our switches also take long time to be up. and our servers are booting
fast. I don't know what's the problem with the situation. with
network-scripts, the network settings is ready early. when physical
network goes up, the related service is up too. maybe your situation
need dynamic logic like dhcp or some kind of timeout so can not wait
for long time?

our servers may have team,bridge,vlan and complex routing. with static
configuration they work fine. I don't want them up/down with network
cable. I want them always setup and ready. I don't know if
NetworkManager can handle these correctly with dynamic logic now. in
early EL7 days, I have a teamd dependency problem. with network-scrips
it can be fixed immediately . but with NetworkManager it is hard to
fix. I am afraid these kind of bugs.
