Hello if you have these option enabled in your grup conf net.ifnames=0 and biosdevname=0 , maybe you need to gecreete the 70-persistent-net.rules file to keep static mac adress on your configurations
My Linux Server is Centos8.1 but this way should work on RHEL 6/7 based Systems.

As you can see i have no rule called 70-persistent-net.rules
[root@192 rules.d]# ls -altr /etc/udev/rules.d
