Version: 4.7.0-fc.0 Platform: baremetal IPI What happened? OVN create a bridge over the interface that was configured by the script and keep dhcp: [core@master-0-0 ~]$ nmcli con show br-ex | grep method ipv4.method: auto ipv6.method: auto What did you expect to happen? That the external interface will have static IP configured and will not request DHCP lease anymore, when infinite lease was configured How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)? Deploy cluster with infinite lease and OVN Anything else we need to know? In case cluster is deployed with OVS (OpenshiftSDN) static IP is configured as expected: [core@master-0-0 ~]$ nmcli con show NAME UUID TYPE DEVICE inf-lease-to-static 44c87dc3-4dea-4a00-9ad2-dba55b509b20 ethernet enp5s0 [core@master-0-0 ~]$ nmcli con show inf-lease-to-static | grep method ipv4.method: manual ipv6.method: auto
br-ex isn't the nmcli interface that is configured by the script. There's a different one named ovs-if-br-ex that should have the manual configuration. Can you check if that interface was correctly configured?
