Hello,
I had a query from a customer who has four network interfaces in
his server and while doing a kickstart, he want interfaces with
particular MAC addresses get assigned the name eth0, eth1 etc..
ie.. He wants the interface with MAC '00:14:5E:B3:56:F4' be eth0,
interface with MAC '00:14:5E:A7:0B:B8' be eth1 and so on..
I was only able to locate the directives for the 'network' section
in kickstart, specified below. Are there any directives available
to configure MAC addresses or is there a work around for this.
The only way to do configuration that kickstart can't do directly, is
to write the configuration files yourself from a %post script
%post
cat <<END > /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
HWADDR= 00:14:5E:B3:56:F4
IPADDR=192.168.0.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes
END
cat <<END > /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
HWADDR= 00:14:5E:A7:0B:B8
IPADDR=192.168.1.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes
END
