Modify the NIC name in Linux

The implementation steps are as follows:
1. Change the module alias in the/etc/modprobe. conf file.
For example, alias eth0 pcnet32

Change to alias LAN pcnet32

2. Change the name of the NIC configuration file to ifcfg-lan.

MV/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-LAN

3. Change the configuration file to device = LAN.

4. Remove the NIC module from the memory

Modprobe-r pcnet32

5. Reload the NIC Module

Modprobe LAN (equivalent to modprobe pcnet32)

6. Restart the network service/etc/init. d/network restart.

Service Network restart [root @ bogon ~] # Ifconfig
