### Warning
The role replaces existing connections of the same names as those
specified in the `network_connections` variable, and thus overwrites
non-Ansible managed settings. Values of settings which are not
specified in the `network_connections` variable are not
preserved. Exceptions to this are:
The role updates or creates all connection profiles on the target system as
specified in the `network_connections` variable. Therefore, the role will
remove settings from the specified profiles if the settings are only present on
the system but not in the `network_connections` variable. The following
exceptions apply:
* Connections that have only the `state` setting specified, the role
then allows to activate or deactivate the connection without
otherwise changing it.
* For profiles that only contain a `state` setting, the role will only activate
or deactivate the connection without changing its configuration.
* The `route_append_only` and `rule_append_only` settings which allow
to append to the current set of static routes and routing rules
instead of replacing them.
* The `route_append_only` setting allows to only add new routes to the
existing routes on the system.
* The `rule_append_only` setting allows to preserve the current routing rules.
There is no support to specify routing rules at the moment.
