Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 SP1 –
Network Device Naming
The current x86 based servers support an increasing number of network interface
ports on the system board, in addition to add-in network adapters. Linux-based
operating systems name these interfaces as ethN. The naming of network
interfaces is currently nondeterministic and not governed by any standards in
terms of their relationship to the way the ports are configured on the system.
A naming mechanism that can convey meaning to the name of the network
interfaces based on the physical location of a network port in relation to the
intended system design is necessary. To achieve this, the system firmware has the
ability to communicate the intended order for network devices on the system
board to the operating system using standard mechanisms such as System
Management BIOS (SMBIOS) and Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
(ACPI).
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 SP1 implements a new naming scheme for network
interfaces on supported Dell PowerEdge servers. This document provides
information about the new naming scheme for the Red Had Enterprise Linux 6
SP1 environment.
