The boot parameter to configure a VLAN interface does not work on installation from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • I am trying to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3, and the kickstart file is on the VLAN network.
  • I used the following boot parameter in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2, and it worked completely.
ip=IP-ADDRESS gateway=GATEWAY-IP-ADDRESS netmask=NETMASK hostname=HOSTNAME ksdevice=em1 nameserver=DNS-SERVER-ADDRESS inst.ks=http://WEB-SERVER-NAME/.../ks.cfg vlan=vlan100:em1 ipv6.disable=1
  • The VLAN ID of local VLAN network is 100, and the VLAN interface should be created on a physical interface em1 in this environment.
  • But, this same configuration doesn't work in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3. The specified IP address was assigned into em1, though it's expected to assign into the VLAN interface.
  • How can I make it work again in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3?
