Ethernet Port Boot Order and Device Naming
This section contains information about the boot order and device naming for the four 10 GigabitEthernet ports on the back panel of the server (see Back Panel Connector Locations). From left to right, the two bottom ports are NET 0 and NET 1; the two top ports are NET2 and NET 3, as shown in the following illustration.
Ethernet Port Boot Order
The order in which the BIOS detects the Ethernet ports during server boot is listed below.
-
NET 0
-
NET 1
-
NET 2
-
NET 3
Note - You can change the boot priority using the Boot Device Priority screen available in the Boot menu of the BIOS Setup Utility.
Ethernet Port Device Naming
Note - Naming used by the interfaces might vary from that listed below, depending on which devices are installed in the system.
The device naming for the Ethernet interfaces is reported differently by different interfaces and operating systems. The following illustration explains the logical (operating system) and physical (BIOS) naming conventions used for each interface. These naming conventions might vary depending on conventions of your operating system and which devices are installed in the server.
