Hi gents,
Thanks for the replies, mine looks similar:

    <interface type='bridge'>
      <mac address='52:54:01:00:22:98'/>
      <source bridge='backbone-1'/>
      <virtualport type='openvswitch'>
        <parameters interfaceid='7c7cf663-24e5-48d0-bae7-0ffb594ac0c8'/>
      </virtualport>
      <target dev='ge-25-pe3.pop'/>
      <model type='virtio'/>
      <alias name='net26'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x1e' function='0x0'/>
    </interface>

First I thought it's the problem with 48 interfaces in xml -while CSR supports max 26
So I tried with 26 to no avail even 16 is messed up but 8 is ok.
I even tried to hardcode the pci bus and slot -but that didn't help either.
And it's not ordering based on MAC value either.
Haven't run into this problem with vMX or XRv,

Also on a side not the standard console aint' working on these either:
    <serial type='tcp'>
      <source mode='bind' host='127.0.0.1' service='60165'/>
      <protocol type='telnet'/>
      <target port='0'/>
      <alias name='serial0'/>
    </serial>

Not sure what's going on here
