January 4, 20242 yr Hi all, Currently I have a dual Gigabit LAN motherboard (Eth0 & Eth01), setup in Bonding mode 'active-backup', so if one goes down the other takes over. Static IP set and all works fine, solid 110MB/s network file transferring. I have purchased a 2.5Gbps PCI-E card, the goal is to have this as the main interface in Bonding mode 'active-backup' with one of the motherboard ports becoming the backup. I've installed the card and it shows up in devices fine, under network settings it shows as another interface 'eth122'. I'm a bit stuck now on how I can make this the main interface. So far I've added 'eth122' as a Bonding member and removed 'eth01', if I unplug 'eth0' it then falls to the 2.5G (eth122) and it works fine - 260-280MB/s network file transferring. The problem is I don't won't it to be the backup I want it to be the main interface. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction on the correct steps for this please?

January 5, 20242 yr Community Expert Solution Delete/rename /boot/config/network.cfg and network-rules.cfg, reboot and post diags if it's detected again as eth122

Can I restore the deleted cfg files to get it back online, or will that mess things up?

Sorry, my mistake, I had my DHCP locked down, so my server wouldn't get an address when the network cfg was reset. All working now, it automatically made the 2.5 card eth0 and the motherboard ports eth1/eth2, which is what I wanted. Thanks for the help.
