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 :1a:4a:a9:0a:17
[Network]
Address2.16.3.141/24
Gateway2.16.3.254
DNS2.16.3.1
DNS2.16.3.2
/etc/systemd/network/0-eth.link
[Match]
MACAddress :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@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”?
