It can be difficult to force a device into being eth0 when there's already another eth0. For this reason, when I need to force ethernet adapters into a specific order, I name them other things -- 'wan' or 'lan0' for instance.
When -- not if -- something new autodefaults to eth0, it won't "eat" the names you're using, making the order you want impossible from the get-go.

Hi all,
I'm looking to cover a corner case for an upcoming test cycle. Is there a way to boot a RedHat Advanced Server 4 (update 3) installed on a Power PC machine to use a 32 bit kernel? This would be similar to what is done here -> https://www.unix.com/aix/26204-aix-platform.html

shorewall-maclist
SHOREWALL-MACLIST(5) [FIXME: manual] SHOREWALL-MACLIST(5)
NAME
maclist - Shorewall MAC Verification file
SYNOPSIS
/etc/shorewall/maclist
DESCRIPTION
This file is used to define the MAC addresses and optionally their associated IP addresses to be allowed to use the specified interface.
The feature is enabled by using the maclist option in the shorewall-interfaces[1](5) or shorewall-hosts[2](5) configuration file.
The columns in the file are as follows (where the column name is followed by a different name in parentheses, the different name is used in
the alternate specification syntax).
DISPOSITION - {ACCEPT|DROP|REJECT}[:log-level]
ACCEPT or DROP (if MACLIST_TABLE=filter in shorewall.conf[3](5), then REJECT is also allowed). If specified, the log-level causes
packets matching the rule to be logged at that level.
INTERFACE - interface
Network interface to a host.
MAC - address
MAC address of the host -- you do not need to use the Shorewall format for MAC addresses here. If IP ADDRESSESES is supplied then MAC
can be supplied as a dash (-)
IP ADDRESSES (addresses) - [address[,address]...]
Optional - if specified, both the MAC and IP address must match. This column can contain a comma-separated list of host and/or subnet
addresses. If your kernel and iptables have iprange match support then IP address ranges are also allowed. Similarly, if your kernel
and iptables include ipset support than set names (prefixed by "+") are also allowed.
