This is terribly bad advice I'm afraid ...

The legacy network service is a fragile compilation of shell scripts
(which is why certain changes like some bonding or tagging alterations
require a full system restart or very careful unpicking manually with
ip) and is effectively deprecated in RHEL at this time due to major
bug fixes only but no feature work.
You really should have a read through this as well:

On EL6 yes NM should be removed on anything but a wifi system but on
EL7 unless you fall into a specific edge case as per the network docs:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html-single/Networking_Guide/index.html
you really should be using NM for a variety of reasons.
Incidentally Mark, this had nothing to do with systemd ... I wish you
would pick your topics a little more appropriately rather than
tempting the usual flames.
