When an IMM is restarted from the web portal the usb interface (used by IMM) fails to assign Ip to the interface
Issue
- When IMM (Integrated Management Module) is restarted via web portal, the usb interface is disconnected and reconnected on the system. But IP address is not set on this interface.
- Running
ifdown usb0andifup usb0manually resolves the issue, but IP does not get assigned automatically with hotplug. - IP address is assigned with system (re-)boot on the USB device.
- The ifconfig -a result is:
usb0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

- The ifcfg-usb0 configuration is:
HWADDR=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
DEVICE=usb0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.0.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
