Hi, For one there is "ipv4.method=shared" to use IPv4-NAT and "ipv6.method=shared" for IPv6 prefix delegation. But that doesn't sound like a good fit in your scenario. Maybe setup a tunnel between Unit A and B. That may be a VPN, some kind of IP tunnel [1] or maybe MACSec [2]. All this is supported by NM, MACSec sounds most interesting to me. (note that IP tunnels and MACSec are a recent feature, you may not have it in your version). And then setup IP routing accordingly accros the tunnel. best, Thomas [1] https://developer.gnome.org/NetworkManager/stable/nm-settings.html#id-1.2.6.4.17 [2] https://developer.gnome.org/NetworkManager/stable/nm-settings.html#id-1.2.6.4.18
