vEOS / CloudEOS and interface ordering
Hi, I am trying to wrap my head around what logic vEOS uses to map PCI network cards to EthernetX numbers. I am running a lab in ESXi with 1x E1000 interface which always gets mapped to Ma1 – so far so good. However when I add 10x VMXNET 3 interfaces with ordered PCI IDs EOS seems to jumble the order. Ethernet1 ends up being the 4th VMXNET, Ethernet2 is the 8th. It is seemingly random to me. It seems this would be a severe limitation if it is indeed random, so I must assume I am missing some crucial...
