NETWORK NAMING SCHEMA IN CENTOS 7
CentOS 7 uses a different network naming schema than previous versions. By
default,
systemd
names interfaces using the following methods:
1
Names incorporating firmware-provided or BIOS-provided index numbers for
on-board devices (for example, eno1) are applied if the information is
applicable and available. Otherwise, method 2 is used.
2
Names incorporating firmware-provided or BIOS-provided PCI Express hotplug
slot index numbers (for example, ens1) are applied if the information is
applicable and available. Otherwise, method 3 is used.
3
Names incorporating physical location of the connector of the hardware (for
example, enp2s0) are applied if applicable. Method 5 is used in all other
cases.
4
Names incorporating the interface’s MAC address (for
example, enx78e7d1ea46da) are not used by default, but are available if the
user chooses.
5
The traditional kernel naming scheme (for example, eth0) is used if all other
methods fail.
What’s next
The Skybox Manager is the client application that communicates with the Server.
After installation and configuration of the Appliance, you must install the
Manager on at least one remote machine. For additional information, see
(on page 27).
Using Skybox for change tracking
You can use Skybox to track changes on firewalls. Although much of the change
information can be collected directly from the firewalls, additional information
(including timestamp and user who made the change) is available only from
syslog change events that are sent to the syslog server in the Appliance. You
collect the change events using Change Tracking Events – Syslog Import
tasks.
Syslog server
The syslog server in the Appliance is preconfigured and is enabled by default.
