Operating System Information

Enumeration of NICs

Linux operating system versions that use the udev kernel device manager
enumerate the NICs differently than earlier Linux versions that used the
devfs device manager. Although this does not affect system functionality,
when using Red Hat
Linux Enterprise Server 9 or 10 operating systems, the NICs are enumerated
in reverse: NIC1 is configured as eth1 instead of eth0, and NIC2 is configured
as eth0 instead of eth1. For information on how to change the default device
enumerations, see the "Network Interface Card Naming" white paper
available at linux.dell.com.
