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.
*|network --device --bootproto
--ip --netmask
--gateway
--nameserver
--hostname
||--nodns|*
Any ideas...
Thanks in advance...
Cheers,

Hello,
Thank you everyone, for the quick responses.
I tried the configuration ( a little bit differently) as per Jason's
response, did the configuration in the %post section. Here is what i added :
------------
%post
mv /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 /root/ifcfg-eth0.back
touch /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
echo "DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
HWADDR=00:0C:29:CF:3D:1A
IPADDR=192.168.1.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes" >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
mv /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 /root/ifcfg-eth1.back
touch /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
echo "DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=static
HWADDR=00:0C:29:CF:3D:24
IPADDR=192.168.1.2
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes" >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
mv /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2 /root/ifcfg-eth2.back
touch /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2
echo "DEVICE=eth3
BOOTPROTO=static
HWADDR=00:0C:29:CF:3D:2E
IPADDR=192.168.1.3
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes" >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2
mv /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth3 /root/ifcfg-eth3.back
touch /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth3
echo "DEVICE=eth4
BOOTPROTO=static
HWADDR=00:0C:29:CF:3D:38
IPADDR=192.168.1.4
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes" >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth3
-----------------
This worked as intended and the system booted with the new
configuration. The customer has not yet updated us, and so i am waiting.
Thank you once again for all the responses.
