Correcting network configuration after Snapshot recovery

Snapshot is a copy of files and directories of the file system at a specific point in time. File systems at this point can later be mounted read-only.

So, after the snapshot recovery period has passed on the new VPS, problems may arise caused by changing the MAC address of the network adapter. Typically, when you change a network adapter, the operating system creates a new network adapter for it. Typically you will see the network adapter on “eth1” (or eth2 if you have a private network enabled).

NM_CONTROLLED=yes
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
DNS1=8.8.8.8
