This is an odd behavior I'm seeing on two servers so far. Not sure why. I did some searches here but wasn't sure what to try for, nothing relevant seemed to come up.
I picked up some SFP+ Intel 10Gbit NICs (82599ES, X520-DA2), connected to each other for high speed VM communication.
So far they work great, VMs move fast between the cluster. The issue comes when I look at the system with ip a on the CLI after a while.
I'll see a dozen of these

I counted, the Intel based one goes 1-25, and then 67, the amd based server goes from 1-49 interfaces.
And this is on both servers. I'm pretty sure the cards are good, they work, they're fast, but the behavior is strange. On boot I only get the basic proper interfaces there, but as time goes on it adds more of these.
Thing is they look fine in the web interface. Networking seems to work even with this odd behavior.
