immediately. │
├──────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────┼───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤
│mptcp-flags │ uint32 │ 0 │ Whether to configure MPTCP │
│ │ │ │ endpoints and the address flags. │
│ │ │ │ If MPTCP is enabled in │
│ │ │ │ NetworkManager, it will configure │
│ │ │ │ the addresses of the interface as │
│ │ │ │ MPTCP endpoints. Note that IPv4 │
│ │ │ │ loopback addresses (127.0.0.0/8), │
│ │ │ │ IPv4 link local addresses │
│ │ │ │ (169.254.0.0/16), the IPv6 │
│ │ │ │ loopback address (::1), IPv6 link │
│ │ │ │ local addresses (fe80::/10), IPv6 │
│ │ │ │ unique local addresses (ULA, │
│ │ │ │ fc00::/7) and IPv6 privacy │
│ │ │ │ extension addresses (rfc3041, │
│ │ │ │ ipv6.ip6-privacy) will be │
│ │ │ │ excluded from being configured as │
│ │ │ │ endpoints. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ If "disabled" (0x1), MPTCP │
│ │ │ │ handling for the interface is │
│ │ │ │ disabled and no endpoints are │
│ │ │ │ registered. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ The "enabled" (0x2) flag means │
│ │ │ │ that MPTCP handling is enabled. │
│ │ │ │ This flag can also be implied │
│ │ │ │ from the presence of other flags. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ Even when enabled, MPTCP │
│ │ │ │ handling will by default still be │
│ │ │ │ disabled unless │
│ │ │ │ "/proc/sys/net/mptcp/enabled" │
│ │ │ │ sysctl is on. NetworkManager does │
│ │ │ │ not change the sysctl and this is │
│ │ │ │ up to the administrator or │
│ │ │ │ distribution. To configure │
│ │ │ │ endpoints even if the sysctl is │
│ │ │ │ disabled, "also-without-sysctl" │
│ │ │ │ (0x4) flag can be used. In that │
│ │ │ │ case, NetworkManager doesn't look │
│ │ │ │ at the sysctl and configures │
│ │ │ │ endpoints regardless. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ Even when enabled, │
│ │ │ │ NetworkManager will only │
│ │ │ │ configure MPTCP endpoints for a │
│ │ │ │ certain address family, if there │
│ │ │ │ is a unicast default route │
│ │ │ │ (0.0.0.0/0 or ::/0) in the main │
│ │ │ │ routing table. The flag │
│ │ │ │ "also-without-default-route" │
│ │ │ │ (0x8) can override that. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ When MPTCP handling is enabled │
│ │ │ │ then endpoints are configured │
│ │ │ │ with the specified address flags │
│ │ │ │ "signal" (0x10), "subflow" │
│ │ │ │ (0x20), "backup" (0x40), │
│ │ │ │ "fullmesh" (0x80). See │
│ │ │ │ ip-mptcp(8) manual for additional │
│ │ │ │ information about the flags. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ If the flags are zero (0x0), the │
│ │ │ │ global connection default from │
│ │ │ │ NetworkManager.conf is honored. │
│ │ │ │ If still unspecified, the │
│ │ │ │ fallback is "enabled,subflow". │
│ │ │ │ Note that this means that MPTCP │
│ │ │ │ is by default done depending on │
│ │ │ │ the "/proc/sys/net/mptcp/enabled" │
│ │ │ │ sysctl. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ NetworkManager does not change │
│ │ │ │ the MPTCP limits nor enable MPTCP │
│ │ │ │ via │
│ │ │ │ "/proc/sys/net/mptcp/enabled". │
│ │ │ │ That is a host configuration │
│ │ │ │ which the admin can change via │
│ │ │ │ sysctl and ip-mptcp. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ Strict reverse path filtering │
│ │ │ │ (rp_filter) breaks many MPTCP use │
│ │ │ │ cases, so when MPTCP handling for │
│ │ │ │ IPv4 addresses on the interface │
│ │ │ │ is enabled, NetworkManager would │
│ │ │ │ loosen the strict reverse path │
│ │ │ │ filtering (1) to the loose │
│ │ │ │ setting (2). │

