I have a kickstart server that installs Centos 7 without installing NetworkManager. Everything on it works fine, but the networking.

I'm able to get the networking working by logging in via tty1 and running 

[root@centos~]# systemctl restart network

Which leads me to believe that it's starting too early.

When it first boots, checking the status of network via systemd shows:

● network.service - LSB: Bring up/down networking


Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/network; bad; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2017-10-04 07:46:02 PDT; 5min ago

Oct 04 07:46:02 centos.local systemd[1]: Unit network.service entered failed state.
Oct 04 07:46:02 centos.local systemd[1]: network.service failed.

I can't seem to find a solution to this specific question, so I'm asking here.

Thanks.

Config file below

#/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eno1

NAME="eno1"
DEVICE="eno1"
ONBOOT=yes
NETBOOT=yes
UUID="315e0366-a380-47f2-a9d4-4512a52cdaf2"
IPV6INIT=yes
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
TYPE=Ethernet

EDIT: Setting a static config in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eno1 seems to have resolved the issue.

  • There is an issue with your ifcfg-eno1 file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts

  • And when you execute dmesg | grep "device en" do you see the network interface named eno1 or is it named something else?

  • I don't get anything from that. If I execute dmesg | grep "eno1" I can see that: [ 4.181832] systemd-udevd[466]: renamed network interface eth0 to eno1 Could this be the reason?

    Try "ip link show" to see the system names for your interfaces. You may want to put "NM_CONTROLLED=no" in your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eno1 file, too.

I also encountered similar problems:

enter image description here

To modify the configuration files.(ifcfg-ensxxxx), as follows:

  • Commented out "UUID=xxxx-xxxx"
  • Add new option: NM_CONTROLLED=no #"NM_CONTROLLED=no" indicates that this interface will be set up using this configuration file, instead of being managed by Network Manager service.

  • Screenshots don't like very well on the first spot, I suggest to use copy-paste. Anyways, good answer. :-)

Setting a static configuration instead of DHCP seems to have resolved the issue.
