Yes but if your changing the mac and the device then its not static, its changing. I need eth0 to always be on the same port (port0) (vlan taggging, security reasons etc) so when I update/install and port0 is now being detected as eth1, my network is screwed. I need a way to say port0 == eth0 no matter what order they are detected in. ifrename does it, but it requires stopping a bunch of stuff, running it and then restarting a bunch of stuff. Adding the command into the /etc/rc.sysinit file doesn't work (the interfaces appear to be already initialized). Adding the MACADDR option is supposed to set the mac from what I can tell, but that isnt the case on rhel 5 on my e1000 nic. On 5/3/07, Stephen Carville <stephen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:

I have a similar problem on the Dell 2950. I add the HWADDR and change the DEVICE in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 DEVICE=eth1 BOOTPROTO=static HWADDR=00:13:72:65:DB:29 IPADDR=10.207.52.220 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet > Regards. > > On 5/3/07, McDougall, Marshall (FSH) <Marshall.McDougall@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >> I am in the midst of building several new servers using RHEL4U4.
