-Find NIC UUID

+===== Introduction =====
+While following a guide the other day, one of the entries in the ifcfg-xxx config file was relating to a UUID for a network interface.
+\\
+  UUID=30892bab-fe54-4c77-9a95-8af5d77ddbd4
+\\
+Unfortunately I did not have this line in my configuration file and needed to add it, but how do I get the UUID? Luckily it is very simple.
+\\
+----
+==== Find UUID ====
+We can use the following command line:
+\\
+  nmcli connection show eno1 |grep connection.uuid
+  replace 'eno1' with the name of your interface.
+\\
+You will get an output similar to
+\\
+  connection.uuid:                        30892bab-fe54-4c77-9a95-8af5d77ddbd4
+\\
+The command<color #ed1c24>nmcli connection show eno1</color> on its own will show you quite a lot of information about that interface, but if you only want the UUID then using <color #ed1c24>|grep connection.uuid</color> will display just that.
