I found a guide for setting up a bridge in Fedora and was trying this:

$ nmcli connection delete p33p1
$ nmcli connection add con-name br0 type bridge ifname br0 autoconnect yes
$ nmcli connection add con-name p33p1 type bridge-slave ifname p33p1 master br0 autoconnect yes

I found that

$ nmcli con delete uuid [uuid here] 

accomplished the first step. nmcli connection does not have an 'add' action in this distribution.

Please help me do the 2nd and 3rd steps.

Context: I am trying to set up a virtual machine. I believe this is a necessary step for the VM to access my network and the internet. Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong!

BTW, I am a linux newbie, tech oldie. Thank you.
