Description Pavel Cahyna 2018-08-14 13:49:39 EDT

The state setting of network connections confuses two concepts: persistent (on disk) state of the profile and operational state of the interface. It should be split into two orthogonal settings: state with values up and down and persistent_state with present and absent. To some extent persistent_state is analogous to the "enabled" parameter of the service module: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/service_module.html#service-module
