I'm using the default I got when I installed centos 7.
Was not aware of any alternatives.

[root at localhost ~]# nmcli con

[root at localhost ~]# nmcli con edit enp0s25
Error: Unknown connection 'enp0s25'.
[root at localhost ~]# nmcli con edit eth0
Error: Unknown connection 'eth0'.
[root at localhost ~]# nmcli con edit  enp0s25

The last was a copy and paste.

Would I still get leases from DHCP?
Does DHCP set nameservers?
Ideally, I'd like to override just search.

Sorry about that.
I'd thought you meant that there was a whole set of them.
