More incorrect networking instruction: RHEL 8, RH124, Chapter 12, Section 7

Here is more networking content that is just plain wrong -- for RHEL 8

(It is correct for RHEL 7: Is copy 'n' pasting going on without checking to see if something is correct or not -- before it is to be taught to students?)

This:

Gives this:

nmcli con add or nmcli con mod -- it doesn't matter, the sytax in the course material is incorrect. nmcli for RHEL 8 no longer accepts the "ip/prefix gateway" syntax.

These are the correct ways, using ipv4.gateway and ipv6.gateway:

Proof the gateways were added:

Look at the first graphic again:
127a.JPG

It says that "IPv4 address, network prefix, and default gateway" ... can have "directives end with 1, 2, 3 and so on."

Partially true. This is true for the IPV4 (or IPv6) address and prefix(es). It is not true gor the default gateway -- there will only be one:

Here, trying to add a second gateway for IPv4 and IPv6 (and the command returns no error):

You can see that even though it took my command, it did not do what was expected (remember, I did a +ipv4.gateway) - it did not add the gateways, it replaced the old gateways:
