Hi there, I'm using a VPN client which creates its own TAP device. It brings the device up/down on connect/disconnect but doesn't handle DHCP or routing. You're expected to start dhclient on your own once the device is up.
I'd like NetworkManager to handle this. I managed to get the device adopted with: nmcli dev set vpn managed yes nmcli connection add type tun ifname vpn con-name vpn mode tap It immediately shows "connected" and starts dhclient. However, it doesn't respond to the device going offline. If I stop the connection: % ip link show vpn 5: vpn: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 And yet: % nmcli d show vpn GENERAL.TYPE: tun GENERAL.STATE: 100 (connected) And dhclient is still running, routes active, etc. Is there any way to get NetworkManager to respond to state changes on the TAP device? - Ron _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
