Setting name: '802-1x'

Key Name	Value Type	Default Value	Value Description
name	string	802-1x	The setting's name; these names are defined by the specification and cannot be changed after the object has been created. Each setting class has a name, and all objects of that class share the same name.
eap	array of string	[]	The allowed EAP method to be used when authenticating to the network with 802.1x. Valid methods are: 'leap', 'md5', 'tls', 'peap', 'ttls', and 'fast'. Each method requires different configuration using the properties of this setting; refer to wpa_supplicant documentation for the allowed combinations.
identity	string		Identity string for EAP authentication methods. Often the user's user or login name.
anonymous-identity	string		Anonymous identity string for EAP authentication methods. Used as the unencrypted identity with EAP types that support different tunneled identity like EAP-TTLS.
ca-cert	byte array	[]	Contains the CA certificate if used by the EAP method specified in the 'eap' property. Certificate data is specified using a 'scheme'; two are currently supported: blob and path. When using the blob scheme (which is backwards compatible with NM 0.7.x) this property should be set to the certificate's DER encoded data. When using the path scheme, this property should be set to the full UTF-8 encoded path of the certificate, prefixed with the string 'file://' and ending with a terminating NULL byte. This property can be unset even if the EAP method supports CA certificates, but this allows man-in-the-middle attacks and is NOT recommended.
ca-path	string		UTF-8 encoded path to a directory containing PEM or DER formatted certificates to be added to the verification chain in addition to the certificate specified in the 'ca-cert' property.
subject-match	string		Substring to be matched against the subject of the certificate presented by the authentication server. When unset, no verification of the authentication server certificate's subject is performed.
altsubject-matches	array of string	[]	List of strings to be matched against the altSubjectName of the certificate presented by the authentication server. If the list is empty, no verification of the server certificate's altSubjectName is performed.
client-cert	byte array	[]	Contains the client certificate if used by the EAP method specified in the 'eap' property. Certificate data is specified using a 'scheme'; two are currently supported: blob and path. When using the blob scheme (which is backwards compatible with NM 0.7.x) this property should be set to the certificate's DER encoded data.

phase1-peapver	string		Forces which PEAP version is used when PEAP is set as the EAP method in 'eap' property. When unset, the version reported by the server will be used. Sometimes when using older RADIUS servers, it is necessary to force the client to use a particular PEAP version. To do so, this property may be set to '0' or '1; to force that specific PEAP version.
phase1-peaplabel	string		Forces use of the new PEAP label during key derivation. Some RADIUS servers may require forcing the new PEAP label to interoperate with PEAPv1. Set to '1' to force use of the new PEAP label. See the wpa_supplicant documentation for more details.
phase1-fast-provisioning	string		Enables or disables in-line provisioning of EAP-FAST credentials when FAST is specified as the EAP method in the #NMSetting8021x:eap property. Allowed values are '0' (disabled), '1' (allow unauthenticated provisioning), '2' (allow authenticated provisioning), and '3' (allow both authenticated and unauthenticated provisioning). See the wpa_supplicant documentation for more details.
phase2-auth	string		Specifies the allowed 'phase 2' inner non-EAP authentication methods when an EAP method that uses an inner TLS tunnel is specified in the 'eap' property. Recognized non-EAP phase2 methods are 'pap', 'chap', 'mschap', 'mschapv2', 'gtc', 'otp', 'md5', and 'tls'. Each 'phase 2' inner method requires specific parameters for successful authentication; see the wpa_supplicant documentation for more details.

Setting name: 'bluetooth'

Key Name	Value Type	Default Value	Value Description
name	string	bluetooth	The setting's name; these names are defined by the specification and cannot be changed after the object has been created. Each setting class has a name, and all objects of that class share the same name.
bdaddr	byte array	[]	The Bluetooth address of the device
type	string		Either 'dun' for Dial-Up Networking connections or 'panu' for Personal Area Networking connections.

Setting name: 'cdma'

Key Name	Value Type	Default Value	Value Description

number	string		Number to dial when establishing a PPP data session with the CDMA-based mobile broadband network. If not specified, the default number (#777) is used when required.
username	string		Username used to authenticate with the network, if required. Note that many providers do not require a username or accept any username.
password	string		Password used to authenticate with the network, if required. Note that many providers do not require a password or accept any password.

