NetworkManager does not honor IPADDR= when multiple addresses are specified

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 contains the following:
IPADDR=192.168.2.2
PREFIX=24
IPADDR1=192.168.2.1
PREFIX1=24
GATEWAY=192.168.2.254
  • After updating to NetworkManager-1.4.0-12.el7, IPADDR1= becomes the primary IP address used. If more than two addresses are specified, it may use any of the available addresses.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3
  • NetworkManager-1.4.0-12.el7
