Bringing up interface eth0: Error: No suitable device found: no device found for connection 'System eth0'. [FAILED]

error¶

Configure the IP of the virtual machine to restart the network card: service network restart Error message:

The error message is as follows:

[root@localhost network-scripts]# vim ifcfg-eth0
[root@localhost network-scripts]# 
[root@localhost network-scripts]# service network restart
Shutting down loopback interface:                          [  OK  ]

                                                           [FAILED]

reason and solution¶

This problem occurs because the actual network card assigned to the virtual machine does not match the network card information in the configuration file.

1. The actual network card information allocated by the virtual machine is: [HWaddr 00:0C:29:7F:B6:FF]

root@localhost /]# ifconfig
eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0C:29:7F:B6:FF  
          inet6 addr: fe80::20c:29ff:fe7f:b6ff/64 Scope:Link

2 The network card information in the configuration file is:

vim /etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-eth

DEVICE="eth0"
BOOTPROTO="static"
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL="yes"
BOOTPROTO="dhcp"
HWADDR="00:0C:29:7F:B6:8A"
IPV6INIT="yes"
NM_CONTROLLED="yes"
ONBOOT="yes"
TYPE="Ethernet"
UUID="5c4e89fb-eced-4d66-962a-e5f6e565ec26"
IPADDR="192.168.25.135"
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
GATEWAY="192.168.25.1"
DNS1="192.168.25.1"

Modification method: The above configuration files are configured according to the actual network card configuration of the virtual machine, namely:

HWADDR="00:0C:29:7F:B6:8A" is modified to HWADDR="00:0C:29:7F:B6:FF"

Save and exit

Restart the network card: service network restart