Setting name: 'connection'

Key Name	Value Type	Default Value	Value Description
name	string	connection	The setting's name; these names are defined by the specification and cannot be changed after the object has been created. Each setting class has a name, and all objects of that class share the same name.
id	string		User-readable connection identifier/name. Must be one or more characters and may change over the lifetime of the connection if the user decides to rename it.
uuid	string		Universally unique connection identifier. Must be in the format '2815492f-7e56-435e-b2e9-246bd7cdc664' (ie, contains only hexadecimal characters and '-'). The UUID should be assigned when the connection is created and never changed as long as the connection still applies to the same network. For example, it should not be changed when the user changes the connection's 'id', but should be recreated when the WiFi SSID, mobile broadband network provider, or the connection type changes.
type	string		Base type of the connection. For hardware-dependent connections, should contain the setting name of the hardware-type specific setting (ie, '802-3-ethernet' or '802-11-wireless' or 'bluetooth', etc), and for non-hardware dependent connections like VPN or otherwise, should contain the setting name of that setting type (ie, 'vpn' or 'bridge', etc).
autoconnect	boolean	TRUE	If TRUE, NetworkManager will activate this connection when its network resources are available. If FALSE, the connection must be manually activated by the user or some other mechanism.
timestamp	uint64	0	Timestamp (in seconds since the Unix Epoch) that the connection was last successfully activated. Settings services should update the connection timestamp periodically when the connection is active to ensure that an active connection has the latest timestamp.
read-only	boolean	FALSE	If TRUE, the connection is read-only and cannot be changed by the user or any other mechanism. This is normally set for system connections whose plugin cannot yet write updated connections back out.

Setting name: 'gsm'

Key Name	Value Type	Default Value	Value Description
name	string	gsm	The setting's name; these names are defined by the specification and cannot be changed after the object has been created. Each setting class has a name, and all objects of that class share the same name.
number	string		Number to dial when establishing a PPP data session with the GSM-based mobile broadband network. Many modems do not require PPP for connections to the mobile network and thus this property should be left blank, which allows NetworkManager to select the appropriate settings automatically.
username	string		Username used to authenticate with the network, if required. Note that many providers do not require a username or accept any username.
password	string		Password used to authenticate with the network, if required. Note that many providers do not require a password or accept any password.
apn	string		The GPRS Access Point Name specifying the APN used when establishing a data session with the GSM-based network. The APN often determines how the user will be billed for their network usage and whether the user has access to the Internet or just a provider-specific walled-garden, so it is important to use the correct APN for the user's mobile broadband plan. The APN may only be composed of the characters a-z, 0-9, ., and - per GSM 03.60 Section 14.9.
network-id	string		The Network ID (GSM LAI format, ie MCC-MNC) to force specific network registration. If the Network ID is specified, NetworkManager will attempt to force the device to register only on the specified network. This can be used to ensure that the device does not roam when direct roaming control of the device is not otherwise possible.
network-type	int32	-1	Network preference to force the device to only use specific network technologies. The permitted values are: -1: any, 0: 3G only, 1: GPRS/EDGE only, 2: prefer 3G, and 3: prefer 2G. Note that not all devices allow network preference control.
band	int32	-1	Band (DEPRECATED and UNUSED)

Setting name: 'ipv4'

