udev/network question

[Gary Artim]

got it working, below is what I did, I do have some alias configs on
net0 I didnt include.
Also changed any interface references in my iptables rules (not included):

[root at xxxxx ]# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

# This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_net_rules
# program run by the persistent-net-generator.rules rules file.
#
# You can modify it, as long as you keep each rule on a single line.
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*",
ATTR{address}=="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*",
NAME="net0"

SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*",
ATTR{address}=="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*",
NAME="net4"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*",
ATTR{address}=="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*",
NAME="net5"

[root at xxxxx ]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-net0
# Intel Corporation 80003ES2LAN Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper)
DEVICE=net0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=static
...other stuff the same...

[root at xxxxx ]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-net4
# Intel Corporation 80003ES2LAN Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper)
DEVICE=net4
BOOTPROTO=static
...other stuff the same...

[root at xxxxx]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-net5
DEVICE=net5
BOOTPROTO=static
...other stuff the same...
