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?
Cheers,
Niki
