OK, when I start/stop the network service, I use the following command....

[root at devserver]# /etc/init.d/network stop
    Stopping network (via systemctrl)


[root at devserver]# /etc/init.d/network start
    Starting network (via systemctrl)

Then I run the commands that you gave earlier after starting fails...


This is the result..

network.service loaded failed failed LSB: Bring up/down networking
