 Posted: Fri Feb 19, 2021 11:58 am Post subject: Renaming network interfaces on the Raspberry Pi [solved] |
 |
|
On my amd64 desktop machines, I have renamed all of the ethernet intefaces to net0 with a udev rule like this:
| Code: |
ACTION=="add", KERNELS=="0000:00:20.0", SUBSYSTEM=="net", NAME="net0"
|
The identifier "0000:00:20.0" comes from /sys/devices/pci0000\:00/ (with lspci showing the correct device).
I would like to carry over this naming scheme on the Raspberry Pi. I searched for assigning a fixed name to a network interface, and found dozens of results, but they all assumed systemd, which I wont have.
Does anyone know a way to do this with a udev rule? Thank you in advance.

curmudgeon,
A long time ago udev used to name interfaces based on the MAC address.
That should still work.
A minor wrinkle on the Pi is that the MAC address is not fixed, so you may need no set the MAC address before you can set the interface name based on it.

Found it (actually made a guess, and it worked):
| Code: |
ACTION=="add", KERNELS=="fd580000.ethernet", SUBSYSTEM=="net", NAME="net0"

I do believe there is a command line option for this.
Part of udev I think. |
