+Subject: [PATCH] fix: NM reload and bring up individual network conns (#6073)
+
+RH-Author: Ani Sinha <anisinha@redhat.com>
+RH-MergeRequest: 126: fix: NM reload and bring up individual network conns (#6073)
+RH-Jira: RHEL-81896
+RH-Acked-by: Emanuele Giuseppe Esposito <eesposit@redhat.com>
+RH-Acked-by: xiachen <xiachen@redhat.com>
+RH-Commit: [1/1] 857425551179297a53fe8c870f055ad832085d36 (anisinha/cloud-init)
+
+Reloading the network manager service is equivalent to "nmcli reload" and this
+command only reloads the global .conf files and DNS config, not connections.
+This means changes to connection files will not take effect. For those to take
+effect, we need "nmcli conn load/reload" and then "nmcli conn up". Thus,
+reloading network manager as well as reloading the connections are required to
+cover all cases.
+
+Also see https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/issues/5512#issuecomment-2298371744
+
+While at it, rename "reload-or-try-restart" -> "try-reload-or-restart" since
+the former is legacy and the later is the officially documented sub-command.
+
+Fixes: GH-6064
+Fixes: bde913ae242 ("fix(NetworkManager): Fix network activator")
