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.

it works, but later

it doesn't. (both times the same NM version 1.22.2-1.el8).



Can you provide full level=TRACE logfile that shows the issue?

See https://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/tree/contrib/fedora/rpm/NetworkManager.conf#n28 for hints about logging.



Or maybe better, can you provide access to such a machine? (E.g. via email: my GPG key https://tynq.net/49EA7C670E0850E7419514F629C2366E4DFC5728.gpg and my SSH public key https://tynq.net/id_rsa.pub).



A workaround is probably to switch the DHCP plugin. It would be interesting to know whether the issue is avoided by

  [main]
  dhcp=systemd

in /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/99-my-workaround.conf





Thank you.

Trace log of NetworkManager

Hi Thomas,

I reproduce this issue in Azure and I tried with your steps in comment 3. 
1. Please check the attachment about the trace log.
2. The workaround worked well. eth0 can get ip address.
a). # cat /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/99-my-workaround.conf
[main]
dhcp=systemd
b). # systemctl restart NetworkManager

Thanks!
Comment 6 Frank Liang 2020-01-02 10:31:23 UTC 
(In reply to Thomas Haller from comment #3)
Hi Thomas,

Please checked yuxin's attached log which is dumped from Azure platform.

As there is no interactive console in aws, I mount the root volume to another host and copy the log out. The log show that eth0 is up with same NM version.
I think it is because they comes from different systems, below is a brief introduction:

We update system1 firstly, and it works well with the latest NM installed, the eth0 is up.
Then we create a private image from system1, the history messages was saved to this image too(eg. eth0 is up).
We start another system2 from this image, and the system is not accessible, so the failed log was appended to messages(eth0 failed).

Comment 10 Vladimir Benes 2020-01-07 12:12:06 UTC 
We do see failures in various NM tests. It seems to be related:
ipv4_dhcp_client_id_set 
ipv4_dhcp_client_id_set_internal 
nmcli_reconnect_openvswitch_vlan_configuration 
NM_reboot_openvswitch_vlan_configuration
Comment 11 Beniamino Galvani 2020-01-08 16:47:57 UTC 
 <debug> [1577956756.7399] dhcp4 (eth0): received NACK from 168.63.129.16
 <trace> [1577956756.7400] dhcp4 (eth0): client event 3
 <info>  [1577956756.7400] dhcp4 (eth0): state changed unknown -> fail

This looks similar to https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/issues/325 and should be fixed by the upstream merge request indicated in the comments. The fix will be in the next package build of NM.
