I have eight nics and its getting difficult to me which MAC id represents which physical port. Any way to find this?
Have a look at the "-p" option to ethtool
It would be useful (to me) if I can use mac address instead of interface name in -p option.
After some thought, I think what I'd do is plug a cable into them in, one at a time, and use ethtool to find the one, and only one, that says "link detected", and you've got it.
