Setup network parameters

Question:
Please create new network connection using provided values:

IP: some.ip.to.be.used/mask

Gateway: some.gateway.to.be.used

DNS server: some.dns.to.be.used

Interface: eth0

(scroll down for an answer)

Answer:
Issue following command (as one liner) to set connection data (we assume type is ethernet
connection as used interface is called eth0):

nmcli conn add conn-name MY_CONNECTION ifname eth0 type ethernet

ip4 SOME.IP.TO.BE.USED/mask
gw4 SOME.GATEWAY.TO.BE.USED

that command adds connection for specific interface - however we still need to add DNS
resolving. Notice [+] in the command - if used with + sign provided DNS will be added to the
list of DNS being used. If we omit + sign the whole list will be replaced by provided value:

nmcli conn modify MY_CONNECTION [+]ipv4.dns SOME.DNS.TO.BE.USED

nmcli conn mod MY_CONNECTION ipv4.ignore-auto-dns yes # to disable DHCP DNS

at the final stage it is wise to start this connection:

nmcli conn show --active # to check if the connection is not up

nmcli conn up MY_CONNECTION
nmcli conn show --active # to check if the connection is up

Additional comment:
It is possible to edit existing connection using nmtui tool which can be easier. Also when using GUI
there is also graphical interface for it.
