Hi, i dont know what way you prefer to archieve network interface renaming, what I do is set specific udev rules. user at host# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/60-net.rules SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ATTR{address}=="00:00:50:cc:19:0a", ATTR{type}=="1", NAME="eth0" SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ATTR{address}=="00:00:50:cc:4f:3c", ATTR{type}=="1", NAME="eth1" SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ATTR{address}=="00:00:50:cc:10:02", ATTR{type}=="1", NAME="eth2" After a reboot the interface names will be seit accordingly. I have never read about an way to change an interface name via networkmanager. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: CentOS [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] Im Auftrag von Matt .

The .network file works right, networkmanager is removed as well to accomplish this. Any idea why the rename is not done ? /etc/systemd/network/0-eth.network [Match] MACAddress=00:1a:4a:a9:0a:17 [Network] Address=172.16.3.141/24 Gateway=172.16.3.254 DNS=172.16.3.1 DNS=172.16.3.2 /etc/systemd/network/0-eth.link [Match] MACAddress=00:1a:4a:a9:0a:17 [Link] Name=eth0 _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS at centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
