How to connect to wifi using nmcli with a static IP address and password?












2















There is info on how to connect to ethernet(eth0) with nmcli using a static IP, but nothing on how to connect to wifi (wlan0)?

This sets up a connection profile but how to add the password and actually bring up the connection?



nmcli con add con-name "mySSID" ifname wlan0 type wifi ssid "mySSID" ip4 192.168.100.101

          NOTE: The following is only guaranteed to work with nmcli v1.22 (because that's what version I have), the latest is probably very similar but, in my case there's a random -- required; it is in the documentation specified for that command. Check your version with nmcli -v then check the specific documentation here >>Network Manager (after you click your version click the nmcli link)



          I.e., for Version 1.2



          nmcli con add con-name "&%TEST%&" type wifi ifname mlan0 ssid "&%SSIDNAME%&" -- wifi-sec.key-mgmt wpa-psk wifi-sec.psk "&%PASSPHRASE%&" ipv4.method manual ipv4.address 192.168.1.51/16 ipv4.dns 8.8.8.8,8.8.8.4 ipv4.gateway 192.168.1.1



          Then



          nmcli con up "&%TEST%&"



          However, it may be more wise to ignore the con-name because you can have multiple connections with the same name. (Luckily nmcli con delete "&%TEST%& deletes all of those at once!)



          You could use the uuid instead.



          find it by nmcli con show
          then connect using



          nmcli con up uuid 1c86c960-8533-11e7-bb31-be2e44b06b34
          (*your uuid will not be the same...)
