Need NIC to interface name correspondence

Post by kvashishta » 2015/03/01 13:13:20

Team,

I need to establish a correspondence between the NIC's on the system and the interface names. I need a mechanism that will work without having physical access to the system(ethtool and making the LED on the NIC blink).

lspci -vmm

Slot: 03:00.0
Class: Ethernet controller
Vendor: Broadcom Corporation
Device: NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet
SVendor: Dell
SDevice: Device 01b2

ip ad sh

link/ether 00:22:19:92:ef:ac brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

Googling tells me that fedora has a tool called "lshw" which will give me exactly what I want. I can, however, not find it for CentOS.

As usual any tips will be appreciated. Regards,

You can find both lshw and lshw-gui in the EPEL repository for EL7.

Just --

yum --enablerepo extras epel-release

and then --

yum install lshw

(or yum install lshw-gui, depending upon which interface is required).

Thanks Alan. I was however incorrect in my assumption that "lshw will give me everything"...it does not provide a slot number and any correspondence with the interface name from the ip ad sh command.
