VLAN fails if I set Hardware Filtering to "Leave default"

Still running 22.1.10_4-amd64 as I'm having issues preparing my VLANs for the upgrade - I've made sure to create the parent entry for one which is missing, after which I rebooted and all was well. Then I set "VLAN Hardware Filtering" to "Leave default" as I have seen recommended in the 22.7 forum, but after a reboot the VLAN stops accepting traffic in any direction. At this point the only way to get it back is to set the parent interface's override to "Disable VLAN Hardware Filtering" and all starts working again. So to recap, I have it set to "Leave default" for global, and "Disable VLAN hardware Filtering" just on the parent interface. I have also tried deleting and recreating the VLAN but that made no difference.



The interfaces in question are the main LAN and my DMZ running over it - the WAN was interface I needed to add a parent entry to as it's a PPPoE connection to my ISP i.e. another VLAN and somehow got missed a while back.


I'm concerned even if I temporarily revert the "Disable VLAN Hardware Filtering" to "Leave default" that after the upgrade to 22.7 it won't come back to life even if I set it back again. I don't relish having to rebuild the whole firewall which is a physical box to revert back to 22.1

Update: so ok things got worse, note to self: perform a speedtest after changes in future, I got alerted by my overnight speedtest check that my upload speed was low. In fact so low it hit the critical alert. I have a 1000/500Mbit fibre connection and the upload speed was testing lower that 20Mbit. I confirmed this again and my scheduled test that tests against 5 different locations all came back the same - only the upload speed was affected and all below 20Mbit. So I tried a reboot as the last change I made I forgot to do that and it was no better. Changed the global setting back "disabled" and removed the override on the other interface and even after a reboot still low upload speed. Reverted my config to before the changes and rebooted, things were back to normal.


I'm not sure what to do now.
