The following commands will define a fixe IPv4 address, the gateway and DNS addresses and finally set the method

$ nmcli connection modify backhaul ipv4.gateway 192.168.1.1

$ nmcli connection modify backhaul ipv4.dns 8.8.8.8

$ nmcli connection modify backhaul ipv4.method manual

Apply the new parameters with the following command:

$ nmcli connection up backhaul

The nmcli show connection command returns now the following:

$ nmcli connection show backhaul

IP4.ADDRESS[1]: 192.168.1.11/24

IP4.GATEWAY: 192.168.1.1

IP4.ROUTE[1]: dst = 192.168.1.0/24, nh = 0.0.0.0, mt = 100
