Hi all: I have an student's lab with 120+ PC as Ubuntu 12.04 fat clients Some of those PC's have two network interfaces - The first one to boot, tftp and nbd connections - The second one for students practices, classes, demos and so
I have two problems related: - First one: I need to make sure that the interface that receives bootp/tftp/nbd is named as "eth0" I've properly setup 70-persistent-net.rules in udev for every PC but seems to be ignored: interface naming takes place before udev is started, and the rules file is ignored - Second one: need that second interface (eth1) get NOT handled anyway by mean of NetworkManager. I can see that boot interface is set to "manual" in /etc/network/interfaces, but no other action is taken on additional interfaces. Moreover: seems that /etc/network/interfaces is rebuilt at startup With Ubuntu 10.04 ltsp I solved issue 1 by mean of editting /usr/share/initramfs-tools/init and force loading network modules in proper order before starting udev. But these trick doesn't work with 12.04 kernels: modules are loaded, but kernel ignores module loading order when initializing devices To solve 2nd issue, i've just removed NetworkManager in fat client, but this seems a bit dirty ( not really: students have no reason to connect bluetooth neither wifi nor Mobile devices to PC's ) Any ideas? propper naming of eth* interfaces is a "must be" for us, due to tons of scripts, sudo'd commands and tools required by the students Thanks in advance Juan Antonio ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
