I have a clean installation of Ubuntu 12.04 Server. I would like to find the UUID for a network connection. How do I find this?



ifconfig -a does not list it:



eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:1e:67:6a:78:a8  
inet addr:192.168.50.18 Bcast:192.168.50.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

nmcli is not installed (because this is Ubuntu server):



user@server# nmcli
The program 'nmcli' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
apt-get install network-manager


From a desktop install, I can do:



user@desktop# nmcli c list

How do I find it when network-manager isn't installed? Surely I don't have to install network-manager?

The UUID is part of Network Manager. If you don't have Network Manager installed and enabled, then you don't have this UUID.



It is not related to OpenStack Quantum UUID at all.



Therefore, you cannot find the UUID. It does not exist.
