I use fixed ip outside the DHCP range for my desktop. I think that's actually no longer a serious issue, as NetworkManager now supports profiles. In the Network settings app, you can select settings for each WiFi access point and you can create profiles for the wired interface as well. Profiles can be associated with IPV4 and IPV6 settings (including whether you DHCP or assign a permanent IP), security settings, and firewall zones, so you can have a permissive firewall at home, open ports for needed services at work, and have a tightly closed firewall for public access points. > > > Lacking that, the "arp" command may be helpful, > > but arp tables are sort of transitory and incomplete. > > I was under the impression all the ip <bla> commands were supposed to be > replacements for arp, am I wrong? > -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
