Change configuration settings for eth0 in Amahi 9

[mwiegmann]

Hello!

A newbie here, but some familiarity with Linux and Ubuntu.

I am wanting to change the settings for my ethernet controller eth0, but cannot find the commands/process to do it. Specifically, I want to to change HWADDR to a new MAC address, and I want to change ONBOOT to "Yes" instead of "No". Using commands I was familiar with from previous versions (as well as found here on the Wiki so far), I just keep getting told the files/location does not exist. I have a new NIC and Motherboard and want to swap my drive over to it without having to lose my current Amahi setup. I have the new MAC addresses, and if I could find the commands/instructions on how to change those, I think that would do the trick.

Can anyone help?

There is no eth0 any longer for Amahi 9.

Fedora 21 and newer names the network card something like ens18 and the scripts are found in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory.

Thanks!

So if were wanting to change the MAC address for the default NIC in an Amahi 9 installation, what would be the command I would run? Does 70-persistent-rules even exist past Fedora 21? In the past, I was able to modify the eth0 config and then easily change motherboards, NIC and so on - once I even pulled the hard drive and placed in an entirely different machine with no problem. Hoping to do that same operation with Amahi 9/Fedotra 23.

Thanks for any help!

Probably edit the ifcfg-ens18 (name might be different) file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory.

Once you make the changes restart networking or reboot.

Does 70-persistent-rules even exist past Fedora 21?

No, that is outdated. The wiki page has been marked so hopefully someone will make updates.
