With nmcli you should use:
nmcli con mod eth0 +ipv4.addresses 192.168.1.X/24
This would modify your existing ifcfg-eth0 adding the lines:
IPADDR1=192.168.1.X
PREFIX1=24
To have the new setting applied and your new ip alias up and running you
can then use
nmcli dev reapply eth0
(supposing the device name bound to the connection is eth0)
You can also manually modify the file adding the two lines above and then
run:
nmcli con reload
nmcli dev reapply eth0
I think you should not lose your connection, but always test on a non
production machine with the same os version... just for safety
HIH,
