Forcing a Network Interface to ent0 1

[MoshiachNow]

How does one achieve the following:

I have one 100BT + one GIGABIT adapter on RISC6000.

GIGABIT is ent1 , 100BT is ent0.

My goal is to force GIGABIT to be ent0,for different reasons.

Assume I manage to remove both from ODM using odmdelete.
If I run cfgmgr - it again defines the onboard 100BT to ent0.

HOw do I force cfgmgr (or other way - mkdev ?) to define the GIGABIT as ent0 without moving the boards phisically?

Not 100 % sure but........

I really thought it walked the bus and the first one it found it made ent0...usually integrated then first slot......etc.

I am not sure if you even got it to work it would stay that way.......probably until the next reboot.................

Hi !

What type of RS/6000 do u have ?

If your machine is a PCI Hot Plugable, like a 6H1, then u can do it easily.

1)
Remove both interfaces:
rmdev -dl ent0
rmdev -dl ent1
-------------
2)
Remove the slot of the 100b:
drslot -c pci -s <drawer-slot> -r
or
smit devices ->PCI Hot Plug Manager ->Replace/Remove a PCI Hot Plug Adapter
-------------
3)
Run cfgmgr ( At this time, your Gb will be ent0 ):
cfgmgr
-------------
4)
Add the slot of the 100Bt:
drslot -c pci -a -s <drawer-slot>
or
smit devices ->PCI Hot Plug Manager ->Add a PCI Hot Plug Adapter
-------------
5)
Run cfgmgr again ( At this time, your 100Bt will be ent1):
cfgmgr


Finish !

Thanks,great stuff.

Any way to achieve the same on a non-hot-swap machines,like 44-170 ? &quot;Long live king Moshiach !&quot;
