RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description jorge.gonzalez 2016-02-24 12:51:00 UTC 
Description of problem:

I have the following lines in a KS file for a 3 NIC VM:

...
network  --bootproto static --device eth0 --ip 192.168.122.13 --netmask 255.255.255.0 --gateway 192.168.122.1 --nameserver 8.8.8.8 --noipv6 --activate
network  --hostname=$hostname
network  --bootproto=static --device=eth1 --ip=192.168.10.254 --netmask=255.255.255.0 --noipv6 --activate
network  --bootproto=static --device=eth2 --ip=192.168.20.254 --netmask=255.255.255.0 --noipv6 --activate
...

When the installation finishes, two IPs for the same subnet are assigned to the same interface eth0, and the DHCP client also running for eth0. One of the IPs is the static I specified, and the other one is being set by the DHCP client, which is running on that interface.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a KS install with the provided network options
2. Launch kickstart install with that file
3. Check network configuration of installed machine

Actual results:

This is the (strange) content of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:

TYPE=Ethernet
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
DEFROUTE=yes
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=no
IPV6INIT=yes
NAME=eth0
UUID=d3ef4a32-7d1d-49af-af1f-939c1d641dc7
DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes
IPV6_DEFROUTE=yes
IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=no
IPADDR=192.168.122.13
PREFIX=24
GATEWAY=192.168.122.1
PEERDNS=yes
PEERROUTES=yes
IPV6_PEERDNS=yes
IPV6_PEERROUTES=yes

The boot protocol is being set to "dhcp", BUT it is being assigned a static IP address too.

On ifcfg-eth1 and ifcfg-eth2 the BOOTPROTO variable is also being ignored from the kickstart "network --bootproto" directive. This is the content of the generated /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1:

# Generated by parse-kickstart
UUID=1dc6dae2-4cef-458c-8318-b8f390f52750
BOOTPROTO=none
DEVICE=eth1
ONBOOT=yes
IPV6INIT=no
TYPE=Ethernet
IPADDR=192.168.10.254
PREFIX=24
DEFROUTE=yes
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=no
NAME="System eth1"

ifcfg-etth2 is similarly defined, with BOOTPROTO=none.

It seems that the bootproto option is not being honored when configuring the interfaces.

Expected results:

All ifcfg-ethX config files should have the BOOTPROTO=static in them, instead of the wrong ones.

Additional info:
Comment 2 Radek Vykydal 2016-02-24 14:23:16 UTC 
This bug should be fixed in RHEL 7.3.
Possible workarounds:
- move the --hostname option to some of other network commands
- make the network --hostname the first network command
- add nonexisting --device= to the hostname command
