Created a Xen bridge on F20 and networking will not start on boot...

After troubleshooting I found that I need to run the following commands manually to start networking:

sudo ifup em1
sudo ifup xenbr0
sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.1

I want to have these run on boot so that I do not have to run them manually. How do I create a script for this?

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-em1:

TYPE="Ethernet"
BOOTPROTO=none
DEVICE="em1"
ONBOOT="yes"
HWADDR=A0:D3:C1:05:20:A0
BRIDGE=xenbr0
DELAY=0
NM_CONTROLLED=no

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-xenbr0:

DEVICE=xenbr0
TYPE=Bridge
BOOTPRO=none
IPADDR0=192.168.0.10
PREFIX0=16
GATEWAY0=192.168.0.1
DNS1=192.168.0.1
ONBOOT=yes
DELAY=0
NM_CONTROLLED=no
BRIDGE_STP=on

Try BOOTPROTO=static instead of BOOTPRO=none in ifcfg-zenbr0

I do believe that was one of the things I attempted but will try again......just tried...does not fix the issue.

@GobleSt - You shouldn't have changed it back if you tried BOOTPROTO before. BOOTPRO is gibberish.

doh! I just tried "static" did not even catch the syntax error....!!! ...but alas, I tried again and still no go. Here is my CURRENT /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-xenbr0:

DEVICE="xenbr0"
TYPE="Bridge"
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR0=192.168.0.10
PREFIX0=16
GATEWAY0=192.168.0.1
DNS1=192.168.0.1
ONBOOT=yes
DELAY=0
NM_CONTROLLED=no
BRIDGE_STP=on

Try removing the quotes from Type=. You'd think it would work, but shrug - my bridges don't have that, and they work :)

The issue appears to be fixed by allowing network manager to handle it...

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-em1:

TYPE="Ethernet"
BOOTPROTO="none"
DEFROUTE="yes"
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL="no"
NAME="em1"
UUID="5dfe2212-e3e4-485a-8290-6f6ab094080d"
ONBOOT="yes"
HWADDR="A0:D3:C1:05:20:A0"
PEERDNS="yes"
PEERROUTES="yes"
BRIDGE="xenbr0"
NM_CONTROLLED="yes"
DELAY="0"

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-xenbr0:

DEVICE="xenbr0"
TYPE="Bridge"
BOOTPROTO="none"
IPADDR="192.168.0.10"
NETMASK="255.255.0.0"
GATEWAY="192.168.0.1"
DNS1="192.168.0.1"
ONBOOT="yes"
NM_CONTROLLED="yes"
BRIDGE_STP="on
