  • Can't set static IP in RHEL 7 Desktop

    Posted on

    I am using RHEL Desktop. I want to configure RHEL 7 with VLAN tagged connections (I have 8 Ethernet Ports).

    After configuration the ports come UP (in fact ALL ports display UP) but without an IP address. My configurations are:

    VLAN=yes
    DEVICE=eno1.200
    BOOTPROTO=static
    ONBOOT=yes
    IPADDRESS=10.67.152.177
    NETMASK=255.255.255.192

    VLAN=yes
    DEVICE=eno2.101
    BOOTPROTO=static
    ONBOOT=yes
    IPADDRESS=192.168.20.177
    NETMASK=255.255.255.0

    When I run the ifconfig command I see the following:

    enO1.200: flags=4163 mtu 1500
    inet6 fe80::a2d3:c1ff:fefa:6bfc prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20
    ether a0:d3:c1:fa:6b:fc txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
    RX packets 5 bytes 340 (340.0 B)
    RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
    TX packets 7 bytes 870 (870.0 B)
    TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
    device interrupt 32

    NOTE: There is NO up address assigned.

    Nothing changes when I execute service network restart.

    When I try the ifup-eth eno1.200 I get the following error:

    [root@localhost network-scripts]# ./ifup-eth ifcfg-eno1.200
    Could not load file '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eno1.200'
    RTNETLINK answers: File exists
    Could not load file '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eno1.200'
    Could not load file '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eno1.200'
    [root@localhost network-scripts]#

    So, what am I doing wrong?

    Oh yes, one more thing. The port is plugged in and there is link.
