[ale] vips in rhel/centos 7

[Lightner, Jeff]

Did you do the setup using the config tool or did you do it by editing a file from command line?

Haven’t done it on RHEL7 yet but on later versions of RHEL6 it was using the Network Manager rather than the network to do configurations and I noticed that alias IPs (along with the primary IP) had to be configured in the main ifcfg-eth0 file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts rather than in a separate ifcfg-eth0:1 file as they did previously.   In RHEL6 we disabled Network Manager to return to previous functionality mainly because we couldn’t see the aliases with the old tool (there was a newer one to see them but it annoyed others).

My note at the time said:
You can’t see the aliases with ifconfig but can with nm-tool

This link is the one I found that helped me and I added comments when I worked on it that may be helpful:

Anyone running virtual IPs in RHEL/Centos 7? I set up a new desktop and did my usual eth0 -> eth0:1 vip setup (OK so it's enp0s25 -> enp0s25:1) and a restarting of NetworkManager shows no new virtual interface.
