Dear All,
Sorry if this had been covered before.
How can I set or get the UUID for a NIC? I have installed new system, initially with a
single NIC; now I've added another NIC and would like to create a new UUID to be used
in the new network-script file (e.g. ifcfg-em2).
I did some searches over Google and found related topics on hard disk partitions only
(such as blkid /dev/sda1, ls -l /dev/disk/by_uuid); but none of the them covers the UUID
for a NIC.
I understand that, we can create a new network-script file without the UUID. However,
i'm still curious of how it can be done.
Thanks in advance for any help or comment.
Simply run uuidgen to create one
