Restart Network Services and Interfaces on NCNs

Interfaces within the network stack can be reloaded or reset to fix wedged interfaces. The NCNs have network device names set during first boot. The names vary based on the available hardware. For more information, see NCN Networking. Any process covered on this page will be covered by the installer.

The use cases for resetting services:

Interfaces not showing up
IP Addresses not applying
Member/children interfaces not being included

Command Reference
- Check interface status (up/down/broken)
- Show routing and status for all devices
- Print real devices (ignore no-device)
- Show the currently enabled network service (Wicked or Network Manager)

Restart Network Services

There are a few daemons that make up the SUSE network stack. The following are sorted by safest to touch relative to keeping an SSH connection up.

wickedd.service: The daemons handling each interface. Resetting this clears stale configuration. This command restarts the wickedd service without reconfiguring the network interfaces.
```
ncn# systemctl restart wickedd
```
wicked.service: The overarching service for spawning daemons and manipulating interface configuration. Resetting this reloads daemons and configuration. This command restarts the wicked service which will respawns daemons and reconfigure the network.
```
ncn# systemctl restart wicked
```
network.service: Responsible for network configuration per interface; This does not reload wicked. This command restarts the network interface configuration, but leaves wicked daemons alone.

NOTE: Commonly the problem exists within wicked. This is a last resort in the event the configuration is so bad wicked cannot handle it.
```
# Restart the network interface configuration, but leaves wicked daemons alone.
ncn# systemctl restart network
```

Command Reference

Check interface status (up/down/broken)
```
ncn# wicked ifstatus
```
