I've created two wired connections
* Wired Connection1
* Wired Connection2
Wired connection 1 is assigned a static IP address.
Wired connection 2 is set to get Dynamic IP automatically.
When I connected my system to LAN network through an ethernet cable, Wired is enabled (It displays connection in blue color). It has connected to Wired connection 1. But I want to switch to Wired connection 2. I don't see a way to switch these networks in Elementary OS.
Anybody have any idea?
What I do is to run the command
$ nmcli connection show
NAME UUID TYPE DEVICE
Wired1 49b2a5bb-3104-4d4d-a2d6-ec39d3d7c75c 802-3-ethernet enp0s25
Wireless1 420a1462-c582-430c-9acc-a326b900f8e5 802-11-wireless wlp3s0
It will show which connections are active. Then, if I want to switch my wired connection I run
$ nmcli device disconnect enp0s25
Device 'enp0s25' successfully disconnected.
Finally, I active another connection running
$ nmcli connection up Wired2
Connection successfully activated (D-Bus active path:
/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/12)