│ │ │ │ URL starting with "https://". │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ The special value "none" is │
│ │ │ │ allowed to indicate that no MUD │
│ │ │ │ URL is used. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ If the per-profile value is │
│ │ │ │ unspecified (the default), a │
│ │ │ │ global connection default gets │
│ │ │ │ consulted. If still unspecified, │
│ │ │ │ the ultimate default is "none". │
├──────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────┼───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤

├──────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────┼───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤
│permissions │ array of string │ │ An array of strings defining what │

│ │ │ │ empty, all users are allowed to │
│ │ │ │ access this connection; otherwise │
│ │ │ │ users are allowed if and only if │
│ │ │ │ they are in this list. When this │
│ │ │ │ is not empty, the connection can │
│ │ │ │ be active only when one of the │
│ │ │ │ specified users is logged into an │
│ │ │ │ active session. Each entry is of │
│ │ │ │ the form │
│ │ │ │ "[type]:[id]:[reserved]"; for │
│ │ │ │ example, "user:dcbw:blah". │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ At this time only the "user" │
│ │ │ │ [type] is allowed. Any other │
│ │ │ │ values are ignored and reserved │
│ │ │ │ for future use. [id] is the │

│ │ │ │ refers to, which may not contain │
│ │ │ │ the ":" character. Any [reserved] │
│ │ │ │ information present must be │
│ │ │ │ ignored and is reserved for │

├──────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────┼───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤
│slave-type │ string │ │ Setting name of the device type │
│ │ │ │ of this slave's master connection │
│ │ │ │ (eg, "bond"), or NULL if this │
│ │ │ │ connection is not a slave. │
├──────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────┼───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤
│stable-id │ string │ │ This represents the identity of │
│ │ │ │ the connection used for various │
│ │ │ │ purposes. It allows to configure │
│ │ │ │ multiple profiles to share the │
│ │ │ │ identity. Also, the stable-id can │
│ │ │ │ contain placeholders that are │
│ │ │ │ substituted dynamically and │
│ │ │ │ deterministically depending on │
│ │ │ │ the context. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ The stable-id is used for │
│ │ │ │ generating IPv6 stable private │
│ │ │ │ addresses with │
│ │ │ │ ipv6.addr-gen-mode=stable-privacy. │
│ │ │ │ It is also used to seed the │
│ │ │ │ generated cloned MAC address for │
│ │ │ │ ethernet.cloned-mac-address=stable │
│ │ │ │ and │
│ │ │ │ wifi.cloned-mac-address=stable. │
│ │ │ │ It is also used as DHCP client │
│ │ │ │ identifier with │
│ │ │ │ ipv4.dhcp-client-id=stable and to │
│ │ │ │ derive the DHCP DUID with │
│ │ │ │ ipv6.dhcp-duid=stable-[llt,ll,uuid]. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ Note that depending on the │
│ │ │ │ context where it is used, other │
│ │ │ │ parameters are also seeded into │
│ │ │ │ the generation algorithm. For │
│ │ │ │ example, a per-host key is │
│ │ │ │ commonly also included, so that │
│ │ │ │ different systems end up │
│ │ │ │ generating different IDs. Or with │
│ │ │ │ ipv6.addr-gen-mode=stable-privacy, │
│ │ │ │ also the device's name is │
│ │ │ │ included, so that different │
│ │ │ │ interfaces yield different │
│ │ │ │ addresses. The per-host key is │
│ │ │ │ the identity of your machine and │
│ │ │ │ stored in │
│ │ │ │ /var/lib/NetworkManager/secret_key. │
│ │ │ │ See NetworkManager(8) manual │
│ │ │ │ about the secret-key and the host │
│ │ │ │ identity. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ The '$' character is treated │
│ │ │ │ special to perform dynamic │
│ │ │ │ substitutions at runtime. │
│ │ │ │ Currently, supported are │
│ │ │ │ "${CONNECTION}", "${DEVICE}", │
│ │ │ │ "${MAC}", "${BOOT}", "${RANDOM}". │
│ │ │ │ These effectively create unique │
│ │ │ │ IDs per-connection, per-device, │
│ │ │ │ per-boot, or every time. Note │
│ │ │ │ that "${DEVICE}" corresponds to │
│ │ │ │ the interface name of the device │
│ │ │ │ and "${MAC}" is the permanent MAC │
│ │ │ │ address of the device. Any │
│ │ │ │ unrecognized patterns following │
│ │ │ │ '$' are treated verbatim, however │
│ │ │ │ are reserved for future use. You │
│ │ │ │ are thus advised to avoid '$' or │
│ │ │ │ escape it as "$$". For example, │
│ │ │ │ set it to │
│ │ │ │ "${CONNECTION}-${BOOT}-${DEVICE}" │
│ │ │ │ to create a unique id for this │
│ │ │ │ connection that changes with │
│ │ │ │ every reboot and differs │
│ │ │ │ depending on the interface where │
│ │ │ │ the profile activates. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ If the value is unset, a global │
│ │ │ │ connection default is consulted. │
│ │ │ │ If the value is still unset, the │
│ │ │ │ default is similar to │
│ │ │ │ "${CONNECTION}" and uses a │
│ │ │ │ unique, fixed ID for the │
│ │ │ │ connection. │

