I have a number of machines that have 4 NICs, two of which are actually
in use, running Centos 5. When they are rebooted, they seem to change
the eth interface names, assigning them in different orders. I'm a
little fuzzy on the details because they are at a remote location and I
can't access them easily - especially after the network breaks. Shouldn't:
alias eth0 bnx2
alias eth1 bnx2
alias eth2 e1000
alias eth3 e1000
in /etc/modprobe.conf always make the intel cards eth2 and 3?
Noop, this is done with ifcfg-ethX where X is the if number.
Create a /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 that look like this example:
DEVICE=eth0
HWADDR=00:01:23:45:67:89
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
IPADDR=192.168.1.154
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
and then create ifcfg-eth1, ifcfg-eth2, ifcfg-eth3
then do a "service network restart" to activate the settings.
