[SOLVED] Can’t change Network interface name from enpxx to eth0

Post by bowbth » 2018/05/12 16:17:48

I have a fresh install Centos7.
I’m trying to change Network interface name to eth0.

My interface name from ifconfig is enp2s0

I’ve following almost of guide from google
- add net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0 in /etc/default/grub
-change interface name in network-scripts/ifcfg
-manual add network rule in 70-persistent
(after do all the steps of each guide,reboot the system)
However, there was no change of interfacename

What should I do?
Thanks

Amending /etc/default/grub does nothing unless you rerun grub2-mkconfig and overwrite your current grub.cfg file (location varies depending on UEFI or not, usually in /boot/grub2.grub2.cfg).
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Sorry!
I didn’t add all the details in my post.
Acually, I already did all the things you said by following the guide.
(rerun grub2-mkconfig and overwrite grub.cfg, change device and name in network-scripts to eth0)

What is the output from cat /proc/cmdline ?

No mention of biosdevname=0 net.ifnames=0 in that so I suspect you're amending the wrong file. If yours is a UEFI system then /boot/grbu2/grub.cfg is not used and you need to look at a similarly named file in /boot/efi/EFI/centos/grub.cfg
