There are many of us that learned Linux in the very early days, and with that history comes habits. One habit I have is to look for spec interface names. In particular, I prefer to have my interfaces named eth* (with some notables exceptions here). Modern linux systems seem to have adopted the BSD methodology of naming the interfaces based on what it is – and while I did do a fair amount of work in BSD, I still prefer the eth naming scheme. ZeroTier has the inconsistency of using zt* on some platforms and ztublkahlah on others. I am sure there is a reason, but I prefer consistency. Here are two ways to rename the interfaces.
This is on a Debuntu system.
Temporarily rename an interface:
ifconfig ztukuxzo4f down ip link set ztukuxzo4f name zt0 ifconfig zt0 up
Rename an interface persistently:
viĀ /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
Append:
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ATTR{address}=="96:3c:ee:c0:ff:ee", NAME="zt0"
Reboot.
