Cause: Network-manager ignores loopback, so lets call a good old ifup on it. Some people set up for example aliases in ifcfg-lo and NM did not put them up.

Description Lukáš Nykrýn 2015-04-02 09:44:36 UTC
Description of problem:
NetworkManager does nothing on loopback device and in the case that user setup an alias in ifcfg-lo it will not be applied. So lets run the old-fashioned ifup.

Comment 1 Lukáš Nykrýn 2015-05-04 11:53:23 UTC
Maybe this is not necessary, ifcfg-lo usually does not have UUID and then initscripts will not call nmcli for it.
