Yep - I've gone as far as removing NetworkManager completely from my servers. A few months ago I drank the koolaid and set up nmcli with my Xen server - and it was a pain in the backside. Finally got it working, but it still decided to drop the bridging interfaces randomly (causing all VMs to disconnect from the network) and wouldn't bring them back up. I ended up reverting to manually creating ifcfg-* config files and scrapping all plans of migrating to anything NetworkManager. The down side is that you lose the network-online target for systemd - which can cause its own problems - but its worth working around those for a stable network config. -- Steven Haigh Email: net...@crc.id.au Web: https://www.crc.id.au Phone: (03) 9001 6090 - 0412 935 897
