Overview

By default, ESXi7 does not assign the physical NICs in order as presented on the vault. The graph below shows how ESXi7 recognizes the physical NICs and vice versa.

Note: You cannot change the order on ESXi; instead, use ESXi7 Port Group features. To learn more about Port Groups, click here.
