102-500 Exam - Question 103


What is true about NetworkManager on a Linux system that uses its distribution's mechanisms to configure network interfaces? (Choose two.)

Show Answer
Correct Answer: BCE

NetworkManager by default does not change interfaces which are already configured. This is to prevent interfering with existing configurations set by other tools or manually. Additionally, NetworkManager can be configured to use the distribution's network interface configuration, allowing flexibility in how network settings are applied and managed.

Sorry. The answer is C & E. NetworkManager will auto detect network interfaces.

https://networkmanager.dev/docs/admins/ - By default NetworkManager manages all devices found on the system. If you plan to configure an interface manually or through some other tool, you should tell NetworkManager to not manage it. - so it's not B
