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.

really accept IPADDR0 in ifcfg file

Description of problem:
When I give static address to eth1 via NM,
switch NM off and try to use network service
I end up with no address assigned to eth1.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
initscripts-9.29-1.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure eth1 with NetworkManager to statically assign IP address/prefix
2. Check that eth1 has its address
2. stop NM (or set NM_CONTROLLED="no" in ifcfg-eth1)
3. ifdown eth1; ifup eth1
  
Actual results:
eth1 is up but has no IP address

Expected results:
eth1 is up and has configured IP address

Additional info:
Although
http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=initscripts.git;a=commitdiff;h=ff5befb95b133cc1da3f32ffcd9f3cef779244b6
adds support for IPADDRn variable
ifup-eth is still unable to use for example
IPADDR0=192.168.0.155
written to ifcfg-eth1 by NM.

Attached patch fixes the problem in my environment.

Polish the code little bit

This patch only fixes the indentation of the code, nothing more.

Can you attach your config?

patch

Maybe I'm missing something, but this patch seems to be simple enough and works for me?

--- Additional comment from jpopelka on 2011-04-27 07:00:38 EDT ---

Yes, that does actually the same as my patch, so +1 for your patch.

--- Additional comment from notting on 2011-04-27 13:11:16 EDT ---

OK, pushed in git, will be in a future build.
