Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and CentOS 7 default network services provided by NetworkManager, which is the guardian of the process control and dynamic configuration of the network, which is used to keep the current network equipment and connection in working condition, but also supports the traditional type of configuration ifcfg file.
NetworkManager can be used for the following types of connections: Ethernet, VLANS, Bridges, Bonds, Teams, Wi-Fi, mobile boradband (mobile 3G) and IP-over-InfiniBand. For these types of networks, NetworkManager can configure their network aliases, IP address, static routing, DNS, VPN connections, and many other special parameters.
You can use the command-line tool to control nmcli NetworkManager.
