Upgrade from Opensuse 13.2 to leap 42.2 opensuse will not apply IP address to 2nd network card

I apologize if this is a duplicate but did not find another article with my exact problem.
I am using wicked.
I have configured 2 NICs with static IP’s using Yast.
When running wicked on opensuse 13.2, I was able to have both nics configured and running.
I did a fresh install of Leap 42.2 on same hardware ( complete reformat of drives ) and it refuses to
apply an IP address to more than 1 nic at a time.

eth1 is configured to be use the static IP of 10.1.10.21

I have flipped ip’s on the nics and same issue.
I never had this issue on opensuse 13.2 and I used wicked there as well.

I have confirmed that I don’t have any IP collisions.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  1. Have you verified that your NIC is actively connected to a network?
    Inspect activity light on NIC, should generally be a green diode, if no traffic then should be steady, not blinking.

  2. How are you configuring your NIC?
    Are you using YaST?
