nameif - Unix, Linux Command
NAME
nameif - name network interfaces based on MAC addresses
SYNOPSIS
nameif [-c configfile] [-s]
nameif [-c configfile] [-s] {interface macaddress} DESCRIPTION
nameif renames network interfaces based on mac addresses. When no arguments are
given
/etc/mactab is read. Each line of it contains an interface name and a Ethernet MAC
address. Comments are allowed starting with #.
Otherwise the interfaces specified on the command line are processed.
nameif looks for the interface with the given MAC address and renames it to the
name given.
When the
-s argument is given all error messages go to the syslog.
When the
-c argument is given with a file name that file is read instead of /etc/mactab.
NOTES
nameif should be run before the interface is up, otherwise itll fail.
FILES
/etc/mactab
BUGS
Only works for Ethernet currently.
