Hello, I was playing with the externally managed concept and I experienced the following : modifying an autocreated/autoconnected profile corresponding to an externally managed device seems to be (silently) auto-reapplied. Afterward, once NetworkManager takes over (and really manages the device), everything is back to normal. Is this a legit/normal situation ? Ex : # ip address add 192.168.10.200/24 dev eth1 # nmcli connexion modify eth1 802-3-ethernet.mtu 9000 # ip addr shows eth1 has changed its mtu for 9000, no device reapplied or connexion up has been needed and no message (as in nmcli device modify) telling anything has been reapplied. My guess is that's normal since telling a profile has been reapplied would imply that de device is (normally) managed...Since behavior surprised me.
hi, yes, that is suprising and inconsistent. I wrote about that here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1616363#c3 best, Thomas
