====== Interface Config ======
<color darkorange>Jan 2020</color>\\ 

----
**Introduction**
\\ 
\\ 
When using the M1 chassis, it should have been installed using the official .ISO, so this is applicable to both RX1 and MKSP installation.
\\ 
\\ 
Even though the interface configuration may look okay, there is an issue with the way the interfaces are installed, to remedy this you can run a small script that will recreate all of the configuration files.
\\ 
\\ 
The script <color #ed1c24>update_network_devices.sh</color> can be downloaded {{ :update_network_devices.zip |here}}:
\\ 
\\ 
To use the script, copy it to a folder that you have rights to use (/mfeng/home) and give the file exectue rights:
    chmod +x update_network_devices.sh
\\ 
Now run the file using the following command:
    ./update_network_devices.sh
\\ 
The script will create new ifcfg-ethx files depending on installed hardware (what NIC cards you have installed).
\\ 
\\ 
Navigate to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and edit ifcfg-eth0 (as sudo)
    sudo /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
\\ 
Now add all of your IP Details.
\\ 
\\ 
Alternatively you can configure the interfaces via nmtui or the front panel (might have to reboot to use the front panel)

===== Interface Script =====
<file>
#!/bin/sh

# Script to assign names and hardware IDs to ifcfg-net* files as well as turn on
# consistent NIC naming. This resolves the issue of NIC ports swapping around
# due to boot-time race conditions. It should be run manually once after upgrade
# if you have multiple NICs. However it will delete all network configuration
# and rename NICs to be net0, net1, etc, which is not supported by all software.
