dell R720 issue
Hi can you help please to my customer with this issue? The servers we use have 4 NIC's 2 X 1Gig 2 X 10Gig Unlike any other hw we had in the past, the Linux detects the ports as follow - eth0 = 10G #1 eth1 = 10G #2 eth2 = 1G #3 eth3 = 1G #4 On another HW it is detected as follow - eth0 = 1G #3 eth1 = 1G #4 eth2= 10G #1 eth3 = 10G #2 This fact ( 10 G before 1G ) complicates the installation, please check with dell if it’s possible to change the order of the Nics. Anther example - In the Idrac we see - NIC.Integrated.1-1-1 Ethernet = C8:1F:66:ED:02:35

Hi lotan vigiser,
It has to do with the order the system is initializing the NICs. What distro are you using? You may be able to change the order in the OS. Editing udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules to change the order. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1007285

Hey Josh Craig,
I want to elaborate Lotan's question.
We use RHEL 6.5 and we need a pre-install option to change the NICs order.
Is there such an option?
Thanks,
Aviv

RHEL 6 names nics by their physical location, not by what is enumerated first, so you don't need to do anything to make it work. https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/appe-Consistent_Network_Device_Naming.html
