For better or worse, mmcli is pretty much the default mechanism for configuring networking on RHEL8/CentOS8. I cannot as of yet, say I am a fan. However, I have been working with ifconfig files for years and held on to that method of networking configuration until they were dragged from my cold and bloated hands.

Show a Bridge and Connected Interfaces

Format is as shown below.

nmcli -f GENERAL.DEVICE,GENERAL.TYPE,BRIDGE.SLAVES device show bridge_device_name

For example:

nmcli -f GENERAL.DEVICE,GENERAL.TYPE,BRIDGE.SLAVES device show provisioning
GENERAL.DEVICE:                         provisioning
GENERAL.TYPE:                           bridge
BRIDGE.SLAVES:                          eno1.98 vnet1

Add a Bridge

# nmcli connection add type bridge ifname app-br0
Connection 'bridge-app-br0' (f26b8315-5ab0-409a-a701-8abf3837aa92) successfully added.

Add a Slave Interface to a Bridge

nmcli con add type ethernet con-name br-slave-1 ifname eno51 master app-br0

Delete a Bridge

# nmcli conn delete bridge-app-br0
Connection 'bridge-app-br0' (f26b8315-5ab0-409a-a701-8abf3837aa92) successfully deleted.
