nmcli con[nection] show

nmcli dev[ice] status

⁠Adding a Static Ethernet Connection

nmcli connection add type ethernet con-name <connection-name> ifname <interface-name> ip4 <address> gw4 <address>

Note that a connection with the same name exists, NetworkManager will add another one, so you will end up with two connections with the same name. It is best if the existing one is either deleted or edited.

Example:

mcli con del eth0
nmcli con add type ethernet con-name eth0 ifname eth0 ip4 172.30.0.4/16 gw4 172.30.0.1