├──────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────┼───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤
│uuid │ string │ │ A universally unique identifier for │

│ │ │ │ generated with libuuid. It should │
│ │ │ │ be assigned when the connection is │
│ │ │ │ created, and never changed as long │
│ │ │ │ as the connection still applies to │
│ │ │ │ the same network. For example, it │
│ │ │ │ should not be changed when the "id" │
│ │ │ │ property or NMSettingIP4Config │
│ │ │ │ changes, but might need to be │
│ │ │ │ re-created when the Wi-Fi SSID, │
│ │ │ │ mobile broadband network provider, │
│ │ │ │ or "type" property changes. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ The UUID must be in the format │

│dns-priority │ int32 │ 0 │ DNS servers priority. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ The relative priority for DNS servers │
│ │ │ │ specified by this setting. A lower │
│ │ │ │ numerical value is better (higher │
│ │ │ │ priority). │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ Negative values have the special │
│ │ │ │ effect of excluding other │
│ │ │ │ configurations with a greater │
│ │ │ │ numerical priority value; so in │
│ │ │ │ presence of at least one negative │
│ │ │ │ priority, only DNS servers from │
│ │ │ │ connections with the lowest priority │
│ │ │ │ value will be used. To avoid all DNS │
│ │ │ │ leaks, set the priority of the profile │
│ │ │ │ that should be used to the most │
│ │ │ │ negative value of all active │
│ │ │ │ connections profiles. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ Zero selects a globally configured │
│ │ │ │ default value. If the latter is │
│ │ │ │ missing or zero too, it defaults to 50 │
│ │ │ │ for VPNs (including WireGuard) and 100 │
│ │ │ │ for other connections. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ Note that the priority is to order │
│ │ │ │ DNS settings for multiple active │
│ │ │ │ connections. It does not disambiguate │
│ │ │ │ multiple DNS servers within the same │
│ │ │ │ connection profile. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ When multiple devices have │
│ │ │ │ configurations with the same priority, │
│ │ │ │ VPNs will be considered first, then │
│ │ │ │ devices with the best (lowest metric) │
│ │ │ │ default route and then all other │
│ │ │ │ devices. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ When using dns=default, servers with │
│ │ │ │ higher priority will be on top of │
│ │ │ │ resolv.conf. To prioritize a given │
│ │ │ │ server over another one within the │
│ │ │ │ same connection, just specify them in │
│ │ │ │ the desired order. Note that commonly │
│ │ │ │ the resolver tries name servers in │
│ │ │ │ /etc/resolv.conf in the order listed, │
│ │ │ │ proceeding with the next server in the │
│ │ │ │ list on failure. See for example the │
│ │ │ │ "rotate" option of the dns-options │
│ │ │ │ setting. If there are any negative DNS │
│ │ │ │ priorities, then only name servers │
│ │ │ │ from the devices with that lowest │
│ │ │ │ priority will be considered. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ When using a DNS resolver that │
│ │ │ │ supports Conditional Forwarding or │
│ │ │ │ Split DNS (with dns=dnsmasq or │
│ │ │ │ dns=systemd-resolved settings), each │
│ │ │ │ connection is used to query domains in │
│ │ │ │ its search list. The search domains │
│ │ │ │ determine which name servers to ask, │
│ │ │ │ and the DNS priority is used to │
│ │ │ │ prioritize name servers based on the │
│ │ │ │ domain. Queries for domains not │
│ │ │ │ present in any search list are routed │
│ │ │ │ through connections having the '~.' │
│ │ │ │ special wildcard domain, which is │
│ │ │ │ added automatically to connections │
│ │ │ │ with the default route (or can be │
│ │ │ │ added manually). When multiple │
│ │ │ │ connections specify the same domain, │
│ │ │ │ the one with the best priority (lowest │
│ │ │ │ numerical value) wins. If a sub │
│ │ │ │ domain is configured on another │
│ │ │ │ interface it will be accepted │
│ │ │ │ regardless the priority, unless parent │
│ │ │ │ domain on the other interface has a │
│ │ │ │ negative priority, which causes the │
│ │ │ │ sub domain to be shadowed. With Split │
│ │ │ │ DNS one can avoid undesired DNS leaks │
│ │ │ │ by properly configuring DNS priorities │
│ │ │ │ and the search domains, so that only │
│ │ │ │ name servers of the desired interface │
│ │ │ │ are configured. │
├─────────────────────────────┼───────────────────┼───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤
│dns-search │ array of string │ │ List of DNS search domains. Domains │
│ │ │ │ starting with a tilde ('~') are │
│ │ │ │ considered 'routing' domains and are │
│ │ │ │ used only to decide the interface over │
│ │ │ │ which a query must be forwarded; they │
│ │ │ │ are not used to complete unqualified │
│ │ │ │ host names. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ When using a DNS plugin that supports │
│ │ │ │ Conditional Forwarding or Split DNS, │
│ │ │ │ then the search domains specify which │
│ │ │ │ name servers to query. This makes the │
│ │ │ │ behavior different from running with │
│ │ │ │ plain /etc/resolv.conf. For more │
│ │ │ │ information see also the dns-priority │
│ │ │ │ setting. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ When set on a profile that also │
│ │ │ │ enabled DHCP, the DNS search list │
│ │ │ │ received automatically (option 119 for │
│ │ │ │ DHCPv4 and option 24 for DHCPv6) gets │
│ │ │ │ merged with the manual list. This can │
│ │ │ │ be prevented by setting │

