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 it’ll fail.

FILES

/etc/mactab

BUGS

Only works for Ethernet currently.
