• The first (primary) interface is called ensX (where X is an integer denoting the interface number; example: ens5).
• When a second interface is added to a running instance, it maybe initially called eth0.
  However, the command ethtool -i eth0 shows that the enhanced network driver (ena) will be used for this interface. This interface will change its name to ensY (where Y is X+1) after restarting the instance. This means that any configuration file created for this interface must use the final name of the interface instead of eth0. Otherwise, the instance may become unreachable after a restart because there is no valid interface configuration (NetworkManager is not enabled on Charon-SSP AWS, so a configuration file must exist to configure the interface properly).
   This numbering scheme may change in the future. Currently, it is based on the PCI slot on which the Ethernet controller is presented and which is incremented by one for each additional Ethernet interface added. On the Charon host system, the slot can be verified with the following command:
  # lspci -vv | grep -A20 Ethernet

 To avoid confusion before the instance can be restarted, the new interface can be renamed to its final name using the command 
     ip link set eth0 name ensY && ip link set ensY up

1. Create a configuration file (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<interface-name>) for the second interface (if there is no configuration file for the primary interface, create it as well).
2. Set the correct interface for default route in /etc/sysconfig/network (example: GATEWAYDEV=eth0).
3. To prevent the cloud-init from resetting your custom network configurations, add the following lines to the /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg file:
   network:
  ; config: disabled
4. Restart the network.
5. Create an additional routing table (use the command: ip route add <path> dev <interface-name> table <table-id>). There must be an entry for every IP address assigned to the second interface and any other route to be used.
6. Set rules in the Routing Policy Database (use the command: ip rule add from <ip-address-of-second-interface> lookup <table-id>)
7. Create a static route file (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-<interface-name>)
8. Create a static rule file (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/rule-<interface-name>)
