Useless use of sudo. Root privileges are not needed to display interface 
status. You may just need to use the full pathname /sbin/ifconfig 
because /sbin is not in the default user PATH.

ifconfig shows that the interface is named eth0 and is activated (UP) 
and configured, so the issue is different.

No. It is related to systemd/udev "Predictable Network Interface Names" 
in Stretch.
