With systemd 197 we have moved a scheme similar to biosdevname (put generally more powerful) into systemd/udev proper. A number of different naming schemes for network interfaces are now supported by udev natively:
- 1. Names incorporating Firmware/BIOS provided index numbers for on-board devices
- 2. Names incorporating Firmware/BIOS provided PCI Express hotplug slot index numbers
- 3. Names incorporating physical/geographical location of the connector of the hardware
- 4. Names incorporating the interfaces's MAC address
- 5. Classic, unpredictable kernel-native ethX naming
+ 1. Names incorporating Firmware/BIOS provided index numbers for on-board devices (example: {{{eno1}}})
+ 2. Names incorporating Firmware/BIOS provided PCI Express hotplug slot index numbers (example: {{{ens1}}})
+ 3. Names incorporating physical/geographical location of the connector of the hardware (example: {{{enp2s0}}})
+ 4. Names incorporating the interfaces's MAC address (example: {{{enx78e7d1ea46da}}})
+ 5. Classic, unpredictable kernel-native ethX naming (example: {{{eth0}}})
By default, systemd v197 will now name interfaces following policy 1) if that information from the firmware is applicable and available, falling back to 2) if that information from the firmware is applicable and available, falling back to 3) if applicable, falling back to 5) in all other cases. Policy 4) is not used by default, but is available if the user chooses so.
