name ethernet interfaces on centos7

I’ve learned how to continue to use the ethX prefix. I’m still using the udev rules that I mentioned in post above. So at bootup udev will rename my interfaces netX. And then using /etc/rc.local I’ve included the following commands to rename them from netX back to ethX.

/sbin/ip link set net0 down
/sbin/ip link set net0 name eth0
/sbin/ip link set eth0 up
...

Using the ip command I can change the name of the interfaces after the initial bootup is completed.
