RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Document URL: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Networking_Guide/sec-Disabling_Consistent_Network_Device_Naming.html

Section Number and Name: 8.9. DISABLING CONSISTENT NETWORK DEVICE NAMING

Describe the issue: 
> Add the following line to the /etc/default/grub file:
> net.ifnames=0

This is not true! If you do this, the result will be in broken grub2-mkconfig which parses this file.

Suggestions for improvement:
You have to add 'net.ifnames=0' to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX variable, so it will be used as kernel parameter.

Updated documentation.
Next step is to push to GitLab.

Do you need just the review of the text in comment 5? It looks good from my point of view.

If you need something more, just let me know.

Hello Ioanna,

I think that looks good. For the second point "Create your own manual naming scheme" ... is there a doc or something that can be linked which might help someone create the udev rules?

I dunno, maybe that is not necessary. I think it is fine how it is now in your most recent revision either way.


Thank you,

Patrick
