Title: Troubles with interfaces after a VM clone
Truncated: true
---

Remapping interfaces and their MAC address.
<!--more-->
Often, when you clone a VM you could stumble against errors like:

```.language-command.line-numbers
[FAILED] Device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization
```

You could change your network configuration to match the correct interface or let Linux reread the available interfaces

*/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules* holds the configuration of available devices. Make sure that the MAC address is correct and that the name maches your configuration
