UTM virtual machine nic order

Question

Hello everyone, 
 
 I have a vmware vm with utm installed with multiple nics, wan, lan1, lan2 etc. Somehow UTM marks these nics with eth value in a very random order. It is not by mac address or pci slot. Is there a way to reorganize that so there wont be confusion when by looking at it from vmware vm side and utm admin page? Thank you. 
 
 Regards 
 
 Ozzy

Hi Ozer Salman 
 To permanently change the NIC order, do the following as root at the command line: 
 edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules 
 Save the file and then reboot the VM so the new order is loaded.
