No network after reboot

Having a hard time with Proxmox and the network configuration. When doing a fresh install of 8.4 or 9.0 of Proxmox after configuring my NICs in the /etc/network/interfaces file, reloading the interface configuration with ifreload -a, Proxmox is on the network and I can ping the gateway and other remote networks and can access the GUI. Making no other change, when I reboot the machine, and it comes back up I have no network access. The physical interface, the bridge interface and the vlan interface are all up. What is going on?
Here is my interface config I am using.

auto vmbr0.10
iface vmbr0.10 inet static
address 10.0.16./16
gateway 10.0.255.205

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet manual
bridge-ports ens4f0np0
bridge-stp off
bridge-fd 0
bridge-vlan-aware yes
bridge-vids 2-4094

Thanks

I found my solution. These are 25GB Mellanox cards and there is an issue where you have to enable some bridge offload settings for those nics and also limit the number of bridge-vids.

bridge-vids 10
post-up devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:af:00.0 mode switchdev

Once I did the above command in my interfaces file the nic stays up across reboots.
