environment
In order to prevent errors caused by changing network device names ( eth<x> ),
it is recommended to store the MAC address (hardware address) of a network
interface card in the related NIC configuration file of the Linux OS.
When replacing a network controller or the system board with onboard LAN
controllers in a server running Linux OS, the MAC address will change but not
