Debian and Predictable Network Interface Name

Open Source Modules Backup and Restore

Debian installation ends with enpXXsYY interface name

Are there known issues restoring backups from versions using old ethX naming (i.e. interface not found or something similar) ??

Thanks

Backups of what? FreePBX or a actual snapshot of the old system? If it’s just FreePBX backups then the interface isn’t touched.

Yes, Freepbx backup from 16 to new 17 (eth0 became enp0s18)

All seems ok, my concern was about “something” restored would still point to eth0

Nothing should point directly to an hardcoded interface name.

The FreePBX Distro ISO for FreePBX 17 on Debian 12 orders the interface names by MAC address in a predictable way: sngfd12/roles/sngfd_factory_12/templates/sng_late_command.j2 at c06b3e0cc58d27f19ef2ba6e556ded29435fcac7 · FreePBX/sngfd12 · GitHub
