You usually need to do a full re- activation for the changes to take effect (`nmcli connection up`).Oh yes, I was confusing device and connection modify, sorry. Though what you said above just makes me think about the connection reload command. Granted you're not supposed to manually edit connection files but my understanding and experience is that if you do and then nmcli connection reload, you still have to reactivate the connection with nmcli connection up. So I don't quite understand the use of reloading ?
Hi, reload (and `nmcli connection load $FILENAME`) load all (or one) profiles from disk. This is useful if you edited the profile files (/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections, or /etc/sysconfig/network- scripts/ifcfg-*). Reload can also delete profiles (if it delete a file that was previously loaded). It's really not much different than adding/modifying/deleting profiles via `nmcli` or GUI. best, Thomas
