[9.200][BUG] Add Nic VMwawe scrambles Nic order with Intel i350

Mark_D_01
Hi All
I just tried to add an extra NIC interface to my VMware UTM. When I do this the NIC Interface MAC order gets scrambled.
When I look at at eth0 the MAC address changes (very frustrating).
Hope the pics tell the tale

If you look at the pics the pic labels are:-
Nic Mac Address Normal
eth0 norm vmware
vmVirtgroup
vm NICs
add i350 nic
new eth0 mac address
udev 70-persitent rules
udev 71 rules

In the below pics show normal operation.
Nic Mac Address Normal
eth0 norm vmware
vmVirtgroup
vm NICs

When I add an extra virtual Nic the below pics show the results.
add i350 nic
new eth0 mac address
udev 70-persitent rules
udev 71 rules

    I'm afraid I don't see what you're referring to Mark.

    The MAC reported in the UTM and on the vNIC config match. The MAC's reported on the ESXi network screen don't flow through into the guest vm's so they're not usually relevant to anything.

    This is sort of normal behavior for UTM on VMware (has been an "issue" since V9, maybe since V8); you can "hardwire" the MAC to Ethernet interface mappings by disabling the automatic VMware NIC script in /etc/udev/udev.rule and by editing the network rules file in that directory... I have done that before.  Bear in mind you can render your UTM dead in the water if you mess up a setting in there, but if you are confident in your abilities, that will work.
