I have eight nics and its getting difficult to me which MAC id represents which physical port. Any way to find this?
Unless you are 100% sure the nics detection follow a sequential order that matches the nics physical ports order, I think you will have to test them one at a time...

Not sure whether this is true for all operating systems, but in many systems I have come across the following ordering convention:
- Onboard NIC's get listed first, e.g. eth0, eth1.
- First PCI bus gets listsed next, starting at slot 1... e.g. eth1, eth2
Didn't happen
- If there are multiple interfaces per card then they are ordered in
increasing MAC address value.
Might be true but never tested. Planning to test this.
