.SH "NAME"
nm-settings \- Description of settings and properties of NetworkManager connection profiles
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
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
\fIsettings service\fR
and are exported on D\-Bus (\fI/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Settings/<num>\fR
objects)\&. The conceptual objects can be described as follows:
.PP
Connection (profile)
.RS 4
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
\fISettings\fR
objects\&.
.RE
.PP
Setting
.RS 4
A group of related key/value pairs describing a specific piece of a
\fIConnection (profile)\fR\&. 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
\fB*_class_init\fR
functions near the bottom of each setting source file\&.
.RE
.PP
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
\fInmcli\fR
that allows direct configuration of the settings and properties according to a connection profile type\&.
\fInmcli\fR
connection editor has also a built\-in
\fIdescribe\fR
command that can display description of particular settings and properties of this page\&.

Token to generate stable IDs for the connection\&. 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\&. Note that also the interface name of the activating connection and a per\-host secret key is included into the address generation so that the same stable\-id on different hosts/devices yields different addresses\&. If the value is unset, an ID unique for the connection is used\&. Specifing a stable\-id allows multiple connections to generate the same addresses\&. Another use is to generate IDs at runtime via dynamic substitutions\&. The \*(Aq$\*(Aq character is treated special to perform dynamic substitutions at runtime\&. Currently supported are "${CONNECTION}", "${BOOT}", "${RANDOM}"\&. These effectively create unique IDs per\-connection, per\-boot, or every time\&. Any unrecognized patterns following \*(Aq$\*(Aq are treated verbatim, however are reserved for future use\&. You are thus advised to avoid \*(Aq$\*(Aq or escape it as "$$"\&. For example, set it to "${CONNECTION}/${BOOT}" to create a unique id for this connection that changes with every reboot\&.

With "cloned\-mac\-address" setting "random" or "stable", by default all bits of the MAC address are scrambled and a locally\-administered, unicast MAC address is created\&. This property allows to specify that certain bits are fixed\&. Note that the least significant bit of the first MAC address will always be unset to create a unicast MAC address\&. If the property is NULL, it is eligible to be overwritten by a default connection setting\&. If the value is still NULL or an empty string, the default is to create a locally\-administered, unicast MAC address\&. If the value contains one MAC address, this address is used as mask\&. The set bits of the mask are to be filled with the current MAC address of the device, while the unset bits are subject to randomization\&. Setting "FE:FF:FF:00:00:00" means to preserve the OUI of the current MAC address and only randomize the lower 3 bytes using the "random" or "stable" algorithm\&. If the value contains one additional MAC address after the mask, this address is used instead of the current MAC address to fill the bits that shall not be randomized\&. For example, a value of "FE:FF:FF:00:00:00 68:F7:28:00:00:00" will set the OUI of the MAC address to 68:F7:28, while the lower bits are randomized\&. A value of "02:00:00:00:00:00 00:00:00:00:00:00" will create a fully scrambled globally\-administered, burned\-in MAC address\&. If the value contains more then one additional MAC addresses, one of them is chosen randomly\&. For example, "02:00:00:00:00:00 00:00:00:00:00:00 02:00:00:00:00:00" will create a fully scrambled MAC address, randomly locally or globally administered\&.
