Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1448165
NetworkManager does not track ip configurations on managed, inactive devices
Last modified: 2017-08-01 05:28:57 EDT
Description of problem: When an ip configuration is added with a tool external to NetworkManager (e.g., the ip tool) to a device inactive but managed by NetworkManager, NetworkManager does not create anymore a tracking connection nor is able to assume the connection. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.8.0-0.4.rc3 How reproducible: add a static ip configuration to a managed and not active device: no connection is created/activated by NetworkManager Steps to Reproduce: 1. ip add add 192.168.1.2/24 dev eth1 2. ip add show eth1 3. nmcli conn show Actual results: ip configuration is there and shown with "ip add show" but no tracking connection from NetworkManager is created Expected results: NetworkManager creates/activates a connection to track the newly got ip address Additional info:
