Before you activate changes you make to a network configuration, you can validate the changes to ensure there are no errors.
  1. Change or add any IP addresses, subnets, interfaces, or routes associated with the network configuration profile to be validated.
  2. Validate the network configuration profile.
    netconfig --validate {active | backup | draft}

$ ip --add 192.168.80.50 --netconfig draft --type data
$ ip --add 192.168.90.60 --netconfig draft --type data 
$ netconfig --validate draft
