Oh, do tell.
RHEL's basic network configuration stuff hasn't changed in over a
decade; RHEL4, RHEL5, RHEL6, and RHEL7 all use NetworkManager by default.
Meanwhile, you can disable NetworkManager (on a per-interface basis,
systemwide, or uninstall it altogether) in favor of using RH's
essentially-unchanged-for-two-decades classic initscripts, which are
*still* included (and fully supported) even with bleeding edge Fedora
Rawhide, with no plans to change.
Indeed, RHEL/Fedora's NetworkManager build has always been configured to
store its settings in the classic RH /etc/sysconfig/network
format, so you can freely switch between using NetworkManager and not.
ItJustWorks(tm).
