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.

Comment 1 Red Hat Bugzilla Rules Engine 2016-08-16 08:17:52 UTC 
Target release should be placed once a package build is known to fix a issue. Since this bug is not modified, the target version has been reset. Please use target milestone to plan a fix for a oVirt release.

Please also attach the output of "nmcli con" and "nmcli dev".
Comment 6 Marius Vollmer 2016-08-17 10:34:38 UTC 
I could add 10 network interfaces on a virtual machine without trouble, see the attached screenshot.

In you screenshot, em2 seems to be missing.  It is probably omitted for some specific reason or bug.  There is no limit to 6 interfaces anywhere that I know of.

Please try to figure out why em2 is not shown.  "nmcli dev" might give some hints.
Please also try "nmtui" to see whether it shows different interfaces than Cockpit.

Hi Marius,

My testing environment is activate one nic about em2.
Comment 9 Marius Vollmer 2016-09-09 09:31:43 UTC 
> em2     ethernet  unmanaged     --

This is the reason why Cockpit doesn't show the em2 interface.  It doesn't show any unmanaged interfaces.

I think we can argue that Cockpit _should_ in fact show unmanaged interfaces, but refrain from configuring them.  I'll propose that via a pull request.
Comment 10 Fabian Deutsch 2016-09-10 10:18:35 UTC 
+1 on that suggested behavior Marius.
Comment 11 Marius Vollmer 2016-09-15 08:42:43 UTC 
Here is the pull request:

  https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5053

With that, your em2 should appear in its own "Unmanaged Interfaces" panel.

Whether or not "em2" should actually be unmanaged is a different question.  Do you think it might be erroneously marked as unmanaged by NM?
Comment 12 Dominik Perpeet 2016-12-13 22:11:00 UTC 
The patch went into upstream Cockpit 119, available in 7.3.1 with version cockpit-122
https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/commit/018ffcce05e7b0921b7cfa22af7d980f5716289c
Comment 13 Martin Pitt 2017-10-13 10:20:27 UTC 
This was fixed upstream in Cockpit 127, current RHEL 7.4 has Cockpit 138, so this bug is fixed there. Plus this was fixed as an update in 7.3.1. So I think this can be closed now.
