Description Mingyu Shi 2021-03-29 07:10:27 UTC

Description of problem:
Per https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1862047 , when the interface attached to an ovs bridge, marking it as 'state: ignore' doesn't work, it will be removed from kernel.
In NM connection of dummy0, 'connection.master' targets to 'ovs-port-dummy0', an 'ovs port', not ovsbr0 itself.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nmstate-1.0.2-5.el8.noarch
nispor-1.0.1-4.el8.x86_64
NetworkManager-1.30.0-4.el8.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
echo "interfaces:
- name: dummy0
  type: dummy
  state: up
- name: ovsbr0
  type: ovs-bridge
  state: up
  bridge:
    port:
    - name: dummy0
    - name: ovs0" | nmstatectl set -

echo "interfaces:
- name: dummy0
  type: dummy
  state: ignore
- name: ovsbr0
  type: ovs-bridge
  state: up
  bridge:
    port:
    - name: ovs0" | nmstatectl set -

ip link show dummy0 #Device "dummy0" does not exist.

Actual results:
dummy0 is removed

Expected results:
hold dummy0 under ovsbr0
