Description of problem: Error info when start an ethernet interface with multi static ipv6 address on host PKG OS-rhel7.2 libvirt-1.3.1-1.el7.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Setup 1.save the config file of eth0 # cp /etc/sysconfig/network-scritps/ifcfg-eth0 /tmp 2. After the following test step is finished, please copy the ifcfg-eth0 back, and restart network to restore netowrk. Steps to Reproduce: 1. prepare ipv6.xml <interface type='ethernet' name='eth0'> <start mode='onboot'/> <protocol family='ipv6'> <ip address='2002::200' prefix='64'/> <ip address='2002::201' prefix='64'/> </protocol> </interface> 2.[root@localhost jishao]# service NetworkManager status Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status NetworkManager.service ● NetworkManager.service - Network Manager Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: inactive (dead) since Wed 2016-02-17 14:22:01 CST; 23min ago Process: 10425 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/NetworkManager --no-daemon (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) 3.[root@localhost jishao]# virsh iface-define ipv6.xml Interface eth0 defined from ipv6.xml 4.[root@localhost jishao]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 DEVICE="eth0" ONBOOT="yes" IPV6INIT=yes IPV6_AUTOCONF=no DHCPV6=no IPV6ADDR=2002::200/64 IPV6ADDR_SECONDARIES="2002::201/64" 5.[root@localhost jishao]# virsh iface-list --all Name State MAC Address --------------------------------------------------- eth0 inactive 44:37:e6:95:03:e4 lo active 00:00:00:00:00:00 6.[root@localhost jishao]# virsh iface-start eth0 error: Failed to start interface eth0 error: internal error: failed to create (start) interface eth0: unspecified error - interface eth0 failed to become active - possible disconnected cable. 7.[root@localhost jishao]# virsh iface-list Name State MAC Address --------------------------------------------------- eth0 active 44:37:e6:95:03:e4 lo active 00:00:00:00:00:00 8.[root@localhost jishao]# service network restart Restarting network (via systemctl): [ OK ] 9.[root@localhost jishao]# virsh iface-destroy eth0 Interface eth0 destroyed Expected results: eth0 started without error Additional info: On rhel7 guest, do all the steps, eth0 can be started without error

(In reply to Jingjing Shao from comment #2) I met the same issue as #c2, and it only happens on e1000e interface, the fail rate is more than 80%(17/20). When I use igb interface, it always works well.
