systemd unit ExecStop runs after network has finished, but requires network to stop

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • systemd unit ExecStop runs after network has finished, but requires network to stop
  • systemd unit contains Requires=network.target and After=network.target but NetworkManager Team network interface stops before the systemd unit stops. When using Ethernet or Bond network interface, the service stops fully before the network is down
  • What needs to be put in a systemd service file in order that the ExecStop script gets executed completely before the network is shut down?

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1
  • NetworkManager running Team network interface
  • systemd service unit file whose ExecStop requires network connectivity to properly shut down
