Thanks for the link Cory.

So this is what I have

1.1 - internal VLAN
1.2 - external VLAN
1.3 - HA VLAN

I've had a look using the command: tmsh show sys mac-address and get this back (filtered for relevance)

 0:23:e9:54:5c:1    net interface          mgmt                   mac-address
 0:23:e9:54:5c:3    net vlan               internal               mac-true
 0:23:e9:54:5c:4    net interface          1.1                    mac-address
 0:23:e9:54:5c:4    net vlan               external               mac-true
 0:23:e9:54:5c:5    net interface          1.2                    mac-address
 0:23:e9:54:5c:5    net vlan               HA                     mac-true
 0:23:e9:54:5c:6    net interface          1.3                    mac-address

ifconfig gives:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:23:E9:54:5C:01
internal  Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:23:E9:54:5C:03
external  Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:23:E9:54:5C:04
HA        Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:23:E9:54:5C:05

Interfaces in GUI gives:

1.1     0:23:e9:54:5c:4     1000    1   
1.2     0:23:e9:54:5c:5     1000    1   
1.3     0:23:e9:54:5c:6     1000    1
