View the
/etc/modprobe.conf
file by typing:
more /etc/modprobe.conf
Several lines appear with the format
alias eth
x
driver-module
, where
x
is the Ethernet interface number and
driver-module
is the module you
determined in step 3.
For example, the line
alias eth1 tg3
appears if your operating system
assigned eth1 to a Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit NIC.
5
Determine which Ethernet interfaces (eth
x
) are assigned to the type of
Gigabit NIC that is connected to the Gigabit switch.
If only one entry exists in
/etc/modprobe.conf
for your driver module type,
then you have successfully identified the private network interface.
6
If you have more than one of the same type of NIC in your system, experiment
to determine which Ethernet interface is assigned to each NIC.
For each Ethernet interface, follow the steps in the
Storage and Networking
Guide
for the correct driver module until you have identified the correct
Ethernet interface.
