Thank you, and now I know, I can change ens33 for eth0 when I install asterisk on centos 7 because sometimes I need to change ens33 for eth0 if not some modules doesn't work.

One fun workaround with vim that I use sometimes is that if you've forgotten that you can't write to the file you're editing unless you're root, you can use the command ":w !sudo tee %" to execute the write with sudo permissions. This only works if you're in the sudo group on the machine, but it's helped me several times when I've edited system files and forgotten to open the file with sudo or as root.
