VMware Nic Order

Hi All
I'm having a problem with having a number of Astaro images on a VMWare box that is fitted with 6 nic's. 2x Intel 82578DM Onboard and 1x I350 4 port adapter.
In the VMware Console it shows on the right hand side the state of the ports and all is right. (see nic.jpg)
If I go into Astaro Instances in VMWare you will see (pic Astari Instance 1) the port relationship. (Both instances have the same mappings).

Port 1 on the I350 (vmnic1) vSwitch1/Port 1 (VMWare) Mapped to Network Adapter 2 (Eth1)=Network Label Port 1 (VMWare Instance) = External Wan Interface (DHCP).

Yet in Astaro on Instance 1. Eth2 is connected to the vSwitch1, Where it should be connected to VSwitch 2 and all the other Ports are scrambled.

On Astaro Instance 2 I'm unable to log in as the ports are different again.

If I have the two onborad nics plus one other (so three in total all is fine) after three nics I am unable to align the ports across from Vmware to Astaro.
Should I be manually setting the Mac addresses in some order?
Currently running 9.001-18

Any thoughts.
