Fedora TRex VM - Cannot set Static IP address on eth0 (mgmt)

[Joe Cozzupoli]

Hi all,

I am having an issue setting a static IP address on the eth0 interface of my Fedora TRex VM. I have tried changing the ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-enp0s3.

Here is how they are configured:

[trex@localhost v2.65]$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp0s3   
TYPE="Ethernet"
BOOTPROTO="static"
DEFROUTE="yes"
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL="yes"
IPV6INIT="yes"
IPV6_AUTOCONF="yes"
IPV6_DEFROUTE="yes"
IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL="no"
NAME="enp0s3"
UUID="1ef32f1a-ad30-4320-b861-40811fbc5e72"
ONBOOT="yes"
HWADDR="08:00:27:86:39:79"
IPADDR="10.132.41.181"
PREFIX="24"
GATEWAY="10.132.41.1"
DNS1="8.8.8.8"
DNS2="8.8.4.4"
PEERDNS="yes"
PEERROUTES="yes"
IPV6_PEERDNS="yes"
IPV6_PEERROUTES="yes"

[trex@localhost v2.65]$

[trex@localhost v2.65]$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0     
TYPE="Ethernet"
BOOTPROTO="static"
DEFROUTE="yes"
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL="yes"
IPV6INIT="no"
IPV6_AUTOCONF="no"
IPV6_DEFROUTE="no"
IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL="no"
NAME="eth0"
UUID="1ef32f1a-ad30-4320-b861-40811fbc5e72"
ONBOOT="yes"
HWADDR="08:00:27:86:39:79"
IPADDR="10.132.41.181"
PREFIX="24"
GATEWAY="10.132.41.1"
DNS1="8.8.8.8"
DNS2="8.8.4.4"
PEERDNS="no"
PEERROUTES="no"
IPV6_PEERDNS="no"
IPV6_PEERROUTES="no"
[trex@localhost v2.65]$ 

I've tried disabling NetworkManager control of the interfaces (NM_CONTROLLED="no"), but doesn't make any difference!

Any help will be greatly appreciated, so thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Joe.