Key Name	Value Type	Default Value	Value Description
name	string	ipv4	The setting's name; these names are defined by the specification and cannot be changed after the object has been created. Each setting class has a name, and all objects of that class share the same name.
method	string		IPv4 configuration method. If 'auto' is specified then the appropriate automatic method (DHCP, PPP, etc) is used for the interface and most other properties can be left unset. If 'link-local' is specified, then a link-local address in the 169.254/16 range will be assigned to the interface. If 'manual' is specified, static IP addressing is used and at least one IP address must be given in the 'addresses' property. If 'shared' is specified (indicating that this connection will provide network access to other computers) then the interface is assigned an address in the 10.42.x.1/24 range and a DHCP and forwarding DNS server are started, and the interface is NAT-ed to the current default network connection. 'disabled' means IPv4 will not be used on this connection. This property must be set.
dns	array of uint32	[]	List of DNS servers (network byte order). For the 'auto' method, these DNS servers are appended to those (if any) returned by automatic configuration. DNS servers cannot be used with the 'shared', 'link-local', or 'disabled' methods as there is no usptream network. In all other methods, these DNS servers are used as the only DNS servers for this connection.
dns-search	array of string	[]	List of DNS search domains. For the 'auto' method, these search domains are appended to those returned by automatic configuration. Search domains cannot be used with the 'shared', 'link-local', or 'disabled' methods as there is no upstream network. In all other methods, these search domains are used as the only search domains for this connection.
addresses	array of array of uint32	[]	Array of IPv4 address structures. Each IPv4 address structure is composed of 3 32-bit values; the first being the IPv4 address (network byte order), the second the prefix (1 - 32), and last the IPv4 gateway (network byte order). The gateway may be left as 0 if no gateway exists for that subnet. For the 'auto' method, given IP addresses are appended to those returned by automatic configuration. Addresses cannot be used with the 'shared', 'link-local', or 'disabled' methods as addressing is either automatic or disabled with these methods.
routes	array of array of uint32	[]	Array of IPv4 route structures. Each IPv4 route structure is composed of 4 32-bit values; the first being the destination IPv4 network or address (network byte order), the second the destination network or address prefix (1 - 32), the third being the next-hop (network byte order) if any, and the fourth being the route metric. For the 'auto' method, given IP routes are appended to those returned by automatic configuration. Routes cannot be used with the 'shared', 'link-local', or 'disabled', methods as there is no upstream network.
ignore-auto-routes	boolean	FALSE	When the method is set to 'auto' and this property to TRUE, automatically configured routes are ignored and only routes specified in the 'routes' property, if any, are used.
ignore-auto-dns	boolean	FALSE	When the method is set to 'auto' and this property to TRUE, automatically configured nameservers and search domains are ignored and only nameservers and search domains specified in the 'dns' and 'dns-search' properties, if any, are used.
dhcp-client-id	string		A string sent to the DHCP server to identify the local machine which the DHCP server may use to cusomize the DHCP lease and options.
dhcp-send-hostname	boolean	TRUE	If TRUE, a hostname is sent to the DHCP server when acquiring a lease. Some DHCP servers use this hostname to update DNS databases, essentially providing a static hostname for the computer. If the 'dhcp-hostname' property is empty and this property is TRUE, the current persistent hostname of the computer is sent.
dhcp-hostname	string		If the 'dhcp-send-hostname' property is TRUE, then the specified name will be sent to the DHCP server when acquiring a lease.
never-default	boolean	FALSE	If TRUE, this connection will never be the default IPv4 connection, meaning it will never be assigned the default route by NetworkManager.
may-fail	boolean	FALSE	If TRUE, allow overall network configuration to proceed even if IPv4 configuration times out. Note that at least one IP configuration must succeed or overall network configuration will still fail. For example, in IPv6-only networks, setting this property to TRUE allows the overall network configuration to succeed if IPv4 configuration fails but IPv6 configuration completes successfully.

Setting name: 'ipv6'

