got it working, below is what I did, I do have some alias configs on net0 I didnt include. Also changed any interface references in my iptables rules (not included): [root@xxxxx ]# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules # This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_net_rules # program run by the persistent-net-generator.rules rules file. # # You can modify it, as long as you keep each rule on a single line. SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="net0" SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="net4" SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="net5" [root@xxxxx ]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-net0 # Intel Corporation 80003ES2LAN Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) DEVICE=net0 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=static ...other stuff the same... [root@xxxxx ]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-net4 # Intel Corporation 80003ES2LAN Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) DEVICE=net4 BOOTPROTO=static ...other stuff the same... [root@xxxxx]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-net5 DEVICE=net5 BOOTPROTO=static ...other stuff the same...
