+# Using UDEV Rules for changing NIC's network device name
+
+To allow "pfNames" selector to consistently select a specific device across nodes it is required to define a fixed network device name. UDEV rules allow the user to change the NIC's network device name every time the node get rebooted:
+
+1. Add a new rule:
+```
+# vi /etc/udev/rules.d/90-netnames.rules
+SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", KERNELS=="0000:02:00.0", NAME="pf0s0f1"
+``` 
+
+`SUBSYSTEM` Match against the subsystem of the device
+`ACTION` Action to be done at the next reboot
+`DRIVER`  Match against the name of the driver backing the device
+`KERNELS` Match against the kernel name for the device, here the pci address
+`NAME` The new name for the NIC
+
+2. Run udev commands
+```
+# udevadm control --reload
+# udevadm trigger --action=add -attr-match=subsystem=net
+```
+
+3. Reboot the machine or reload the driver for the NIC
