Activate a Network Configuration Profile

You can activate (commit) changes made to a network configuration so that they become part of the actively running network configuration.
  1. Validate the network configuration profile to ensure that it is valid.
    netconfig --validate {Active | backup | draft}
  2. Activate the network configuration profile.
    netconfig --activate {Active | backup | draft}

Activating the Draft profile after validating it:

$ netconfig --validate draft
INFO: Configuration is valid.
netconfig --activate draft
