Why when changing runlevels do NICs activate, even with those configured not to activate on boot?
Issue
- When trying to change runlevels from 3 to 5 via
telinit 5
ortelinit 3
NICs are activated which are not configured to do so. ifconfig
output should only display the currently up and active NICs when ran without argument, andNetworkManager
disabled.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6
