Unix & Linux Asked by raoulpetite on January 17, 2021
I am setting up a server which has a 4 ports (em1 to em4) QLogic network interface. It is connected though em3 and the IP address is automatically given by DHCP based on the mac address. I do not have access to the network after booting.So, I have to use systemctl restart network
after each boot.
After booting, systemctl status network
sometimes gives me this :
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 ven. 2019-03-15 09:20:18 CET; 2min 21s ago

Clearly, the network is not activated. But sometimes (apparently randomly), I can also have after a boot:
network.service - LSB: Bring up/down networking
Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/network; bad; vendor preset: disabled)
Active: active (exited) since ven. 2019-03-08 15:05:10 CET; 48s ago

mars 08 15:05:09 localhost.localdomain network[3019]: [ OK ]
mars 08 15:05:10 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Started LSB: Bring up/down networking.
but although the connection seems activated I have to restart to access the network.
Let me add that /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-em3 contains :
TYPE=Ethernet
PROXY_METHOD=none
BROWSER_ONLY=no
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
DEFROUTE=yes
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=no
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes
IPV6_DEFROUTE=yes
IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=no
IPV6_ADDR_GEN_MODE=stable-privacy
NAME=em3
UUID=442f***************************
ONBOOT=yes
IPV6_PRIVACY=no
As ONBOOT is set to yes, I do not know how to fix this issue.
PS : when looking in /var/log/message (only the lines including networkManager), I have on booting time :

First, there seems to have interactions between em3 and em4 and at no point I have thing such as the following that happened when systemctl restart network
:
localhost NetworkManager[14060]: <info> [1552637774.4521] device (em3): Activation: starting connection 'em3' (442f**********************)
localhost nm-dispatcher: req:2 'down' [em3]: new request (4 scripts)

localhost NetworkManager[14060]: <info> [1552637774.4787] dhcp4 (em3): activation: beginning transaction (timeout in 45 seconds)
localhost NetworkManager[14060]: <info> [1552637774.4823] dhcp4 (em3): dhclient started with pid 14582
I realize using cat /proc/net/dev
that there were some network exchanges on em4. I then remembered that when the server was physically installed the 2 Gb ports were connected. So I unplugged the internet cable connected to em4 and my issue seems to be now solved.
