RHEL 5.7 and IBM Network Interfaces


Hello,

I am new to RHEL but have over 15 years of Solaris and AIX knowledge and starting to get up to speed with RHEL installs.

I recently installed RHEL 5.7 on an IBM JS23x blade and noticed I have 6 interfaces, but the blade only has 2 physical ports. I assume these are virtual interfaces. Can I get rid of them and just plumb the 2 standard interfaces?

What's the deal here?.. lol

If you're seeing extra ports then they are actually there, try using 'ethtool <device>' to see which ones have a link.

And no, you probably don't want to try to get rid of them
