QUOTE[783533]: _"no new features or RFEs will be accepted for Network Initscript in the RHEL 7 timeframe. New features and RFEs are planned in NetworkManager. Regardless, defects and bug fixes will be allowed for both technologies. NetworkManager provides a flexible management interface with GUI, CLI, and TUI options for manageing local, remote, or even headless systems. It provides support for broad array of network interface types including Ethernet, InfiniBand IPoIB, VLANs, Bridges, Bonds, Teams, WiFi, WiMAX, WWAN, Bluetooth, VPN, and more."_ RHEL7 is 3.5 years old. Many of the final, missing features -- many of which were not supported (or well supported) in legacy scripts -- have already been added in Fedora, and several have been backported to RHEL7 updates (currently 7.4). E.g., OpenvSwitch was added in 7, and finally brings dynamic support very much needed in RHEV, OpenStack, OpenShift, etc... [1470282] I cannot warn people enough of the dangers of sticking with legacy scripts that do not work in modern Enterprises, and will be removed in distros as such. Debian is making the same moves, via various projects. - bjs [785333] "What's the difference between Network Initscript and NetworkManager in RHEL 7?" - https://access.redhat.com/solutions/783533 [1470282] "[RFE] create an OVS bridge with an IP-carrying port on top of another connection" - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1470282 -- Bryan J Smith - http://www.linkedin.com/in/bjsmith E-mail: b.j.smith at ieee.org or me at bjsmith.me _______________________________________________ lpi-examdev mailing list [email protected] http://list.lpi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lpi-examdev
