All logs and all files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts

Description of problem:
It shows "BOOTPROTO=none" in ifcfg-interface file when set ip as Manual via cockpit, it should show "BOOTPROTO=static".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
redhat-virtualization-host-4.0-20161206.0
cockpit-ws-122-3.el7.x86_64
NetworkManager-1.4.0-13.el7_3.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHVH 4.0.6 via anaconda.
2. Reboot RHVH and login cockpit, enter Networking page in cockpit
3. Select one NIC em1, enter configure page, set up IPV4/IPV6 as Manual mode
4. Check the ifcfg file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-em1

Actual results:
In step4, it shows "BOOTPROTO=none" in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-em1

Expected results:
In step4, it should show "BOOTPROTO=static" in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-em1

Comment 2 Fabian Deutsch 2016-12-07 13:17:32 UTC 
Well - My take is that the original sysv (?) implementation actually only expected BOOTPROTO for dhcp.
However, leaving this to cockpit/NM.
Comment 4 Beniamino Galvani 2016-12-15 15:56:49 UTC 
From /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt:

    BOOTPROTO=none|bootp|dhcp
      'bootp' or 'dhcp' cause a DHCP client to run on the device. Any other
      value causes any static configuration in the file to be applied.

This is confirmed by the fact that /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup only cares about BOOTPROTO=dhcp and BOOTPROTO=bootp.

Closing as NOTABUG.
