Change default network name (ens33) to “eth0” in Centos7/RHEL7

RHEL 7 came with new feature called “consistent network device naming“.This feature change the name of network interfaces on a system in order to make locating and differentiating the interfaces easier.

Traditionally, network interfaces in Linux are enumerated as eth[0123…], but these names do not necessarily correspond to actual labels on the chassis. Modern server platforms with multiple network adapters can encounter non-deterministic and counter-intuitive naming of these interfaces. This affects both network adapters embedded on the motherboard (Lan-on-Motherboard, or LOM) and add-in (single and multiport) adapters.

Let show you how to Change default network name (ens33) to “eth0” in Centos7 or RHEL7

The below procedure disables “consistent network device naming” and renames interfaces.

The default config is like this :

and Should be changed to: add the string bellow the the config

net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0

test the new configuration to see if no mistake has been made:

Run first : grub2-mkconfig to see if no mistake has been made

[root@osradar-com ~]# grub2-mkconfig

Then

[root@osradar-com ~]# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

Copy the old configuraton

cp /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ens33 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 to

NAME="eth0"
UUID="84cad80a-0c42-4540-90c6-9209735e8ea8"
DEVICE="eth0"
ONBOOT="yes"

save and exit

Reboot the machine

shutdown -r now
