Why do I get "Active: inactive (dead)" message Fedora Server?

2

I have just installed Fedora24 server as a VM with 5 NICs. I have also assigned each NIC a static IP via ifcfg files

Issuing ifconfig , all NICs are displayed with their correct IPs

However , when I issue

systemctl status network.service

I get the first message

First Message

and when I issue

systemctl restart network.service

followed by:

systemctl status network.service

I get this message

Second Message

How can I resolve this?

Have you masked/disabled NetworkManager? – mattdm – 2016-11-21T16:10:50.200

systemctl status network is networkd if oyu have not installed networkd you will get that NetworkManager != networkd – linuxdev2013 – 2017-04-05T18:16:41.450
