Hi there, I'm playing with CentOS 7 (don't know if it's recommended at all have this one as a development server as maybe is not stable enough yet) and I installed it on a Vmware VM with two network interfaces: one as a bridged connected directly to the physical network and replicating the network state and the second one as a host only interface (the one I use to manage the VM) so after I got the CentOS installed I can see the first interface but not the second one and I don't know how to enable it. If I run the command ifconfig -a this is what I see:
eno16777728: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.1.112 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 inet6 fe80::250:56ff:fe2e:e245 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link> ether 00:50:56:2e:e2:45 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 126 bytes 17122 (16.7 KiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 83 bytes 12627 (12.3 KiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0

What I need to do in order to enable the other interface? Also how I change the name eno16777728 to eth0-internet without get down my server?
Thanks in advace

This is something of a loaded question and also quite dependent on what you are doing. If the server is very critical, I would probably wait until 7.1 or 7.2. If the server is not very critical, then sure, use EL7 and start learning it (and report bugs! :) ).

If 'ifconfig -a' doesn't see it, the kernel probably doesn't, either. Do you see it in lspci or dmidecode? If not, I would look at the hypervisor for a problem.

Yes you can do it without rebooting, but it still requires taking the network down.
I wrote this a while ago:

It probably needs to be updated/cleaned up, but it should be good enough to help you.

It's not critical, just a development server I'll like to configure in order to start learn a bit CentOS 7 (I'm not a System Administrator expert but a developer)

As I said above I'm not a expert but I did "man dmidecode" since lspci isn't available and I can't find a TYPE for see network interfaces also I do not know if the output is related to motherboard (the one I have) or is related to emulated board (if this has sense), so what command should I run to give you proper info?

I'll take a look in a few minutes after system updates complete

No worries about not being an admin.
To find a package that provides a certain tool, you can do this:
[root@rhel7-builder ~]# yum provides "*/lspci" Loaded plugins: product-id, subscription-manager Repodata is over 2 weeks old. Install yum-cron? Or run: yum makecache fast rhel-7-server-rpms/7Server/x86_64/filelists_db
| 3.7 MB 00:00:01 rhel-ha-for-rhel-7-server-rpms/7Server/x86_64/filelists_db
| 50 kB 00:00:00 rhel-rs-for-rhel-7-server-rpms/7Server/x86_64/filelists_db
| 55 kB 00:00:00 rhel-sap-for-rhel-7-server-rpms/7Server/x86_64/filelists_db
| 3.7 kB 00:00:00 pciutils-3.2.1-4.el7.x86_64 : PCI bus related utilities Repo : rhel-7-server-rpms Matched from: Filename : /usr/sbin/lspci
This shows that you can get 'lspci' by installing the 'pciutils' program.
As for "hardware", from inside the VM, only the emulated hardware can be seen, not the real hardware. So lspci, dmidecode and similar tools will report on the (virtual) hardware created by VMWare.
Sorry, but I can't provide any advice for VMWare, I use KVM.

Let me know if you have trouble.
