Hi, I need some help porting an ifcfg-ppp0 config from my old internet gateway which was running to Fedora 16 to my new internet gateway which is running F31. Running "ifup ppp0" gives a message saying that this is deprecated and I should switch to NM. Unfortunately, I can't work out how to configure NM to do this. I can see options for connections of ppp, (a)dsl and pppoe type, but I seem to need some combination of these and that does not appear to be possible to configure with nmcli, plus some pppd options (such as "ipv6" and "holdoff") that aren't listed in the documentation. My (redacted) config is below.

Hi,
this should create a connection mostly equivalent to your
configuration:
nmcli connection add \
type pppoe ifname ppp0 pppoe.parent enp4s0 \
pppoe.user $myuser pppoe.password $mypw \
ppp.mru 1492 ppp.mtu 1492 \
ppp.lcp-echo-interval 1 ppp.lcp-echo-failure 120 \
ipv4.address $myip
'man nm-settings' shows all the properties supported by NM. I don't
think "holdoff 1" is needed as NM always waits some seconds before
reinitiating the connection. Also, I'm not sure IPv6 is supported. You
could try adding 'ipv6.method manual ipv6.addresses $myip6' but it
doesn't seem possible to specify a peer address.
Note that the connection has 'autoconnect yes' by default and so it is
started automatically at boot. If you want to activate it manually,
you should also set 'autoconnect no', and then control it with:
nmcli connection {up|down} pppoe-ppp0
