Description of problem: initscripts-8.45.17.EL-1 A vlan defined on top of a bridge is not correctly initiated on boot. cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ cat ifcfg-br0 DEVICE=br0 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=none TYPE=Bridge brctl stp br0 on cat ifcfg-br0.3 DEVICE=br0.3 BOOTPROTO=static TYPE=Ethernet ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=172.16.128.126 NETMASK=255.255.255.224 BROADCAST=172.16.128.127 NETWORK=172.16.128.96 How reproducible: upon each reboot Actual results: Delaying initialisation Expected results: up Additional info: in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup, line 65, change if [[ "${DEVICE}" =~ '^(eth|bond)[0-9]+\.[0-9]{1,4}$' ]]; then into if [[ "${DEVICE}" =~ '^(eth|bond|br)[0-9]+\.[0-9]{1,4}$' ]]; then fixes it
Bridge devices aren't necessarily only named br*, so that's not good enough.
