CentOS - Apr 2015 - C7 systemd and network configuration

Hi all,

I used to manage network through /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*
Most of my use case are vlans (ie: eth0.1) an aliases (ie: eth1:3)
My context in headless VMs (no DE, no Xorg, no GUI)

With CentOS7 and systemd: is it still managed with 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* ?

For the mount component, I found that systemd kind of "sources" 
/etc/fstab and converts it to something for it (so, no worry about 
fstab), but how about networking?

Thanks.

Networking isn't really controlled by systemd but by NetworkManager. I
usually just yum remove NetworkManager* and then everything works just
as it did in CentOS 6.

Note:  NetworkManager is in CentOS6 too, and is part of the default
workstation install.  The NM in CentOS7 is a bit more polished than
the NM in CentOS6, but it is configured in the same way, using files
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ (using the ifcfg-rh NetworkManager
plugin).  In both cases, you can remove NM and use the 'network'
service instead.
