Then could you tell me, please, how to fix an issue I've got with
a
server running F-9 that has a static IP address? I've edited
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. It contains (among other
settings):
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes
NM_CONTROLLED=no
IPADDR=xx.xx.xx.xx
Everything works fine *except* that ONBOOT=yes is not honored. On
boot, eth0 is not up. I have to go login to the machine's console and
"ifup eth0" before I get a network connection. After that it behaves
perfectly. This wasn't so much of a problem when the machine in
question was 50 feet from my desk, but it is currently 45 miles from
my desk and that IS a problem. Thanks,
Are you using NetworkManager or network service?
chkconfig --list NetworkManager
chkconfig --list network
If NetworkManger is enabled and network is not, then you need to
change ifcfg-eth0:
NM_CONTROLLED=yes
