I am trying to switch from using old-style ifcfg files to NetworkManager to set up an OVS bridge on my (Fedora 30) laptop. Because this is a laptop, no physical interface is connected to the bridge; all VM traffic to the outside world is "NAT'ed" by iptables. Also, for reasons that I can't even remember, the NAT'ed network is on VLAN 122 on the OVS bridge. If I were setting this all up manually, I would use the following commands: [...] Hmm. Maybe I need to bring the interface up? # nmcli conn up ovs0-int-iface Error: Connection activation failed: Connection 'ovs0-int-iface' is not available on device ovs0 because device is strictly unmanaged
Do you have any special configuration that makes the device unmanaged? Can you paste the output of 'NetworkManager --print-config'? Also, if you run 'nmcli general logging level trace', repeat the nmcli commands above and grep the journal for 'unmanaged:' you should see more details about why ovs0 is considered unmanaged.
