Specify Devices to Use For eth0 and eth1, Ethernet Naming Option 5
If you are satisfied with the interfaces being automatically assigned and only need to set up
eth0 and perhaps eth1, and do not want to use the interactive method (option 4), you can use
option 5. Option 5 provides a way to specify which devices to use for eth0 and optionally eth1.
This example shows the assigning of the interfaces.
The eth-setup options, or "forms": default, least-ports, most-ports, pxe, <URL>, url,
Note!
HW address; are described in this section.
Example (input shown in bold):
Enter 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 : 5
==============================================================
Current ethernet device naming:
eth0
PCI address: 0000:01:00.0
Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 06)
eth1
PCI address: 0000:01:00.1
Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 06)
eth10
PCI address: 0000:04:00.0
inet addr: 172.12.172.238
Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5721 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 11)
eth11
PCI address: 0000:05:00.0
Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5721 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 11)
==============================================================
Enter 0 to not make any ethernet device naming changes. Otherwise enter the
specification for eth0, and optionally eth1, and then press return to
generate the new port to name mapping. For an explanation of the
specifications that can be used enter 'help'.
Enter 0, help or the spec >

When "default" is specified, eth0 and eth1 are assigned in the order that the
devices are on the PCI bus. eth0 might not be assigned to the port that you
want it to be. The other options allow you to specify which port to use as
eth0 (and eth1).
