eve-ng management ip on eth3

Post by Theisgroup » Fri Jul 03, 2020 5:09 am

how do i change my eve-ng management to eth3? i have a 4 port bic card on my machine and eth0 and eth1 are 10G interface, i want to use those for vm connectivity. so eth3 and eth 4 are my managment nixs. i had it all set with ubuntu install, but after the initial setup, it moved my ip to pnet0, i'd like to move that to pnet3/eth3

OK i dig this thread up because I faced an issue with my server as well.
I had 4 interfaces, two of which were SFP+ (10GE) and the two others coper 1gb
the system was initially like this
eno1 - SFP+ -=> eth0
eno2 - SFP+ -=> eth1
eno3 - coper 1gb -=> eth3
eno4 - coper 1gb -=> eth4

Yet, EVE-NG is requesting the management/admin interface to be ETH0 only. So you have to
  1. find your MAC addresses ==> use youridrac remote console and BIOS if needed
  • Edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file as shown below
  • reboot and pray :)
Do this before installing EVE-NG but after changing the enox to eth0

Code: Select all

root@EVE:~# vim /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
 #/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
 # PCI device 0x8086:0x100e (e1000e)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="78:ac:44:15:59:98", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth2"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="78:ac:44:15:59:9a", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth3"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="78:ac:44:15:59:b8", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="78:ac:44:15:59:b9", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1" 
There you can proceed with EVE-NG installation and configuration
