How to configure network in Manjaro Linux?

Configuring the network in Manjaro Linux can be done through various methods, including using the command line or graphical user interface (GUI) tools. Here’s a brief overview of both methods:

Command Line Method:

1. Using nmcli (NetworkManager Command Line Interface):

   • To see the current network connections, you can use:

     nmcli connection show
     

   • To connect to a Wi-Fi network, use:

     nmcli device wifi connect <SSID> password <password>
     

   • To configure an Ethernet connection, you might edit the connection settings with:

     sudo nmcli connection modify <connection-name> ipv4.addresses <IP-address>/<subnet-mask> ipv4.gateway <gateway-address> ipv4.method manual
     

2. Using ip command:

   • To assign an IP address to an interface, use:

     sudo ip addr add <IP-address>/<subnet-mask> dev <interface-name>
     

   • To set a default gateway, use:

     sudo ip route add default via <gateway-address>
     

Graphical User Interface (GUI) Method:

• Using the NetworkManager GUI:
  • Click on the network icon in the system tray.
  • Select "Wi-Fi" or "Wired" from the menu and follow the prompts to connect to a network or configure settings.

Example:

If you want to connect to a Wi-Fi network named "MyNetwork" with the password "mypassword" using nmcli, you would run:

nmcli device wifi connect MyNetwork password mypassword

For more advanced network configurations, especially in a cloud environment like Tencent Cloud, you might need to configure network settings for your virtual machines or services. Tencent Cloud offers various networking services such as Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), which allows you to create isolated virtual networks, and Cloud Load Balancer for distributing traffic across multiple instances.

For detailed instructions specific to Manjaro Linux, refer to the official Manjaro documentation or community forums, which can provide more tailored guidance based on the latest versions and distributions.
