Nic eth0 - ethx assignment problem

[Celesabc]

Hi

Does anyone know how are nics assigned - eth0 - ethx
I am having problem with my distro randomly assigning nic to different ethx after each reboot. Sometimes nice 1 is eth0 and sometimes is eth3.


Where can I set this?


Thanks in advance.

Hi nmset,

I already have mac address defined in all if-interface; however I am still facing this problem.

Thanks for your help doh.

I am on CentOS

defining MAC at eth doesn't necessarily will give same eth-X every time

That would be news to me. I use this method on a system with 4 nics and it hasn't failed yet. Maybe you are doing something wrong?
