Expected Behavior

I except than inside VM interfaces will have IP addresses like decribed in terraform output

            network_interface {
                ipv4_address = "69.168.x.y"
                ipv4_netmask = 24
                ipv6_netmask = 0
            }
            network_interface {
                ipv4_address = "192.168.16.5"
                ipv4_netmask = 24
                ipv6_netmask = 0
            }
            network_interface {
                ipv4_address = "192.168.32.5"
                ipv4_netmask = 24
                ipv6_netmask = 0
            }
            network_interface {
                ipv4_address = "192.168.40.5"
                ipv4_netmask = 24
                ipv6_netmask = 0
            }
            network_interface {
                ipv4_address = "192.168.40.100"
                ipv4_netmask = 24
                ipv6_netmask = 0
            }
            network_interface {
                ipv4_address = "192.168.32.100"
                ipv4_netmask = 24
                ipv6_netmask = 0
            }

Actual Behavior

But I have like this

192.168.40.5
69.168.x.y
192.168.40.100
192.168.16.5
192.168.32.100
192.168.32.5

@skydion - are you still seeing this issue?

The network_interface should retain the ordering as they are a TypeList.

Can you provide a redacted but reusable version of your configuration for reproduction?

If an OVA has two or more networks, when deployed, potentially the wrong networks are assigned to the adapters. Confirmed with multiple provider versions including the latest 2.1.0.

Example OVA used - VMware Data Management for VMware Tanzu - DMS Provider OVA - dms-provider-va-1.1.0.1577-18978276.ova

Example code can be found here

In the below code, the wrong network labels are configured for the two networks mapped in my OVA file. When the VM is powered on, network connectivity cannot be made (ping), but if I go and manually edit the VM properties and change the VM networks around, the VM now responds to ping.
