[SOLVED] Set static IP on Centos7

Issue

I have a CentOS7 box that I need to change from DHCP to Static IP. I am using the ansible code below and I keep getting message. I have installed the required packages for this to work, so I dont think that is the issue.

"FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Error: Failed to modify connection 'System ens192': No such method 'Update2'\n", "name": "System ens192", "rc": 1}"

I know the ifname is "ens192" not sure about the conn_name. I did a "nmcli connection show" and a "nmcli device show" but none of them seem to work.

I have tried for the conn_name "ens192, System ens192, my-en192" and I get the same error message just with the different conn_names.

I would ultimately like to have these values set by the gathering facts procedure, but not sure how to do this?

  - name: Add an Ethernet connection with static IP configuration
    nmcli:
    conn_name: ens192
    ifname: ens192
    type: ethernet
    ip4: 192.0.2.100/24
    gw4: 192.0.2.1
    state: present

Solution

"nmcli connection show" and a "nmcli device show" but none of them seem to work

It should work.

Did you install dependancies for this module? If not you can install them with ansible this way:

  - name: install needed network manager libs
    package:
      name:
        - NetworkManager-glib
        - nm-connection-editor
        - libsemanage-python
        - policycoreutils-python
      state: present

Or just yum install them.
