Even though it is not mandatory, it is good practice to exclude the Ethernet interfaces that will be used by the guest system running on Charon-PAR from being managed by the NetworkManager. This can be done for physical NICs dedicated to the guest operating system, or for virtual bridge and TAP configurations (that allow the host and the guest to share a physical interface).
In a network environment controlled by the NetworkManager, the NetworkManager—if configured accordingly—will create and manage the interface configuration files. This may create conflicts with the requirements of the Charon-PAR guest system. If this is the case, a manual configuration should be considered.
There are several options to prevent such problems:
...
Example of a minimal ifcfg-<interface> file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/:
...
NM_CONTROLLED=no |
Example of a minimal bridge configuration via ifcfg-<interface> files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/:
Bridge definition | Physical NIC | TAP interface |
---|---|---|
DEVICE=br_enp0s8 | DEVICE=enp0s8 | DEVICE=tap0_enp0s8 |
Please refer to your host system’s man-pages for additional information about the NetworkManager.
