I also routinely disable NetworkManager on my servers, but do note that “nmtui” (and also nmcli) are NetworkManager clients, so you cannot use them if you have disabled NetworkManager.

In reply to David Penney.

If it works with bootptoto=static then stick with this option as long as it does the job right! As far as i know it should work also with none (none actually specifies that no boot-time protocol should be used but the IP value from IPADDR=1.2.3.4 variable should be updated for NIC at boot time).

Great article. The static IP configuration works great on my RHEL 7 server vm.

Just have a question. The Red Hat documentation says that BOOTPROTO should be set to “none”. My copy of your configuration only works with BOOTPROTO=static as you used in your example. If I set it to none the ip address does not get updated. I am having some discussions with our Linux sys admins since they are insisting that I should follow only the Red Had docs and this is a problem as I can’t make it work with BOOTPROTO=none. Is there a reason why it only works with BOOTPROTO=static?
