CHR on Proxmox - Interface name change after clone

RouterOS Virtualization
1

Hello,
using Mikrotik CHR on Proxmox when cloning the router it automatically create new interface instead of changing MAC Address of existing interface. To explain a little bit better:
I got a “Mikrotik CHR Template” with 3 existing interface (ether1, ether2 and ether3), when we clone the VM the new router does not have ether{1..3} but have ether4, ether5 and ether6.
We have also a VMware cluster and it doesn’t have this behaviour.

Addition info and test already done:

  • To install CHR on Proxmox we used the RAW image, while on VMware we used the OVA package


  • we tried to change the interface type on Proxmox (also on VMXNET3) but nothing change


  • we tried to clone the VM directly and clone a template

Thank you for you time and help
Francesco

Are you deploying linked clone or full clone? When I clone my template I do it as full clone with its own storage and do not get this.
