Hi All

Hope anyone can help me to shed some light on this.
Installed on XCP-NG 8.3 on a mini pc (i5-1245U / 16GB RAM / 6x2,5Gb NIC (5x pass-through to opnsense) 1 for xcp-ng management ) OPNSense and updated to the latest version: Version    24.7.7    Architecture    amd64
Made x number of config changes, all seems fine and dandy. Created bridges all of them work fine.
After some time I noted that the LAN Bridge is having "errors out" (did not see it before as i did not check).
Searched here and there and seems there is no clear conclusion what the cause might be and if it has any meaning but it "bugs" me

A few common questions I found:
Are you using VLANs? - No
Are you using virtual interfaces? - No (well the bridge)
Are you using a bridge which includes an unassigned interface? - No
Are those errors increasing? - Yes
If yes, on which interfaces? - Bridge only. Physical interface shows 0 error.
what is connected to these physical links? - 1 laptop only
What do the interface counters on these devices say? - All green no errors
Can you check on OPN > Interfaces > Diagnostic > NETSTAT if you see any drops, for example? - No drops on any port
Is your system suffering from possible interruptions? - No

Since I was thinking that its my wrong-doing i created a snapshot from the machine and reseted via System: Configuration: Defaults
After that only 1 Bridge has been created across 4 interfaces and changed for admin the password. No other change was made.
Now the tricky part: Same error still on the bridge however the bridge is not even enabled yet. I dont get it why the bridge is even showing up in the Interface statistics widget.

So i did another small test. This time in virtualbox, same basic setup, same error however the picture this time changed - interesting. The only connected port is LAN (not part of the bridge) and the bridge is still in not enabled.


Whats going on here? :)