│ │ │ │ is to configure the default route │
│ │ │ │ explicitly with a manual route and /0 │
│ │ │ │ as prefix length. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ Note that the gateway usually │
│ │ │ │ conflicts with routing that │
│ │ │ │ NetworkManager configures for │

│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ In general, for the "auto" method, │
│ │ │ │ properties such as "dns" and "routes" │
│ │ │ │ specify information that is added on │

│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ For methods that imply no upstream │

│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ For IPv4 method "shared", the IP │

│required-timeout │ int32 │ -1 │ The minimum time interval in │

│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ This property is useful for example │
│ │ │ │ if both IPv4 and IPv6 are enabled and │
│ │ │ │ are allowed to fail. Normally the │
│ │ │ │ connection succeeds as soon as one of │
│ │ │ │ the two address families completes; by │
│ │ │ │ setting a required timeout for e.g. │
│ │ │ │ IPv4, one can ensure that even if IP6 │
│ │ │ │ succeeds earlier than IPv4, │
│ │ │ │ NetworkManager waits some time for │
│ │ │ │ IPv4 before the connection becomes │
│ │ │ │ active. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ Note that if "may-fail" is FALSE for │
│ │ │ │ the same address family, this property │
│ │ │ │ has no effect as NetworkManager needs │
│ │ │ │ to wait for the full DHCP timeout. │
│ │ │ │ │

├─────────────────────────────┼───────────────────┼───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤
│route-metric │ int64 │ -1 │ The default metric for routes that │

│ │ │ │ dynamic routes, manual (static) routes │
│ │ │ │ that don't have an explicit metric │
│ │ │ │ setting, address prefix routes, and │
│ │ │ │ the default route. Note that for IPv6, │
│ │ │ │ the kernel accepts zero (0) but │
│ │ │ │ coerces it to 1024 (user default). │
│ │ │ │ Hence, setting this property to zero │
│ │ │ │ effectively mean setting it to 1024. │

│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ Policy routing disabled means that │

│dns-priority │ int32 │ 0 │ DNS servers priority. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ The relative priority for DNS servers specified by │

