Difference in Network Adapter sequence and OS interface

Hi All,

I'm cloning a VM from template(CentOS) which has only one network adapter and while cloning i'm adding one more additional network adapter and assigning PortGroup & IP address for both the NIC's. But when i do ifconfig after VM creation, i see that "Network adapter 1" is assigned as eth1 and "Network adapter 2" is assigned as eth0. Coz of which i'm not getting reachability to outside world.

I'm creating VM from XML.

Kindly help.

Thanks