Key Name	Value Type	Default Value	Value Description
name	string	ipv6	The setting's name; these names are defined by the specification and cannot be changed after the object has been created. Each setting class has a name, and all objects of that class share the same name.
method	string		IPv6 configuration method. If 'auto' is specified then the appropriate automatic method (PPP, router advertisement, etc) is used for the device and most other properties can be left unset. To force the use of DHCP only, specify 'dhcp'; this method is only valid for ethernet-based hardware. If 'link-local' is specified, then an IPv6 link-local address will be assigned to the interface. If 'manual' is specified, static IP addressing is used and at least one IP address must be given in the 'addresses' property. If 'ignored' is specified, IPv6 configuration is not done. This property must be set. NOTE: the 'shared' methodis not yet supported.
dns	array of byte array	[]	Array of DNS servers, where each member of the array is a byte array containing the IPv6 address of the DNS server (in network byte order). For the 'auto' method, these DNS servers are appended to those (if any) returned by automatic configuration. DNS servers cannot be used with the 'shared' or 'link-local' methods as there is no usptream network. In all other methods, these DNS servers are used as the only DNS servers for this connection.
dns-search	array of string	[]	List of DNS search domains. For the 'auto' method, these search domains are appended to those returned by automatic configuration. Search domains cannot be used with the 'shared' or 'link-local' methods as there is no upstream network. In all other methods, these search domains are used as the only search domains for this connection.
addresses	array of (byte array, uint32, byte array)	[]	Array of IPv6 address structures. Each IPv6 address structure is composed of 3 members, the first being a byte array containing the IPv6 address (network byte order), the second a 32-bit integer containing the IPv6 address prefix, and the third a byte array containing the IPv6 address (network byte order) of the gateway associated with this address, if any. If no gateway is given, the third element should be given as all zeros. For the 'auto' method, given IP addresses are appended to those returned by automatic configuration. Addresses cannot be used with the 'shared' or 'link-local' methods as the interface is automatically assigned an address with these methods.
routes	array of (byte array, uint32, byte array, uint32)	[]	Array of IPv6 route structures. Each IPv6 route structure is composed of 4 members; the first being the destination IPv6 network or address (network byte order) as a byte array, the second the destination network or address IPv6 prefix, the third being the next-hop IPv6 address (network byte order) if any, and the fourth being the route metric. For the 'auto' method, given IP routes are appended to those returned by automatic configuration. Routes cannot be used with the 'shared' or 'link-local' methods because there is no upstream network.
ignore-auto-routes	boolean	FALSE	When the method is set to 'auto' or 'dhcp' and this property is set to TRUE, automatically configured routes are ignored and only routes specified in the 'routes' property, if any, are used.
ignore-auto-dns	boolean	FALSE	When the method is set to 'auto' or 'dhcp' and this property is set to TRUE, automatically configured nameservers and search domains are ignored and only nameservers and search domains specified in the 'dns' and 'dns-search' properties, if any, are used.
never-default	boolean	FALSE	If TRUE, this connection will never be the default IPv6 connection, meaning it will never be assigned the default IPv6 route by NetworkManager.
may-fail	boolean	FALSE	If TRUE, allow overall network configuration to proceed even if IPv6 configuration times out. Note that at least one IP configuration must succeed or overall network configuration will still fail. For example, in IPv4-only networks, setting this property to TRUE allows the overall network configuration to succeed if IPv6 configuration fails but IPv4 configuration completes successfully.

Setting name: '802-11-olpc-mesh'

Key Name	Value Type	Default Value	Value Description

Like the 'mac-address' property for non-z/VM devices, this property can be used to ensure this connection only applies to the network device that uses these subchannels. The list should contain exactly 3 strings, and each string may only be composed of hexadecimal characters and the period (.) character.
s390-nettype	string		s390 network device type; one of 'qeth', 'lcs', or 'ctc', representing the different types of virtual network devices available on s390 systems.
s390-options	dict of (string::string)	[ ]	Dictionary of key/value pairs of s390-specific device options. Both keys and values must be strings. Allowed keys include 'portno', 'layer2', 'portname', 'protocol', among others.

Setting name: '802-11-wireless'

Key Name	Value Type	Default Value	Value Description
name	string	802-11-wireless	The setting's name; these names are defined by the specification and cannot be changed after the object has been created. Each setting class has a name, and all objects of that class share the same name.
ssid	byte array	[]	SSID of the WiFi network. Must be specified.
mode	string		WiFi network mode; one of 'infrastructure' or 'adhoc'. If blank, infrastructure is assumed.
band	string		802.11 frequency band of the network. One of 'a' for 5GHz 802.11a or 'bg' for 2.4GHz 802.11. This will lock associations to the WiFi network to the specific band, i.e. if 'a' is specified, the device will not associate with the same network in the 2.4GHz band even if the network's settings are compatible. This setting depends on specific driver capability and may not work with all drivers.
channel	uint32	0	Wireless channel to use for the WiFi connection. The device will only join (or create for Ad-Hoc networks) a WiFi network on the specified channel. Because channel numbers overlap between bands, this property also requires the 'band' property to be set.
bssid	byte array	[]	If specified, directs the device to only associate with the given access point. This capability is highly driver dependent and not supported by all devices. Note: this property does not control the BSSID used when creating an Ad-Hoc network and is unlikely to in the future.
rate	uint32	0	If non-zero, directs the device to only use the specified bitrate for communication with the access point. Units are in Kb/s, ie 5500 = 5.5 Mbit/s. This property is highly driver dependent and not all devices support setting a static bitrate.
tx-power	uint32	0	If non-zero, directs the device to use the specified transmit power. Units are dBm. This property is highly driver dependent and not all devices support setting a static transmit power.
mac-address	byte array	[]	If specified, this connection will only apply to the WiFi device whose permanent MAC address matches. This property does not change the MAC address of the device (i.e. MAC spoofing).
cloned-mac-address	byte array	[]	If specified, request that the WiFi device use this MAC address instead of its permanent MAC address. This is known as MAC cloning or spoofing.
mac-address-blacklist	array of string	[]	If specified, this connection will never apply to the WiFi device whose permanent MAC address matches an address in the list. Each MAC address is in the standard hex-digits-and-colons notation (00:11:22:33:44:55).
mtu	uint32	0	If non-zero, only transmit packets of the specified size or smaller, breaking larger packets up into multiple Ethernet frames.
seen-bssids	array of string	[]	A list of BSSIDs (each BSSID formatted as a MAC address like 00:11:22:33:44:55') that have been detected as part of the WiFI network. NetworkManager internally tracks previously seen BSSIDs so this property is no longer of much use.
security	string		If the wireless connection has any security restrictions, like 802.1x, WEP, or WPA, set this property to '802-11-wireless-security' and ensure the connection contains a valid 802-11-wireless-security setting.

