I want to change naming scheme for network interfaces for the classic one (eth0, eth1, etc). Is it possible to an already installed Ubuntu 16.04 machine?

  • You may try option2 here https://askubuntu.com/a/788343/26246 . using same solution as in mattias' answer should work but may need to override `80-net-setup-link.rules` as in option1.

It is possible, edit the following file with your favorite editor (vi for example)

vi /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

  • On my 16.04 system, `/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules ` does not exist. How about yours, @mattias? – chili555 Jul 13 '16 at 01:03
  • Wops, assumption is the mother of all f.... It exists in Ubuntu 14.0.4 so I just assumed the same for 16.04. – mattias Jul 13 '16 at 17:21
