Hi
For years (long time) I had " net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0 " and it worked as it should (6.X, 7.X)
I never had any problems, until yesterday.
I started upgrading my machines and I stopped after the first one showed
issues and I will not update all the other ones until this is sorted.
I have problems keeping the interfaces in order as I wanted them to be assigned
to eth0, eth1 .. eth4
Every reboot the order of eth1, eth2 and eth3 change BUT eth0 stays.
Now when I read this
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/networking_guide/sec-understanding_the_device_renaming_procedure
then I am doing the correct thing by adding the MAC as in so:
DEVICE=eth0
IPADDR=...
...
GATEWAY=...
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
USERCTL=no
NOZEROCONF=true
TYPE=Ethernet
NM_CONTROLLED=no
HWADDR=01:23:45:67:78:9a
This works for eth0 but all the other ones the kernel complains
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-eth: Device eth[1,2,3] has different MAC address than expected, ignoring
NOTE: this worked until yesterday, I could reboot, update whatever
it always came up in the same way and I also did not need to swap the
network cables EVERY time ... Even without HWADDR/MAX adddress I
have to swap the cables every time (eth[1,2,3]).
Did something change in the kernel/networking/udev I am not aware of?
What am I doing wrong all over sudden?
