You have a couple of methods:

# GUI #

1) gnome-control-center network
2) nm-connection-editor

# COMMAND LINE #
4) nmcli  (you can use the interactive method to configure the network)
5) ip  (from the iproute command) but here I think you'll need to disable NM
6) manually edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-XXXX followed by:
    a)  nmcli dev disconnect
    b)  nmcli con reload
    d)  nmcli con up <YOUR-CONNECTION-NAME>
...so that NetworkManager is aware that a change was made on the config
file.

# TUI (CURSES-BASED) #
7) nmtui :  this is not available yet but it is coming :)

HTH,
