Hi. Not sure if this is the correct forum.
I have a question regarding the order we add network adapters in a VM and why it would affect the physical Uplink the adapter is using.
We have a zeroshell linux vm we are using with esxi 6.5 embedded on a machine with 4 NICs (one nic used for esxi mgmt).
If we add the the network adapters in the order of LAN, WAN1, WAN2 , the lan and wan2 adapters will use different physical uplinks than if we add them in the order of WAN2, WAN1 and LAN.
My question is why would the order matter if the adapter is linked to a port group that is in turn linked with a vswitch > physical uplink.