Setting name: '802-11-wireless-security'

Key Name	Value Type	Default Value	Value Description
name	string	802-11-wireless-security	The setting's name; these names are defined by the specification and cannot be changed after the object has been created. Each setting class has a name, and all objects of that class share the same name.
key-mgmt	string		Key management used for the connection. One of 'none' (WEP), 'ieee8021x' (Dynamic WEP), 'wpa-none' (WPA-PSK Ad-Hoc), 'wpa-psk' (infrastructure WPA-PSK), or 'wpa-eap' (WPA-Enterprise). This property must be set for any WiFi connection that uses security.
wep-tx-keyidx	uint32	0	When static WEP is used (ie, key-mgmt = 'none') and a non-default WEP key index is used by the AP, put that WEP key index here. Valid values are 0 (default key) through 3. Note that some consumer access points (like the Linksys WRT54G) number the keys 1 - 4.
auth-alg	string		When WEP is used (ie, key-mgmt = 'none' or 'ieee8021x') indicate the 802.11 authentication algorithm required by the AP here. One of 'open' for Open System, 'shared' for Shared Key, or 'leap' for Cisco LEAP. When using Cisco LEAP (ie, key-mgmt = 'ieee8021x' and auth-alg = 'leap') the 'leap-username' and 'leap-password' properties must be specified.
proto	array of string	[]	List of strings specifying the allowed WPA protocol versions to use. Each element may be one 'wpa' (allow WPA) or 'rsn' (allow WPA2/RSN). If not specified, both WPA and RSN connections are allowed.
pairwise	array of string	[]	If specified, will only connect to WPA networks that provide the specified pairwise encryption capabilities. Each element may be one of 'wep40', 'wep104', 'tkip', or 'ccmp'.
group	array of string	[]	If specified, will only connect to WPA networks that provide the specified group/multicast encryption capabilities. Each element may be one of 'wep40', 'wep104', 'tkip', or 'ccmp'.
leap-username	string		The login username for legacy LEAP connections (ie, key-mgmt = 'ieee8021x' and auth-alg = 'leap').
wep-key0	string		Index 0 WEP key. This is the WEP key used in most networks. See the 'wep-key-type' property for a description of how this key is interpreted.
wep-key1	string		Index 1 WEP key. This WEP index is not used by most networks. See the 'wep-key-type' property for a description of how this key is interpreted.
wep-key2	string		Index 2 WEP key. This WEP index is not used by most networks. See the 'wep-key-type' property for a description of how this key is interpreted.
wep-key3	string		Index 3 WEP key. This WEP index is not used by most networks. See the 'wep-key-type' property for a description of how this key is interpreted.
psk	string		Pre-Shared-Key for WPA networks. If the key is 64-characters long, it must contain only hexadecimal characters and is interpreted as a hexadecimal WPA key. Otherwise, the key must be between 8 and 63 ASCII characters (as specified in the 802.11i standard) and is interpreted as a WPA passphrase, and is hashed to derive the actual WPA-PSK used when connecting to the WiFi network.
leap-password	string		The login password for legacy LEAP connections (ie, key-mgmt = 'ieee8021x' and auth-alg = 'leap').
wep-key-type	uint32	0	Controls the interpretation of WEP keys. Allowed values are 1 (interpret WEP keys as hexadecimal or ASCII keys) or 2 (interpret WEP keys as WEP Passphrases). If set to 1 and the keys are hexadecimal, they must be either 10 or 26 characters in length. If set to 1 and the keys are ASCII keys, they must be either 5 or 13 characters in length. If set to 2, the passphrase is hashed using the de-facto MD5 method to derive the actual WEP key.
