I have a mini-pc with six network interfaces running CentOS 7.2 with Kernel 3.10 with a minimal install.
I want to name my interfaces net0-net5. To do so I'm trying to follow the suggestions mentioned here: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/
In the above article it states that in order to rename my interfaces I need to create .link files and place them in /etc/systemd/network. This is the new way in which one is required to rename their network interfaces in compliance with the systemd-networkd.
I'm finding however, that the systemd-networkd service won't start and without this service running, I don't think I can name my interfaces at all.
See the following:
systemctl --failed -l
UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION
<E2><97><8F> systemd-networkd.service loaded failed failed Network Service
<E2><97><8F> systemd-networkd.socket loaded failed failed networkd rtnetlink so
LOAD = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.
2 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too.
To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.
systemctl status systemd-networkd -l

I should mention that NetworkManager is not installed nor is DHClient. Due to the fact that this was a minimal install I thought I'd show what processes are running:

One thing I find interesting is that /init is listed as PID 1 but ps -p 1 -o comm= shows that I'm running systemd. Also:

Any ideas as to what I should do to get systemd-networkd.service and systemd-networkd.socket to load successfully would be greatly appreciated.
