Normally I actually get something like eno16777984 But I have a couple systems that get named in the way that you mention. When this happens I normally see ens160 as the first nic and 192 if a second is defined. I haven't dug too deeply into this but I would suggest that you look at the udev rules that are defined in /etc/udev/rules.d/ and see if this explains what is happening. You may also want to check that the VMware Hardware version is what you expect. > Thanks. > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
