We have 4 port ethernet cards in our main AMD based router running MT. .
When we've swaped to new box, the restore doesn't always get it right.
Mostly due to whether or not onboard lan was enabled. The 4 port card is
always sequential, just sometimes not always at the beginning or end.
Winbox doesn't show the port number, but terminal screen does under /int
print. Helps me keep them straight after I've renamed them.

With that being the case take note if you have to replace the board
and do a backup/restore!

This is very confusing when trying to figure out which port to
physically plug various cables into. I've tried resetting the
config, but it didn't change anything. Any suggestions on what I
can do to get the port ordering straightened back out?
This is a common issue. The only "fix" is to rename the interfaces.
It is a problem that I know MT has been told about, but they did
not, could not or would not (take your pick) change the behaviour.
