This example demonstrates adding a bond master connection and two slaves\&. The first command adds a master bond connection, naming the bonding interface
\fImybond0\fR
and using
\fIactive\-backup\fR
mode\&. The next two commands add slaves connections, both enslaved to
\fImybond0\fR\&. The first slave will be bound to

.fi
.if n \{\
.RE

.PP
This example demonstrates adding a team master connection profile and two slaves\&. It is very similar to the bonding example\&. The first command adds a master team profile, naming the team interface and the profile
\fITeam1\fR\&. The team configuration for the master is read from
\fIteam1\-master\-json\&.conf\fR
file\&. Later, you can change the configuration with
\fImodify\fR
command (\fBnmcli con modify Team1 team\&.config team1\-master\-another\-json\&.conf\fR)\&. The last two commands add slaves profiles, both enslaved to
\fITeam1\fR\&. The first slave will be bound to
\fIem1\fR
interface, the second to
\fIem2\fR\&. The slaves don\*(Aqt specify
\fIconfig\fR
and thus
\fIteamd\fR
will use its default configuration\&. You will activate the whole setup by activating both slaves:

  $ \fBnmcli con up Team1\-slave1\fR
  $ \fBnmcli con up Team1\-slave2\fR
.fi

By default, the created profiles are marked for auto\-activation\&. But if another connection has been activated on the device, the new profile won\*(Aqt activate automatically and you need to activate it manually\&.

This example demonstrates adding a bridge master connection and two slaves\&. The first command adds a master bridge connection, naming the bridge interface and the profile as
\fITowerBridge\fR\&. The next two commands add slaves profiles, both will be enslaved to
\fITowerBridge\fR\&. The first slave will be tied to
\fIens3\fR
interface, the second to
\fIens4\fR\&. The last command will disable 802\&.1D STP for the TowerBridge profile\&.

.if n \{\

.PP
The first command adds an Ethernet connection profile named
\fImy\-con\-em1\fR
that is bound to interface name
\fIem1\fR\&. The profile is configured with static IP addresses\&. Three addresses are added, two IPv4 addresses and one IPv6\&. The first IP 192\&.168\&.100\&.100 has a prefix of 24 (netmask equivalent of 255\&.255\&.255\&.0)\&. Gateway entry will become the default route if this profile is activated on em1 interface (and there is no connection with higher priority)\&. The next two addresses do not specify a prefix, so a default prefix will be used, i\&.e\&. 32 for IPv4 and 128 for IPv6\&. The second, third and fourth commands modify DNS parameters of the new connection profile\&. The last
\fIcon show\fR
command displays the profile so that all parameters can be reviewed\&.

Array of IP addresses\&.

[nmcli specific description]
Enter a list of IPv4 addresses formatted as:
  ip[/prefix], ip[/prefix],\&.\&.\&.
Missing prefix is regarded as prefix of 32\&.

Example: 192\&.168\&.1\&.5/24, 10\&.0\&.0\&.11/24
