Could not activate connection: Connection 'ens33' is not available on device ens33 because device is strictly unmanaged
Hi,
I have one RedHat8 virtual machine connected via bridge to my Wifi router, in order to have connection to outside.
The machine has an static IP configuracion settled in the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts[root@system network-scripts]# cat ifcfg-ens33 TYPE=Ethernet PROXY_METHOD=none BROWSER_ONLY=no BOOTPROTO=none IPV4INIT=yes DEFROUTE=yes IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=no NAME=ens33 DEVICE=ens33 ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=192.168.0.40 PREFIX=24 GATEWAY=192.168.0.1 DNS1=192.168.0.1 DOMAIN=example.com IPV6INIT=no UUID=c96bc909-188e-ec64-3a96-6a90982b08ad
But when I execute it appears that the the network devices ( indeed all of them) are strictly unmanaged:
[root@system network-scripts]# nmcli virbr0: unmanaged "virbr0" bridge, 52:54:00:3C:B9:DD, sw, mtu 1500 ens33: unmanaged "Intel 82545EM" ethernet (e1000), 00:0C:29:1A:D0:D0, hw, mtu 1500 lo: unmanaged "lo" loopback (unknown), 00:00:00:00:00:00, sw, mtu 65536 virbr0-nic: unmanaged "virbr0-nic" tun, 52:54:00:3C:B9:DD, sw, mtu 1500 vnet0: unmanaged "vnet0" tun, FE:54:00:0A:5C:6D, sw, mtu 1500
I dont understand why because NetworkManager is up and running :
[root@system ~]# systemctl status NetworkManager ● NetworkManager.service - Network Manager Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Tue 2021-08-24 23:50:48 CEST; 6min ago Docs: man:NetworkManager(8)
Also, I have tried to restart the service, but I have not succeeded
Later on, I have tried to changed this state using the GUI interface , executing
nmtuinmtuiCould not activate connection: Connection 'ens33' is not available on device ens33 because device is strictly unmanaged
What am I doing wrong?
I would appreciate if anyone could provide any help to solve this issue
Thanks in advance
