available Stable interface release to simplify network settings – NetworkManager 1.32.0 . plug-ins to support VPN, OpenConnect, PPTP, OpenVPN and OpenSWAN are developing within the framework of their own development cycles.
-bottomed innovations NetworkManager 1.32:
- is given the ability to select a firewall control beckend, for which a new option “[Main] .firewall-backend” has been added to NetworkManager.conf. By default, the “nftables” backend is set, and when there is no / usr / sbin / nft file in the system and is present / USR / SBIN / IPTABLES – iptables. In the future, it is planned to add another backend based on Firewalld. This feature can be used to configure the address translator using NFTables (previously used only IPTABLES) when the shared access profile is turned on.
- Added new options “Ethtool.pause-Autoneg”, “Ethtool.pause-RX” and “ETHTOOL.PAUSE-TX” to make delays when receiving or sending network Ethernet-frames. Added options correspond to similar modes in the ETHTOOL utility – “–pause devname [Autoneg ON | OFF] [Rx On | OFF] [TX ON | OFF].”
- Added parameter “Ethernet.accept-all-mac-addresses”, which allows you to translate a network adapter to “Promiscuous” mode, allowing you to analyze transit network frame, not addressed to the current system.
- is given the ability to perform reverse DNS requests to configure the host name based on the DNS name defined for the IP address issued by the system. The mode is activated using the HostName option in the profile. Earlier, the GetnameInfo () function was called to define the host name, which took into account the NSS configuration and the name specified in the / etc / hostname file (a new feature allows you to specify the name only based on the reverse zone resolution in the DNS). To query the host name via DNS, the SYSTEMD-Resolved API is now used, and if the SystemD does not use the ‘NM-Daemon-Helper’ handler based on the NSS module ‘DNS’.
- Added support for the types of routing rules “Prohibit”, “Blackhole” and “Unreachable”.
- changed the behavior regarding traffic management rules – by default NetworkManager now retains the QDiscs rules and filters of traffic.
- Mirroring NetworkManager wireless connections to the IWD configuration files are provided.
- Added support for DHCP Options 249 (Microsoft Classless Static Route).
- Added support for the “rd.net.dhcp.retry” kernel parameter that controls the request to the IP address update request.
