# Interface Names
If you find the names of your interfaces have changed, this could be because
your MAC addresses have changed.
- For example, you have a VyOS VM with 4 Ethernet interfaces named
eth0, eth1, eth2 and eth3. Then, you migrate your VyOS VM to a different
host and find your interfaces now are eth4, eth5, eth6 and eth7.
One way to fix this issue **taking control of the MAC addresses** is:
Log into VyOS and run this command to display your interface settings.
```none
show interfaces detail
```
Take note of MAC addresses.
Now, in order to update a MAC address in the configuration, run this command
specifying the interface name and MAC address you want.
```none
set interfaces ethernet eth0 hw-id 00:0c:29:da:a4:fe
```
If it is a VM, go into the settings of the host and set the MAC address to
the settings found in the config.boot file. You can also set the MAC to
static if the host allows so.
- Another example could be when cloning VyOS VMs in GNS3 and you get into the
same issue: interface names have changed.
And **a more generic way to fix it** is just deleting every MAC address at
the configuration file of the cloned machine. They will be correctly
regenerated automatically.
