[SOLVED] Ifup eth0

GlennsPref · 12-21-2013, 03:09 AM

Hi, in Mageia 4 "ifup eth0" from a script won't work because the interface has been renamed enp5s0.

And eth1 has been renamed enp2s0u1!

I must of missed some thing, do we (collectively) need to change our sh files?

Well, I'm running Debian but these things are probably the same.
Check the file "/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules". Change the names to what you want. (NB change only the name.)
I have read people saying you can delete the file and it will be recreated correctly, personally I have no experience of this. Of course, if you want to try this then rename the file, don't delete it.

Hi, thanks for the quick responce.

The file you mention is missing from my new install (no updates applied yet).

but I found a backup...

/home/glenn/local/data/backup/backup-etc-sys/etc/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

Code:

# This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_net_rules
# program, run by the persistent-net-generator.rules rules file.
#
# You can modify it, as long as you keep each rule on a single
# line, and change only the value of the NAME= key.

# Drakx-net rule for eth0 (50:e5:49:b5:db:a0)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="50:e5:49:b5:db:a0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"

# Drakx-net rule for eth1 (00:e0:4c:03:38:9e)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:e0:4c:03:38:9e", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1"
~

I'll copy it. brb

Hi, copying the file allowed me to reconfigure the eth devices.

(remove devices from network center rebooted and added the 2 devices)

Now I have the familiar names for my firewall and proxy scripts.

Thanks to you.
