We just inherited a machine with 16 network interfaces using dual/ quad port cards.
It is a total pain to do ip a to find which NIC is which. Like we have mellanox cards with 2 ports each. How do I know which port is which and which is a mellanox instead of an Intel.
Method right now: using MAC address lookups I can figure out the vendor. 00:02:c9 = mellanox. Then there are two ports on the card so it's a pain.
Someone HAS to have a better option for this.
