Well, for system-wide connections which you would presumably want for 
a server, you edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* as usual and 
NM will bring the interface up at boot.

connection and select it instead of the System or Auto connection 
which is very handy when moving between networks that don't support 
DHCP.
