Host-only network adapter (enp0s8) not starting on boot in CentOS7

I've installed CentOS7 in virtual box. I've 2 network cards - one host-only (vboxnet0) adapter enp0s8 (which I want to be static) and the other the NAT adapter enp0s3. The host-only adapter never comes active on boot and I've to always run ifup to bring it up. NAT is active on boot.



I've already added ONBOOT="yes" in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp0s8. The contents of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp0s8 is given below:



TYPE=Ethernet
BOOTPROTO="static"

What might be the problem?

  • I know I am late to this party. I had a similar problem with a host-only adapter in Centos7. It turned out that the Mac address in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp0s8 (HWADDR="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx") was different to that shown in the VirtualBox GUI (Centos7-> Settings-> Network -> Adapter2 -> Advanced -> Mac address). Got the inspiration when reading your question :)

Change the Host-only interface from enp0s8 to enp0s9. Enp0s8 is innet always, enp0s9 is the host-only. It will work.
