5.2.6 Updating the NIC configuration file in a Linux
environment
In order to prevent errors caused by changing network device names (eth<x>),
it is recommended to store the MAC address (hardware address) of a network
interface card in the related NIC configuration file of the Linux OS. When
replacing a network controller or the system board with onboard LAN
controllers in a server running Linux OS, the MAC address will change but not
automatically be updated in the definition file.
In order to prevent communication problems, it is necessary to update the
changed MAC address stored in the related ifcfg-eth<x> definition file.
Procedures may differ depending on your Linux OS or the definition file
on the client system. Use the following information as reference. Ask the
system administrator to change the definition file.
