http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=970774 Bug ID: 970774 Summary: Static ip settings specified for eth card in Yast not properly applied if the link is physically down at the moment Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: 13.2 Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE 13.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: zhubr@mail.ru QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:44.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/44.0 Build Identifier: Static ip settings (ip address specifically) specified for eth card in Yast do not get properly applied if the link is physically down at boot. The proper settings are still missing if the link becomes physically available later. The only way to get my manually specified ip settings fully applied is to have physical link up at the right moment. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. In yast to to networrk settings, overview tab, select your eth card, press edit, then enter some valid manual configuration - static ip address, netmask, netname, set activation "On boot" or "On hotplug". 2. Make sure network cable is unplugged from this ethernet card, reboot the box. 3. Use "ifconfig" or "ip addr show" to check that ip address was not applied. 4. Plug the network cable, then check again that ip address was not applied. Actual Results: Static manual ip settings do not get applied if the link is physically down at boot time. Expected Results: Static manual ip settings should just be applied. Unconditionally. No matter what. That's what they just exist for. Essentially the consequence is that if the box started in some unfortunate moment when the uplink was (temporary) down, static manual ip settings do not get applied and therefore the box appears unaccessible. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
