[Solved]Two interfaces, problem with order

I have two Ethernet card, one r8169 on mainboard with WoL and second (external) on USB.
I need to start system with embedded nic as a ETH0 with default route on this interface.

I googled for it but I can't find solution. Second problem - my box is far away from me and I have only remote access to it.
Could You help me with it please?

Regards
Slawek

Re: [Solved]Two interfaces, problem with order

According to the output you have posted, the r8169 card is already assigned to eth0 by the rule in /etc/udev

I'm not sure what you mean by "with default route on this interface" (I've never owned a system with multiple NICs), can you explain further please?

Connection details are usually specified in /etc/network/interfaces

Have you read

man interfaces

Re: [Solved]Two interfaces, problem with order

I think the simplest way to do this is using systemd-networkd, you can manage even without renaming the ethernet devices, for example:

Create /etc/systemd/network/builtin.network with the following contents (or so, didn't test):

[Match]
MACAddress=00:19:99:68:58:d8
[Network]
Description=Builtin device with default route
# Using static address in this example
Address=192.168.55.15/24
[Route]
Gateway=192.168.55.1
Destination=default

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable systemd-networkd
systemctl start systemd-networkd

You can think of this as a udev dialect for network link/device/route/... configuration. Read systemd.network, systemd.netdev and related man pages to get an overview – but it's very straightforward as you can see.

Re: [Solved]Two interfaces, problem with order

Hello

I not very skilled in Linux so I choosed simplest way. I swapped names in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persis~et.rules (NAME="ethX")

# PCI device 0x10ec:0x8168 (r8169)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:19:99:68:58:d8", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"

# USB device 0x:0x (asix)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:80:c8:38:6c:f9", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1"

and this solved one of my problems.

>According to the output you have posted, the r8169 card is already assigned to eth0 by the rule in /etc/udev

It my mistake, I thought about ETH1 ... but this is solved.
