 ====== Generate UUID for Network Interface ======
+<color #db5f0b>Jun 2017</color>
+\\
+\\
+----
+If you do not have the UUID (Universal Unique Identifier) identifiers in your ifcfg-xxx files, you can generate these IDs from the command line. Bear in mind each time you run this command for an interface, a new UUID is generated, and presumably the old one becomes invalid.
+\\
+\\
+To generate a UUID:
+\\
+    uuidgen <interface>
+    uuidgen eth0
+\\
+This will return a value that looks similar to the one below:
+\\
+    cceda895-dd2b-4096-9d9c-5985dd0872d7
+\\
+You can now add this line to your interface config file (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 in this example)
