Hi,I have a LAN server running CentOS 5.11 with two NICs eth0 and eth1. I'd like to swap the interface names, but I don't know how to go about that under CentOS. Here's what I would do on a Slackware server (I have one next to me in my office). Open /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and edit it: # PCI device 0x8086:/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0/0000:03:00.0 (e1000e) SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:22:64:8a:4c:c2", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1" # PCI device 0x8086:/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/0000:02:00.0 (e1000e) SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="2c:27:d7:15:54:a1", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0" To swap interfaces, I simply have to switch the respective NAME="ethX" attributes and restart the server. How would you do something similar on a machine running CentOS 5.11?
Have you tried swapping the HWADDR lines in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth1 ?
No idea if will work ... James Pearson _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
