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 2017-03-16 10:22:19 UTC 
Description of problem:

When changing NIC configuration from initramfs in tui is broken.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

RHEL-7.4-20170315.n.1

How reproducible:

Always

A) dhcp (initramfs) -> static (tui)

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Run text network installation with one NIC, activated with dhcp in initramfs (no boot option or ip=ens3:dhcp)
2. In tui change the configuration to static with applying it in installer environment (check 8) [x] Apply configuration in installer)

Actual results:
The configuration is not applied, there is BOOTPROTO=none in the ifcfg file

Expected results:
The static configuration is applied in installer, ifcfg file is fine.

This is a regression from RHEL 7.3 (might be related to the new NM 1.8 in 7.4)

B) static (initramfs) -> dhcp (tui)

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Run text network installation with one NIC, activated with static configuration in initramfs (eg ip=10.34.102.233::10.34.102.254:255.255.255.0::ens3:none nameserver=10.34.39.2
2. In tui change the configuration to dhcp with applying it in installer environment (check 8) [x] Apply configuration in installer)
   - It is not possible to remove the nameserver, gateway and netmask options.

Actual results:
NIC gets dhcp address but also keeps static configuration (ifcfg file contains BOOTPROTO=dhcp and IPADDR, PREFIX, GATEWAY, DNS1 set)

Expected results:
NIC is recofigured with dhcp ip address, ifcfg file is fine (contains only BOOTPROTO=dhcp, no IPADDR, no PREFIX, no GATEWAY) 
Also it should be possible to clear nameserver, gateway and netmask settings in tui.

This is the same in RHEL 7.3.
Comment 2 Radek Vykydal 2017-03-16 10:24:47 UTC 
We should assess severity of the BZ also in the light of tui network spoke being added to initial setup in RHEL 7.4.

The none value is ok.
Comment 5 Radek Vykydal 2017-03-16 13:00:02 UTC 
I am not able to reproduce A), maybe I actually forgot to check the 8) [x] to activate the connection.
Removing Regression keyword and keeping the BZ for the issue B).
