Layer 2 — what users think a network connection is.
A Connection joins a Link, its addresses, its
default-route gateway (with L2 status), its resolvers, and any
NetworkManager profile into one coherent unit. This is the primary public
surface: jip (no args) renders a list of these.
Structs§
- Access
Point - A nearby wifi access point from an NM scan.
- Connection
- A user-facing network connection: one link plus its interpreted state.
- Connection
Id - Stable identifier for a connection. When a NetworkManager profile is
present, this is the profile name (e.g.
"Wired connection 1"). Otherwise it is the link name. - Dhcp
Lease - Summary of the active DHCP lease on the IPv4 address.
- Gateway
- The L3 default-route next-hop plus its L2 ARP/ND state. Having both lets the diagnostician say “your route points at 192.168.1.1 but it’s not answering ARP” rather than just “unreachable”.
- Profile
- Metadata from NetworkManager (or any future connection manager).
- Wifi
Signal - Signal strength and rate information for an associated wifi BSS.
Enums§
- Family
- Address family.
- Medium
- What kind of connection this is from the user’s perspective.
- Virtual
Kind - Subtype of a virtual (
Medium::Virtual) link. - VpnKind
- Subtype of a VPN (
Medium::Vpn) link. - Wifi
Security - Security mode of the associated wifi BSS.
