Not fixed; but predictable. See:
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/
It would appear you have moved from scheme 4 to scheme 3, ie from
4. Names incorporating the interfaces's MAC address (example: enx78e7d1ea46da)
to
3. Names incorporating physical/geographical location of the connector of the hardware (example: enp2s0)
