Even with static configurations, I’ve had this problem.  At least in RHEL6, if 
the switch doesn’t indicate the interface is up during boot, the ‘network’ 
service detects the down interface and never starts the network service.  full 
stop.  I’ve also seen this happen when the switch has a broadcast storm or some 
other networking problem and doesn’t become active for more than a minute after 
boot.  Often I’ll have to add a line to the ifcfg-* script to have it just 
sleep for 60 seconds before even trying to activate the interface, when I know 
the system is on a switch that takes a long time to perform its splay tree 
calculation.  (Many of my systems are on networks I have no control over, so I 
have to just work around problems like this.)

I’ve always used NM in RHEL7 so I’m not aware if systemd is smart about dynamic 
interface activation of the ‘network’ service.  NM in RHEL7 is so much better 
than in RHEL6 so I haven’t really needed anything else.
