Network Interfaces Mismatch?

Can someone help me figure out how these are mapped? I'm guessing they are just off by one but pretty confusing as to why I've got an extra interface as well. This is in the installation of 3.0.3.+eth mismatch

Not clear what is the issue.

For a first  time installation, the interfaces are mapped / named to ethX names by the order of network drivers loading and by the pci slot number, after this first install the mapping renames persistent through udev rules. If you wish to change the mapping/naming you can do so from the node console (the blue menu screen) displayed from the node itself. Typically you would not care changing mapping if you are using same hardware among your nodes, since the names will be consistent among nodes. Not sure what you mean by off by one or by having extra interface...maybe on one node you have an onboard nic enabled from BIOS but not on other nodes ? again not clear.

If you look at the screenshot on the greyed-out portion you will see the NIC interfaces, eth1 - eth9. However, when you click on the link in the top right of the page 'Network Interfaces' and the popup box shows all of the NICs they are not the same. The count is skewed by one, so eth1 on the main screen and the popup eth0 are the same. Just a little confusing when going through the setup and they are misaligned.

Looks like a bug to me, hopefully that clarifies it better.

Thanks!

eth0 is not displayed in the list of interfaces to apply jumbo frames since we disable enabling jumbo frames on management interfaces. it is not needed on the management interface and will cause a network error in the web interface if it is switch within the wizard.

oh ok, that makes sense. Just a little confusing as its showing one more interface that the popup.
