Hi all,
I'm having a nightmare trying to provision an 8 port Juniper vSRX 12.1X47 in a lab environment.
Every time I boot it, the NIC's don't line up at all.
IE,
NIC 1 -> ge-0/0/6
NIC 2 -> ge-0/0/2
NIC 3 -> ge-0/0/3
NIC 4 -> ge-0/0/4
NIC 5 -> ge-0/0/5
NIC 6 -> ge-0/0/0
NIC 7 -> ge-0/0/7
NIC 8 -> ge-0/0/8
I can deal with that in the LAB until I put the device into clustering mode with another vSRX and the NIC order changes to something else.
How can I get my VirtualBox or KVM vSRX machines to acknowledge that NIC1 is indeed NIC1 and not NIC6?
I've tried the following snippet to set the SRX interfaces up in VirtualBox before boot:
`for i in $(seq 1 8); do vboxmanage modifyvm vsrx1 --nic$i null --cableconnected$i off --macaddress$i 08002$i$i$i$i$i$i$i --nictype$i 82545EM; done`
`for i in $(seq 1 8); do vboxmanage modifyvm vsrx2 --nic$i null --cableconnected$i off --macaddress$i 08003$i$i$i$i$i$i$i --nictype$i 82545EM; done`
Didn't seem to help:

Tried with various drivers, including virtio-net - still have the same issue.
