Not any more. Nice. (Clariion can take 15-20 minutes to come all > the way back up on a hard power fail; 7609 can take 10 minutes if not > longer. Bladecenter takes 5 at most.) our switches also take long time to be up. and our servers are booting fast. I don't know what's the problem with the situation. with network-scripts, the network settings is ready early. when physical network goes up, the related service is up too. maybe your situation need dynamic logic like dhcp or some kind of timeout so can not wait for long time? our servers may have team,bridge,vlan and complex routing. with static configuration they work fine. I don't want them up/down with network cable. I want them always setup and ready. I don't know if NetworkManager can handle these correctly with dynamic logic now. in early EL7 days, I have a teamd dependency problem. with network-scrips it can be fixed immediately . but with NetworkManager it is hard to fix. I am afraid these kind of bugs. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1264175
