Change the state of iface from disconnected to connected using nmcli

[Abhijeet Rastogi <abhijeet 1989 gmail com>]

Hi,

This is my first post here. I have tried googling and looking at the manpage but no help. 

We can use 

$nmcli dev disconnect iface eth0

to change the state of eth0 to disconnect. Is there a command to change it's state back to connected? I tried looking at the manpage & I can't seem to find  any option for that.

I did a comprehensive as to why I want this here. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1073943

Please have a look. 

Thanks
