Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-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.

Build Identifier: 

When defining subnets users select the default boot method utilized for interfaces on the subnet. When provisioning a host the subnet can be selected and an IP address box is presented, regardless of Static or DHCP settings.

If the IP box is left blank and and static has been selected, the rendered network option will use static for bootproto and and the result is an empty '--ip= '.

If box is filled with an IP address, but the subnet is set to DHCP then the interface is still set to DHCP. It is unclear to the user what the IP field will be used for (attempting to create a static host entry in DHCP), since the result is still DHCP.

Some environments may choose to override the default setting of static or DHCP for specific hosts, while still being on the same subnet.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Define Subnet to be Static or DHCP
2.Define host and try to set static IP or leave field blank
3.Don't allow Satellite to manage DHCP.


Expected Results:  
1) Provided a clear dialog that stated if the subnet was defined as DHCP or Static
2) Provided an option to change the setting for the host from Static to DHCP and vice versa
3) Clearly indicated that if the subnet was defined as DHCP and an IP address is provided it will be used to _try_ and create a static DHCP entry.

It is possible to work around with parameters and modified templates, but this is probably more work then necessary and not intuitive to the user.

Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please feel free to contact Rich Jerrido or Bryan Kearney. Thank you.
