Workaround:

Description: ch12: At the beginning of the chapter it is said that RHEL no longer uses the ethX NIC naming scheme but following example used the same old one.

I see that there are two JIRAs discussing about the same issue : https://training-feedback.redhat.com/browse/RH124-725 && https://training-feedback.redhat.com/browse/RH124-839 . However the confusion is still there because of the mentioned thing in ch12 intro lecture.

When we are declaring old scheme to be error prone and ;This new naming scheme is designed to address the problem of unpredictable and inconsistent network interface names that could occur with the old naming scheme, particularly in systems with multiple network interfaces. The new scheme provides a more consistent and predictable naming convention that makes it easier to identify and manage network interfaces ; then why are we using the old scheme in the same chapter ?
