Created attachment 1030406 [details] Configured Alias interface doesn't come up automatically after host provisioning Description of problem: I was trying to configure alias interface while provisioning a discovered host with rhel71. I passed eth0 mac and selected static subnet. Also checked the Virtual and Managed checkboxes. when host was provisioned successfully, I didn't see alias interface with ifconfig -a. However configuration file of alias interface was there. and it was correctly configured. But the interface didn't come up automatically after provisioning. When I executed ifup eth0:0", interface came up with ip address. Please note that this is the issue only on rhel71. On rhel66 I can correctly see the configured interface and it automatically come-up after provisioning. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sat6.1 GA snap5 How reproducible: always on rhel71 Steps to Reproduce: 1. discover a host 2. provision it with rhel71 3. add alias interface Actual results: Configured Alias interface doesn't come up automatically after host provisioning Expected results: interface should come up. no manual intervention should require.

After some testing it seems, that NM ignores config files with colon in name. After renaming the file (e.g. ifcfg-eth0_0), interface seems to start correctly.