│ │ │ │ (higher priority). │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ Negative values have the special effect of │
│ │ │ │ excluding other configurations with a greater │
│ │ │ │ numerical priority value; so in presence of at least │
│ │ │ │ one negative priority, only DNS servers from │
│ │ │ │ connections with the lowest priority value will be │
│ │ │ │ used. To avoid all DNS leaks, set the priority of │
│ │ │ │ the profile that should be used to the most negative │
│ │ │ │ value of all active connections profiles. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ Zero selects a globally configured default value. │
│ │ │ │ If the latter is missing or zero too, it defaults to │
│ │ │ │ 50 for VPNs (including WireGuard) and 100 for other │
│ │ │ │ connections. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ Note that the priority is to order DNS settings for │
│ │ │ │ multiple active connections. It does not │
│ │ │ │ disambiguate multiple DNS servers within the same │
│ │ │ │ connection profile. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ When multiple devices have configurations with the │
│ │ │ │ same priority, VPNs will be considered first, then │
│ │ │ │ devices with the best (lowest metric) default route │
│ │ │ │ and then all other devices. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ When using dns=default, servers with higher │
│ │ │ │ priority will be on top of resolv.conf. To │
│ │ │ │ prioritize a given server over another one within │
│ │ │ │ the same connection, just specify them in the │
│ │ │ │ desired order. Note that commonly the resolver tries │
│ │ │ │ name servers in /etc/resolv.conf in the order │
│ │ │ │ listed, proceeding with the next server in the list │
│ │ │ │ on failure. See for example the "rotate" option of │
│ │ │ │ the dns-options setting. If there are any negative │
│ │ │ │ DNS priorities, then only name servers from the │
│ │ │ │ devices with that lowest priority will be │
│ │ │ │ considered. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ When using a DNS resolver that supports Conditional │
│ │ │ │ Forwarding or Split DNS (with dns=dnsmasq or │
│ │ │ │ dns=systemd-resolved settings), each connection is │
│ │ │ │ used to query domains in its search list. The search │
│ │ │ │ domains determine which name servers to ask, and the │
│ │ │ │ DNS priority is used to prioritize name servers │
│ │ │ │ based on the domain. Queries for domains not │
│ │ │ │ present in any search list are routed through │
│ │ │ │ connections having the '~.' special wildcard domain, │
│ │ │ │ which is added automatically to connections with the │
│ │ │ │ default route (or can be added manually). When │
│ │ │ │ multiple connections specify the same domain, the │
│ │ │ │ one with the best priority (lowest numerical value) │
│ │ │ │ wins. If a sub domain is configured on another │
│ │ │ │ interface it will be accepted regardless the │
│ │ │ │ priority, unless parent domain on the other │
│ │ │ │ interface has a negative priority, which causes the │
│ │ │ │ sub domain to be shadowed. With Split DNS one can │
│ │ │ │ avoid undesired DNS leaks by properly configuring │
│ │ │ │ DNS priorities and the search domains, so that only │
│ │ │ │ name servers of the desired interface are │
│ │ │ │ configured. │

│ │ │ │ unqualified host names. │
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ When using a DNS plugin that supports Conditional │

│ │ │ │ ampersand (&). The former │
│ │ │ │ means that the element is │

│ │ │ │ can also be inverted with │
│ │ │ │ exclamation mark (!) between │
│ │ │ │ the pipe symbol (or the │
│ │ │ │ ampersand) and before the │
│ │ │ │ pattern. Note that "!foo" is │

│ │ │ │ backslash can be used at the │
│ │ │ │ beginning of the element │
│ │ │ │ (after the optional special │

│ │ │ │ will set the OUI of │

Secret flag types:
Each password or secret property in a setting has an associated flags property that
describes how to handle that secret. The flags property is a bitfield that contains zero
or more of the following values logically OR-ed together.
• 0x0 (none) - the system is responsible for providing and storing this secret. This may
be required so that secrets are already available before the user logs in. It also
commonly means that the secret will be stored in plain text on disk, accessible to
root only. For example via the keyfile settings plugin as described in the "PLUGINS"
section in NetworkManager.conf(5).
• 0x1 (agent-owned) - a user-session secret agent is responsible for providing and
storing this secret; when it is required, agents will be asked to provide it.
• 0x2 (not-saved) - this secret should not be saved but should be requested from the
user each time it is required. This flag should be used for One-Time-Pad secrets, PIN
codes from hardware tokens, or if the user simply does not want to save the secret.
• 0x4 (not-required) - in some situations it cannot be automatically determined that a
secret is required or not. This flag hints that the secret is not required and should
not be requested from the user.
