When trying to create a Linux Bridge I noticed that I am no longer able to view the interface names for my quad NIC. They used to be labeled enp4s0f0, enp4s0f1, enp5s0f0, and enp5s0f1 but no longer show up with ip a, ip link show, etc. I also receive an error stating that the bridge port does not exist when using one of the above interface names. I'm not sure why this is the case.

Below are outputs of the commands I have tried:

ip link show
ip_link_show.png

dmesg | grep -i eth
dmesg_grep_eth.png

lspci
lspci.png

/etc/network/interfaces
network_interfaces_config.png

As you can see, the previous names of the interfaces are no longer displayed as active. The numerical list for ip link show is also skipping some numbers. I've been trying to figure this out all morning and hope someone has a solution. Thanks so much!

what changed to your system? Obviously, you have a naming problem.
Try to use eth0-4 in the interfaces file!
