This morning one of our firewall machines got reboot after a power failure. After startup we were not able to remotely login: For some reason eth0 (internal) and eth1 (external) got mixed up. Until SuSE 9.0 yast created for each interface a file named ifcfg-eth0, ifcfg-eth1 etc. SuSE 9.1 uses something like ifcfg-eth-id-00:0d:87:74:21:f3, ifcfg-eth-id-00:0d:87:74:21:f4 - ifconfig shows eth0 and eth1 though. My silly question is: How does ifup know on bootup which of these interfaces should be eth0 or eth1? Do I have to add a line like ETHERDEVICE=eth0 in ifcfg-eth-id-00:0d:87:74:21:f3 ?
