nmcli networking [command]

nmcli networking controls the overall networking state managed by NetworkManager. It provides a master switch to enable or disable all network interfaces at once.
The connectivity states are:
- full: Connected with full internet access
- limited: Connected to a network but no internet (captive portal, firewall)
- portal: Behind a captive portal requiring login
- none: No network connection
The connectivity check actively probes connectivity by accessing a known URL, while without "check" it reports the cached state from the last probe.

on

Enable networking and all NetworkManager-managed interfaces

Disable networking and deactivate all connections

Show connectivity state without performing a check

Perform a connectivity check and show the result

Disabling networking affects all NetworkManager-managed connections but not interfaces managed by other tools. The connectivity check depends on network accessibility to connectivity check servers (configurable in NetworkManager.conf). Some networks block these probes.
