I don't think the problem is not the number of interfaces, ESXi 5.1 allows for up to 10 on a normal VM, with the management interface it means you can have up to 9 TMM interfaces which I have used many times. See, https://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere5/r51/vsphere-51-configuration-maximums.pdf

 

The reason they are not showing is that the configuration load has not completed successfully.

 

As the rule is part of the standard 13.0.0 configuration, which I have tested on a default config and it loads correctly, it is either a bug or that somewhere earlier in the configuration is another quote.

 

You could either open a case with F5 support or start removing chunks of config to see if you can narrow down where the problem is.
