\nDown the device before changing any files with the command # ifdown dev12345<\/code>. Also remove the kernel module which is
\nreferenced against this device in the \/etc\/modprobe.conf<\/code>. In this example there is a line which has “alias dev12345
\ne1000<\/code>“, so perform “#rmmod e1000<\/code>“. It may also be necessary to run “#ifdown<\/code> ” on any other network devices using this
\nkernel module. If this step is skipped it may be necessary to undo any file name changes including setting up the
\nifcfg-dev12345<\/code> file as mentioned below.
\nModify the file \/etc\/sysconfig\/hwconf<\/code> replacing ifcfg-dev12345<\/code> with ifcfg-eth0<\/code>. If this file doesn’t exist ignore this
\nstep as this file is simply a generated file from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation program:
\nclass: NETWORK
\nbus: PCI
\ndetached: 0
\ndevice: eth0<\/code>
\nModify the file \/etc\/modprobe.conf<\/code> replacing ifcfg-dev12345<\/code> with ifcfg-eth0<\/code>:
\nalias eth0 e1000<\/code>
\nIn the directory \/etc\/sysconfig\/network-scripts\/<\/code> rename the file ifcfg-dev12345<\/code> to ifcfg-eth0<\/code>. Edit this file replacing
\nifcfg-dev12345<\/code> with ifcfg-eth0<\/code>:
\nDEVICE=eth0<\/code>
\nIf the system-config-network<\/code>* tools were used, it may be necessary to remove any file referencing the old device in the
\n\/etc\/sysconfig\/networking directory<\/code>. ie.
\n# find \/etc\/sysconfig\/networking -name ifcfg-dev12345<\/code>
\n\/etc\/sysconfig\/networking\/profiles\/default\/ifcfg-dev12345<\/code>
\n\/etc\/sysconfig\/networking\/devices\/ifcfg-dev12345<\/code>
\n# rm \/etc\/sysconfig\/networking\/profiles\/default\/ifcfg-dev12345<\/code>
\n# rm \/etc\/sysconfig\/networking\/devices\/ifcfg-dev12345<\/code>
\nAt this stage it is now possible to up eth0 with the command # ifup eth0<\/code>.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
