Re: Unable to get dummy interfaces to persist across reboots in CentOS 8

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Have you tried to use NetworkManager ?
After all ,anything network related should be done by it.

[root@system ~]# nmcli connection add con-name dummy0 ifname dummy0 type dummy  
Connection 'dummy0' (9fdd74fa-c143-4991-9bac-0e542704ac89) successfully added.

[root@system ~]# reboot
Shared connection to glustera closed.


[root@system ~]# uptime
03:23:44 up 0 min,  1 user,  load average: 1,57, 0,48, 0,17
[root@glustera ~]# nmcli connection show  
NAME    UUID                                  TYPE      DEVICE  
dummy0  9fdd74fa-c143-4991-9bac-0e542704ac89  dummy     dummy0


[root@system ~]# ip a s dummy0
3: dummy0: <BROADCAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
   link/ether ce:c9:83:97:10:ee brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
   inet6 fe80::599:a978:9457:df10/64 scope link noprefixroute  
      valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

P.S.: This is the first time I hear about dummy interfaces. What are those used for ?

Best Regards,

Anyone have any ideas?  It's rather annoying that I can't get these to
persist across reboots without using some kind of helper script.
