Change VMnet3 to different interface in Guest OS?

My VMWare Workstation configured with 3 Networks (VMnet1, VMnet2 and VMnet3).

These 3 settings were set as DHCP Server as well.

The IP Range is as follows:

    VMnet1 - 172.31.1.0/24

    VMnet2 - 172.31.2.0/24

    VMnet3 - 172.31.3.0/24

I have Palo Alto Firewall as a guest OS with 3 NICs (VMnet1, VMnet2 and VMnet3) using DHCP-client setting.

    Management  - VMnet1 - 172.31.1.30

    ethernet1/1 - VMnet2 -

    ethernet1/2 - VMnet3 -

Whenever I reboot the firewall, I always get VMnet1 IP Address which was 172.31.1.30.

Is it possible to change this from VMnet1 to VMnet3?

If I disable VMnet1, I will never get an IP from VMnet2 or VMnet3.

My goal was to change it to VMnet3.

If you need more info regarding this issue, please let me know.

Hello
we also need the vmx-file of that VM and a screenshot of the Virtual Network Editor (please launch Workstation as admin to create that screenshot)
