Enabling or disabling Consistent Device Naming

On supported operating systems, use the Consistent Device Naming option to control how NIC ports are named based on their locations in the system.
NOTE:

Existing NIC connections retain their names until reinstalled under the OS environment.

Procedure
  1. From the System Utilities screen, select System Configuration > BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) > Advanced Options > Consistent Device Naming.
  2. Select a setting.

    • CDN Support for LOMs and Slots—Names all NIC ports on the system.

    • CDN Support for LOMs Only—Names Embedded NICs and FlexibleLOMs, but no other NIC ports.

    • Disabled—Disables consistent device naming.

  3. Save your setting.
