network-manager nowadays comes with nmtui to manage conections from
commandline, take a look ;) 

(though this is not as powerfull as the super failsafe "netplan try"
with which you can test out connection settings without locking
yourself out (it seamlessly goes back to the former config if something
went wrong and you locked yourself out, so you can always get back in
to that remote machine without having to visit it in person))
