Can't restart the network service on CentOS

Question

I am trying to restart my network on my CentOS server on a Raspberry PI 3 with

systemctl restart network

However, I am getting this

Job for network.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status network.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

[root@rpiserver ~]# systemctl status network.service

Hint: Some lines were ellipsized, use -l to show in full.

This is my ifcfg-eth0

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR=192.168.1.200
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1

Solution

Reset the present configurations in your eth0 network card

ip addr flush eth0

And try again

systemctl restart networking
