Device eno1 entered promiscuous mode automatically

[Linyu]

Hi community,
I found abnormal network traffic on my proxmox host, and the kernel reported that the network device entered promiscuous mode and I could not disable it..

root@node-xz:~# grep -r 'promiscuous' /var/log/kern.log
Sep  5 08:22:49 node-xz kernel: [   12.537596] device eno1 entered promiscuous mode
Sep  5 08:23:04 node-xz kernel: [   27.014857] device tap100i0 entered promiscuous mode
Sep  5 08:27:15 node-xz kernel: [   12.303318] device eno1 entered promiscuous mode
Sep  5 08:27:31 node-xz kernel: [   27.573943] device tap100i0 entered promiscuous mode

The promiscuous mode start automatically and I could not disable it !

root@node-xz:~# ifconfig eno1 -promisc
root@node-xz:~# ifconfig
eno1: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500

And there is no promisc flag in ifconfig, and I've checked the kernel, nothing happend.

root@node-xz:~# grep -r 'promiscuous' /var/log/kern.log

Here is my network configuration.

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eno1 inet manual

iface eno2 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
        address *.*.*.*
        netmask *.*.*.*
        gateway *.*.*.*
        bridge-ports eno1
        bridge-stp off
        bridge-fd 0

auto vmbr1
iface vmbr1 inet static
        address 192.168.1.1
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        bridge-ports none
        bridge-stp off
        bridge-fd 0
        post-up echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

PS: I've tried to reinstall the os to proxmox 6, nothing changed.
Can you help me? : (

This is default behavior. It's needed for VM traffic.

I have the same problem/error after some time all VMS freeze the only choice is to reboot the server
