When adding 4 or more VMXNET3 Network Interface Controllers (NICs) to a Virtual LoadMaster (VLM) in VMware, the order of the interfaces on the Web User Interface (WUI) does not correspond with the order of the interfaces in machine setting, for example:
NIC 1: eth2
NIC 2: eth1
NIC 3: eth3
NIC 4: eth0
This order has been observed in all cases. It does not matter if the NICs are added before licensing or if they are added later.
eth0 always corresponds to NIC4.
This behaviour does not affect e1000 NICs.
This is a VMware issue and nothing to do with the KEMP LoadMaster. For further information, please refer to the following articles:

A date on this article would be of great help - as the VM article referenced dates back to 2013 - so no confirmation if this issue still exists today in 2018 with vsphere 6.5 U1
