A few questions for the pro NM guys:
- How do you set up multiple IP/mask per interface?
- How do you set up trunking of multiple interfaces?
Do you mean bonding or bridging? Current NM supports bridges, although the UIs may lack the support.
Bonding was what I needed, thanks for the info on bridging.
- How do you set up priorized fail-over handling?
- How do you set up tap/tun nodes for vm / testing stuff?
I know how to do that with if-up but no plan for NM.
NM can make sense for a changing locations mobile device, but in fixed desktop / server environments it's not the answer to all questions.
I prefer it for a fixed desktop, because it makes it easy to connect to VPNs and configure multiple NICs. But for a server, ifup scripts have proved to be more reliable.
As I said not the answer to ALL questions. But yes, *changeing* WiFi / Bluethooth / VPN details is easier for GUI-users with NM. For static environments, fail-over stuff, bonding, multi-IP, etc ifup makes much more sense. Esp. for NAS+ (added services), routers or dedicated servers. IMHO for most laptops / tablets / mobile devices with wireless and/or otherwise changeing connections, NM will be better and easier to use than ifup. Does NM (now/13.1) have any continual and replecable success in handling GSM / UMTS / LTE modems (Cards, USB)/ connections ? I remember 12.1 NM as something unreliable there. - Yamaban. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
