Hello @Antar
Welcome to the Linux.org forum, enjoy!
Don't know that I can be of much help to you. If you could give us a little more information on your system it may be of help in us helping you. Are you trying to connect via Lan or wireless? What is the card in the machine? Make and model of the machine.
All of that would be helpful.
Give us as much info as you can.

Looking at your PREFIX and DEVICE, the GATEWAY should probably be "172.16.30.1" and not "172.16.28.1". Also RHEL7 is end of life, meaning it's not getting anymore updates so it's not the smartest idea to be connecting a RHEL7 system to the internet. You should switch to RHEL8, 9 or 10 instead.

Hi @f33dm3bits . Now i've changed the GATEWAY 'ifconfig-virbr0' file as you've mentioned. As i am trying to install EDA tools which says it works best on Linux 7 versions. Still i am not able to access it.?

Share your ip configuration.
Code:
ip a
Show your route.
Code:
ip route
As well as ping your gateway and share the output.
Code:
ping -c3 172.16.30.1
Never heard of EDA, do you have a link?
 
Hi @f33dm3bits .. I am sharing all the details in the attachment, please check.

am sharing all the details in the attachment,
I'm not sure what is what with your setup. I'm a bit confused thought you were showing the network configuration of a vm before but seems you are showing the network configuration of a virtualization host. How do you expect a virtual bridge to work if the host doesn't have a working network interface. Share the output of the following, from the host so I think that's what you were sharing before by the looks of it?
Code:
lspci | egrep -i "network|ether"
Share a link of the software you are wanting to use?

Cadence tools support RHEL 7.4+, as mentioned
I am sending the attachment here
Looking at that table it also supports RHEL8 and RHEL9, I would go with RHEL9(or Rocky9) that way you have a newer kernel as well because right now it seems like the driver isn't loading because your network interface isn't showing up. Also because you don't want to be connecting an end of life os to the internet.
