In my server I have eth0 and eth1 (previously were em16, em17, but I hated it so I changed to the traditional approach). Each NIC port is connected to a different ISP. However, more often than not while moving things around I get the cables reversed so ETH0 goes to ISP2 and ETH0 goes to ISP2, or vice versa, ie the cables are interchanged. So... is there a way, in such situation, to manually (say, from a bash script) bring down both eth ports, and re-arrange those? (so that eth1 becomes eth0), and do so without a reboot?. I´d like to make eth0 and eth1 consistent regardless of mixed cabling so every time I bring down eth0 I know what isp I´m bringing down. What IP each port is connected to I can figure out via a query to www.whatismyip.com, but the question remains if it´s possible to change the naming of two ethernet ports without a reboot. What would be the best way? ethtool? TIA FC
While I do not know how to answer your question, I would LOVE to know how you got away from the emXY naming , to the traditional ethX naming. I have been trying to do so for a long time and no one on the list has been able to provide a working solution. Fixing /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules does not help at all.
