Description

Network devices can be named according to BIOS-provided information through a udev helper. It is useful for server administrators who need stable names matching hardware labels or firmware inventory.

Device naming changes can affect network configuration, firewall rules, and automation. Test on maintenance windows before changing production hosts.
