> Just to clarify: net.ifnames=0 disables the systemd/udev interface renaming feature. Well, I tried that and it didn't change the behavior, using 1 as a value did. Don't know if there's been tampering between freedesktop and Ubuntu 14.04LTS but that was my experience. > Also, if you add rules to /etc/udev/rules.d, you should rebuild your initrd. Thanks for the information. I didn't and it has been working for a while (through reboots), what bad thing(s) may happen if I don't? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gordon Messmer" <gordon.messmer@xxxxxxxxx> To: "CentOS mailing list" <centos@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, February 1, 2016 11:26:38 AM Subject: Re: NICs order On 02/01/2016 07:00 AM, Leroy Tennison wrote: > The issue here may be systemd ... > Web documentation at freedesktop.org says net.ifnames needs to be set to zero, I found just the opposite but if it doesn't work for you try both before giving up. Just to clarify: net.ifnames=0 disables the systemd/udev interface renaming feature. biosdevname=0 disables the biosdevname interface renaming feature, which is completely separate. If you want the traditional, non-deterministic Linux interface naming, you must specify both. Also, if you add rules to /etc/udev/rules.d, you should rebuild your initrd. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos Confidentiality Notice | This email and any included attachments may be privileged, confidential and/or otherwise protected from disclosure.
