Summary0007483: ifup script does not work with dummy interface
Descriptionifcfg-dummy0 copied from CentOS 6.5 system which is working in production, ifup dummy0 should bring up dummy0 interface, but it does not.
Steps To Reproduceifcfg-dummy0:

DEVICE=dummy0
BOOTPROTO=none
IPV6INIT=no
NAME="dummy0"
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
USERCTL=no
BRIDGE=br192_168_116

ifcfg-br192_168_116

DEVICE=br192_168_116
BOOTPROTO=none
DEFROUTE="yes"
IPADDR=192.168.116.1
NAME="System 192_168_116"
ONBOOT=yes
PREFIX=24
TYPE=Bridge
USERCTL=no
IPV6INIT=no

[root@centos7 network-scripts]# LANG=C ifup dummy0
Error: no device found for connection 'dummy0'.

Expected behaviour: Like CentOS 6.5 interface dummy0 should appear and come up.

# cat /etc/modprobe.d/dummy.conf
alias dummy0 dummy
options dummy numdummies=3

[root@centos7 network-scripts]# lsmod |grep dummy
[root@centos7 network-scripts]# ip link set dummy0 up
[root@centos7 network-scripts]# lsmod |grep dummy
dummy 12960 0
[root@centos7 network-scripts]# ifconfig dummy0
dummy0: flags=195<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,NOARP> mtu 1500
        inet6 fe80::44dd:58ff:fea9:4fd2 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link>
        ether 46:dd:58:a9:4f:d2 txqueuelen 0 (Ethernet)

        TX packets 3 bytes 210 (210.0 B)

Module config is ok, exactly 3 dummy interfaces are available as configured in dummy.conf

NM_CONTROLLED="no"

seems to solve that. Is that behavior is intended?

 Manually using the scripts belonging to the network service ( i.e. those from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts) while NetworkManager is in use is not really supported . One can say that the 2 systems "fight" for the same resources and to put it in polite words, the result is not always the intended one.
I suggest that you try to use the nmcli interface.
