      Description of problem:

      Problematic section of the documentation:
          3.5.9. Installing RHCOS and starting the OpenShift Container Platform bootstrap process
               9. After the template deploys, deploy a VM for a machine in the cluster.
          https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/openshift_container_platform_installation/4.17/html/installing_on_vsphere/user-provisioned-infrastructure#installation-vsphere-machines_installing-restricted-networks-vsphere
      
      Issue:
          We show the following example in the documentation:
      
              export IPCFG="ip=<ip>::<gateway>:<netmask>:<hostname>:<iface>:none nameserver=srv1 [nameserver=srv2 [nameserver=srv3 [...]]]"
      
              export IPCFG="ip=192.168.100.101::192.168.100.254:255.255.255.0:::none nameserver=8.8.8.8"
      
          The problem is the interface `none`. In case the interface is set to none, everything works well until a secondary interface is added to the node as Day-2 operation. It cases the node not reachable. The issue is explained int KCS:
              Adding a secondary network interface to an OpenShift node causes the node IP to switch to the second interface
              https://access.redhat.com/solutions/6990481
      
      

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

      How reproducible:

      100%

      Expected results:
