CentOS - Mar 2017 - Systemd interface rename does not work

Hi,

I'm moving to Systemd for my network management but I don't see my
link name changed when I try to using a .link name.

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

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.

Can you try with a name that does not start with "eth"?
