RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Vladimir Benes 2010-07-15 12:21:41 UTC
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
NetworkManager-0.8.1-2.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.execute nmcli con up id $your_network_profile --timeout 10 in console 

  
Actual results:
after timeuot expires connecting continues

Expected results:
if the timeout expires and error is shown you shouldn't have been connected to the desired network

Comment 1 Dan Williams 2010-07-15 15:25:59 UTC
Not exactly; the timeout just makes the client block until either (a) an error occurs, (b) the timeout is reached, or (c) the connection is successfully brought up.  It won't tell NM to *stop* connecting when the timeout is reached; it just makes nmcli exit instead of blocking for a long time.  --timeout allows callers of nmcli to bound their runtime in cases where NM may take a long time to acquire an IP address, like marginal wifi connections with bad DHCP servers where connections could take up to a minute or more.
