eth1 exists because the /dev device was found on boot (you have 2 or more network interfaces).<div><br></div><div>eth12 does due to you not have 13+ nic&#39;s or did not map a network device to be eth12.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Hi,<br>
<br>
I don&#39;t have ifcfg-eth1 in my /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. But when<br>
I do ifconfig eth1 I can see output as below. If I do ifconfig eth12 ,<br>
I don&#39;t see anything which i am assume is normal.<br>
<br>
<br>
eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:24:E8:44:DB:CC<br>
          BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1<br>
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0<br>
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0<br>
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000<br>
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)<br>
          Interrupt:17 Memory:e8000000-e8012800<br>
<br>
<br>
Don&#39;t know why and how this is happening.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
Paras.<br>
