Change Interface name ( eth0 -> bond0) in vCenter Appliance 6.5

Hi,

I have vCenter 6.5 running on one ESXI, I have some requirement in which I have to change vCenter interface name eth0 to bond0. I check for the file in /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts but didn't get any configuration related to eth0 ( looking for ifcfg-eth0).

I was planning to change file name ifcfg-eth0 to ifcfg-bond0, will this be okay ? Thanks.

It's not supported to make that type of change in the vCSA. But, that aside, why do you have such a requirement?

in 6.5 the config file is /etc/systemd/network. But bond is not-supported with vCSA.
