[systemd-devel] dependency failed for the ifup managed network interface <blah>

[Paul Young]

Hi,

The entire error message reads like this:

Dependency failed for ifup managed network interface eth4.
-- Subject: Unit network at eth4.service has failed
-- Defined-By: systemd
-- Support: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
-- Documentation: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/catalog/be02cf6855d248ba40df7e9d
--
-- Unit network at eth4.service has failed.
--
-- The result is dependency

So as you can see I simply followed what was suggest in the error message.

Thanks

"ifup" is not a systemd thing, neither are zabbix or vmware. Please ask the vendors of your VM image for help, or at least the distro folks. But this is not the right place. Sorry.
