Joel,

You forgot to mention the cool part of being able to rename the devices
from eth1 and eth2 to ips0 and ips1 :)

Mark: Edit the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 and ifcfg-eth2
files, rename them to ifcfg-ips0 and ifcfg-ips1 and change the line in
the files that says: DEVICE=eth1 and DEVICE=eth2 to DEVICE=ips0 and
DEVICE=ips1 respectively

Although, I've been struggling with how to rename a bond0 interface to
mgt0 ... :/ :)
