Portal:Wicked/Using Wicked

Using Wicked

• Enable wicked using:

 systemctl enable --force wicked
 #This enables the wicked services, creates the network.service -> wicked.service alias link and causes to start the network at the next boot.

• To manually start the server process (again, as root), use:

 systemctl start wickedd.service
 # which starts wickedd (main server) and associated supplicants:
   /usr/lib/wicked/bin/wickedd-auto4 --systemd --foreground
   /usr/lib/wicked/bin/wickedd-dhcp4 --systemd --foreground
   /usr/lib/wicked/bin/wickedd-dhcp6 --systemd --foreground
   /usr/sbin/wickedd --systemd --foreground
   /usr/sbin/wickedd-nanny --systemd --foreground

• You may then bring up the network using the service name directly, or the network alias:

 systemctl start wicked.service
               # or
 systemctl start network.service

• These commands are using default/system configuration sources as defined in the /etc/wicked/client.xml file.
