Hi,
Tonight I upgraded two CentOS 8 boxes to CentOS 8.1 (1911). Then after a reboot of the first server the network was unavailable. In IPMI console everything except the network was looking good. Network was unreachable. No errors in NetworkManager. I also restarted NetworkManager, but it did not help. Then I discovered that the default gateway suddenly was missing.
Then I rebooted the server one more time, but network was still down.
Then both myself and a technician in my datcenter was debugging this (I had to wake him up in the middle of the night, costing me a lot of money), without finding any reason for why the default gateway was missing after reboot.
Then we rebooted the server a third time, and all of a sudden the problem was gone and the default gateway was back. [...cut...]
In order to determine what is going on you need to give a lot more information.
- How do these boxes get their network information? DHCP or static
- If they are static, what controls the setting of ips:
NetworkManager or network-scripts 3. If they are static, how are they set in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ 4. Do the files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts list a GATEWAY= 5. If you are using network-manager, what does nmtui or the graphical tool say the gateway or default route is?
Here is answers to your list. I have anonymized the some of the data:
Static ip configuration
This should be NetworkManager.
nmcli output:
eno1: connected to eno1 inet4 1.1.1.234/29 route4 1.1.1.232/29 route4 0.0.0.0/0
eno2: connected to eno2 inet4 192.168.0.5/24 route4 192.168.0.0/24

Anything in the logs about what was going on? If you reboot this server again and again, does the problem show up again?
