Note: A product listed in this article has either reached hardware End of Life (EOL) OR software End of Engineering (EOE). Refer to End of Life Products & Milestones for the EOL, EOE, and End of Support (EOS) dates.
This article explains how to swap interfaces back to their expected configurations.
Note: This issue affects STRM 5000 II and NEBS appliances as well as the JSA 1500 and 3500.
Ethernet interfaces were swapped. For versions 2012.2R3 and earlier, please see the following Knowledge Base article instead: KB17314 - [STRM/JSA] Interfaces are swapped
After the device reboots, you will most likely see something like this scroll past:

1. Edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and correct as shown in the following configuration.
2. Replace the MAC addresses with the corresponding values from the output above.
