Changing eth3 to read eth0 - Linux

aojmoj · #1 (**permalink**) 05-15-2008

Hello everyone I recently clone a system and doing so it gave my nics cards id's of eth3 and eth4 instead of eth0 and eth1. Is there a config file or something out there where I can change these back? All help will be appreciated.

There's a number of ways that could happen, and a number of places you could try look for something to fix. Try posting the relevant part of dmesg here for a start.

Thanks for the help I found out that it had renamed the eth0, 1. I made the change in /etc/udev/rules.d in the 30_net_persistent_names_rules. I just change eth3 to 0 and eth4 to1. Everthing it a OK. Thank You.
