MAC addresses messed up.. bug... how do I reset them

[dopeytree]

Server has 3 nics but a bug has made the nic's mac addresses get mixed up so now it thinks the 2.5gb card is the eth0 which means I can't login...

 

I have have a look on the key and have found network-rules.cfg

 

 

# PCI device 0x10ec:0x8125 (r8169)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="88:c9:b3:b0:a9:91", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1"

# PCI device 0x8086:0x15fa (e1000e)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="d8:5e:d3:77:e4:25", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth2"

# PCI device 0x10ec:0x8125 (r8169)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="88:c9:b3:b0:a9:90", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"

 

 

will try this

 

# PCI device 0x10ec:0x8125 (r8169)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="88:c9:b3:b0:a9:91", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth2"

# PCI device 0x8086:0x15fa (e1000e)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="d8:5e:d3:77:e4:25", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"

# PCI device 0x10ec:0x8125 (r8169)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="88:c9:b3:b0:a9:90", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1"

Delete network-rules.cfg and it will be recreated, eth0 will be the one used for management.

[dopeytree]

does it default to dhcp ip?

[JorgeB]

That's controlled by network.cfg, you can also delete/rename that one if you want to go back to default DHCP.

[dopeytree]

ok so it does remake network-rules.crg but it doesn't remake network.crg

 

and the re-made network-rules.crg it still messing up the mac addresses it's a bug. Not sure why it keeps doing it.

 

this is what it generated in the new file.

 

I'm wanting to connect to the d8 mac address which is the built in 1gig. the other 2 are 2.5gbe for fidlying with later on.

 

# PCI device 0x10ec:0x8125 (r8169)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="88:c9:b3:b0:a9:90", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"

# PCI device 0x10ec:0x8125 (r8169)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="88:c9:b3:b0:a9:91", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1"

# PCI device 0x8086:0x15fa (e1000e)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="d8:5e:d3:77:e4:25", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth2"

 

This is whats in the network one

Is there anything I should be changing?

I tried just pulling the 2.5gbe card out but didnt seem to make any difference.

Ok... perhaps its as simple as the order they are in that file.

Anyway all back in now.

 

Perhaps something happened to my pfSense router aswell as at the moment I'm back onto the main ISP's router.

 

Currently copying over data from an old disk to the SSD cache. Speed says its going at around 970MB/s not quite sure how it's doing it but I like it.

 

Thanks for pointing me to the solution. I actually quite like tinkering.
