Why kickstart installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 fails with error saying bootproto=none is invalid option?

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • Trying to configure an interface without any IP
network  --bootproto=static --device=eno1 --gateway=192.168.0.254 --ip=192.168.0.10 --nameserver=192.168.0.254 --netmask=255.255.255.0 --onboot=yes --ipv6=auto --hostname=testserver.example.com
network  --bootproto=none --device=eno2 --onboot=yes --ipv6=auto
  • Unfortunately Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 kickstart does not like bootproto=none and If one gives the option static then it takes the IP from the first interface.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
  • Kickstart
