NIC assignment changes after each reboot

[altiport]

Hello,

I'm running Zentyal 7.0 on an HP Microserver Gen7.

After a clean installation of 7.0, every time I reboot the server, the names of the NICs swap (i.e. Eth0 becomes Eth1, Eth1 becomes Eth2 and Eth2 becomes Eth0, but not always in that order).  The implication is that I need to rearrange the interface and gateways settings and set up DHCP from the beginning.

Is that an issue related to my hardware or to the Zentyal installation?

Thanks

Hi,

This issue is often a combination of hardware and Linux behavior, rather than a specific flaw in the Zentyal installation. Implementing persistent udev rules is often the most effective solution to ensure that your NICs maintain consistent naming across reboots.
