Description

Objects that implement the Connection.Active interface represent an attempt to connect to a network using the details provided by a Connection object. The Connection.Active object tracks the life-cycle of the connection attempt and if successful indicates whether the connected network is the "default" or preferred network for access. NetworkManager has the concept of connections, which can be thought of as settings, a profile or a configuration that can be applied on a networking device. Such settings-connections are exposed as D-Bus object and the active-connection expresses this relationship between device and settings-connection. At any time a settings-connection can only be activated on one device and vice versa. However, during activation and deactivation multiple active-connections can reference the same device or settings-connection as they are waiting to be activated or to be deactivated.

Signal Details

The "StateChanged" signal

StateChanged (u state,
              u reason);

Emitted when the state of the active connection has changed.

Since: 1.8

u reason:

(NMActiveConnectionStateReason) Reason code describing the change to the new state.

Property Details

The "Connection" property

Connection  readable   o

The path of the connection.


The "SpecificObject" property

SpecificObject  readable   o

A specific object associated with the active connection. This property reflects the specific object used during connection activation, and will not change over the lifetime of the ActiveConnection once set.


The "Id" property

Id  readable   s

The ID of the connection, provided as a convenience so that clients do not have to retrieve all connection details.


The "Uuid" property

Uuid  readable   s

The UUID of the connection, provided as a convenience so that clients do not have to retrieve all connection details.


The "Type" property

Type  readable   s

The type of the connection, provided as a convenience so that clients do not have to retrieve all connection details.


The "Devices" property

Devices  readable   ao

Array of object paths representing devices which are part of this active connection.


The "State" property

State  readable   u

The state of this active connection.

Returns: NMActiveConnectionState


The "StateFlags" property

StateFlags  readable   u

The state flags of this active connection.

Returns: NMActivationStateFlags


The "Default" property

Default  readable   b

Whether this active connection is the default IPv4 connection, i.e. whether it currently owns the default IPv4 route.


The "Ip4Config" property

Ip4Config  readable   o

Object path of the Ip4Config object describing the configuration of the connection. Only valid when the connection is in the NM_ACTIVE_CONNECTION_STATE_ACTIVATED state.


The "Dhcp4Config" property

Dhcp4Config  readable   o

Object path of the Dhcp4Config object describing the DHCP options returned by the DHCP server (assuming the connection used DHCP). Only valid when the connection is in the NM_ACTIVE_CONNECTION_STATE_ACTIVATED state.


The "Default6" property

Default6  readable   b

Whether this active connection is the default IPv6 connection, i.e. whether it currently owns the default IPv6 route.


The "Ip6Config" property

Ip6Config  readable   o

Object path of the Ip6Config object describing the configuration of the connection. Only valid when the connection is in the NM_ACTIVE_CONNECTION_STATE_ACTIVATED state.


The "Dhcp6Config" property

Dhcp6Config  readable   o

Object path of the Dhcp6Config object describing the DHCP options returned by the DHCP server (assuming the connection used DHCP). Only valid when the connection is in the NM_ACTIVE_CONNECTION_STATE_ACTIVATED state.


The "Vpn" property
