Thanks for the reply. It seems that the root of my problem was that the
connection defaulted to Automatic. Changing that to Manual seems to
have resolved the issue.

You need to probably configure it via network manager or via the
ifcfg-* files (making sure to find and set the correct variables to
tell network manager to keep its hands off ,or disable
network-manager in systemd).
I am still using the ifcfg files and disabling network manager and
will be on non-laptops while some variant of those ifcfg-* files
still work.
I generally never use ifconfig/ip addr except for a quick test/one
time emergency use since those settings do not survive reboot.
