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 Radek Vykydal 2016-07-01 11:36:03 UTC
(Observed in installer) When configuring a device with ipv4 only with dracut options the device has ipv6 addresses autoconfigured if ipv4 is configured with dhcp, eg "ip=ens3:dhcp", while it has no ipv6 address [1] if ipv4 is configured statically, eg "ip=10.34.102.40::10.34.102.254:255.255.255.0::ens3:none"

[1] addresses autoconfigured by kernel are flushed in modules.d/40network/ifup.sh:do_static()

This inconsistency poses problem for taking over ibft (dhcp vs static ipv4) connections by NM after switchroot -> bug 1309661.

Comment 2 Radek Vykydal 2017-01-18 13:28:35 UTC
Are you considering fixing this in RHEL 7.4?

Comment 6 RHEL Program Management 2020-12-15 07:42:43 UTC
After evaluating this issue, there are no plans to address it further or fix it in an upcoming release.  Therefore, it is being closed.  If plans change such that this issue will be fixed in an upcoming release, then the bug can be reopened.
