Enterprise Networking Question

Solved by leadeater,
NICs are normally grouped by MMU/PCIe device paths so if you have 2 dual port NICs the NIC in the lowest PCIe slot group number will be NIC1 & 2. Typically I just plug a cable in and look at which port went to active as it's pretty quick to do so and you can use that to figure out the port grouping and numbering, just cross check everything against MAC addresses.
Example server which has an onboard quad port 1Gb NIC and 2 PCIe dual port nics normally results in NIC1-4 being the onboard, NIC5&6 being the first PCIe NIC and NIC7&8 being the second PCIe NIC.
