RHEL7: Interfaces that are reconfigured for static lose their IP Addresses
Issue
- VMs suddenly loses network connection.
- We have a script that monitors the client getting a DHCP address from a DHCP server. Then the script updates the interfaces
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfgfile. A while later the DHCP lease expires and then the NICs IP Address is lost. - This did not happen on RHEL6.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
- Puppet
