Hi Folks First reports on the nameif applet, basically it does what one would expect, e.g. renaming the interfaces.
Prerequisites - The interface cannot be up when being renamed - There is no dynamic behaviour, but that was to be expected. - The interface order is kept, e.g. interface #12 remains #12 even when being renamed. This may confuse other programs like webconf. - There is no way to quickly reorder the interface names because of name collisions. This can be addressed by either iterating twice through a MAC list or by defining a long mactab which first gives the interface a temporary name or by using two different mactabs and running nameif twice. I tend to like the method with the long duplicate maclist best, as it is the most comprehensive method to implement and requites only a single run of nameif Here is the proposed format for /etc/mactab # give the interfaces temporary names to avoid naming clashes t-eth0 00:10:f3:08:4d:8b t-eth1 00:10:f3:08:4d:8c t-eth2 00:10:f3:08:4d:8d t-eth3 00:10:f3:08:4d:8e t-eth4 00:10:f3:08:4d:8f t-eth5 00:10:f3:08:4d:90 t-eth6 00:10:f3:08:4d:91 t-eth7 00:10:f3:08:4d:92 t-eth8 00:10:f3:08:4d:93 t-eth9 00:10:f3:08:4d:94 t-eth10 00:10:f3:08:4d:95 t-eth11 00:10:f3:08:4d:96 # now assign the final names to the interfaces eth0 00:10:f3:08:4d:8b eth1 00:10:f3:08:4d:8c eth2 00:10:f3:08:4d:8d eth3 00:10:f3:08:4d:8e eth4 00:10:f3:08:4d:8f eth5 00:10:f3:08:4d:90 eth6 00:10:f3:08:4d:91 eth7 00:10:f3:08:4d:92 eth8 00:10:f3:08:4d:93 eth9 00:10:f3:08:4d:94 eth10 00:10:f3:08:4d:95 eth11 00:10:f3:08:4d:96 cheers Erich
