nmtui Creates a Copy of the ifcfg
by spellinator from LinuxQuestions.org on (#56882)
I've Googled this, but the answer I'm finding is a problem.
It says to activate the interface.
When I do that, it says it is already active.
If I deactivate, of course I lose connection.
I know I could do this from the console, but what if I'm remote.
Using nmtui on CentOS 7.
I've updated my settings.
In /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, I see that it has made a copy of the interface and added a "-1" suffix.

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 357 Jul 28 08:08 ifcfg-eno16780032-1
I guess I could copy over the original interface, however, I'd like to find the textbook answer to activate the "-1" version. Is it a matter of using nmcli?
