Interfaces change on reboot

I have a very odd issue whereby when I reboot my UTM firewall some of the interfaces are mapped to different NIC's than before it was rebooted.

 

For example, before the reboot I did last night, eth3 was assigned to the interface with a MAC address ending in C9:46.  But, after the reboot eth3 was trying to use the interface ending in C9:45.  In fact, all the interfaces (except eth1 which is my external interface) seem to have swapped around.

This also meant I was unable to get into the WebAdmin system to troubleshoot.

 

The UTM runs as a VM under Hyper-V.  I was able to resolve the situation by logging into the CLI, and matching up the IP Address set on each interface with which VLAN/Virtual Switch it should be connected to, and change the Network Adapter settings to match what UTM was using following the reboot.

 

Does anybody have any idea why this might be happening, or what I can do to fix it?

  • do you have made some upgrade at hyper-v too?

    i get a similar problem with my SUM one year ago. Something has changed within the hyper-v cluster and after system-reboot interfaces are switched.
