Hi,

All my nodes are listed with an error status in the SDN overview. I can't find any detailed information. I also have not noticed any actual issues. All nodes have been rebooted multiple times since this started happening, and SDN configuration has been reapplied.

You can get a more detailed error output by clicking on the zone in the left-hand resource tree.
 
Thanks. It shows error vmbr0 on my three VNets.

Can you post the output of

Certainly.

It seems like you still have an IP address configured on vmbr0: 10.7.20.10/24 which causes the ifquery check to fail.

Is this a leftover from a previous configuration, since you seem to have the same subnet configured as well on vmbr0.20? In that case it should be sufficient to remove the IP address from vmbr0, in order to make the error go away.
Be careful though and make sure that the connection via vmbr0.20 works, since it might be the case that your management access is currently working via vmbr0, instead of vmbr0.20, and it might cease to work if you remove the IP from vmbr0.

Thanks! 10.7.20.10/24 is actually a virtual keepalive address. I think I might have previously used vmbr0 for PVE management. I have now moved the keepalive configuration to vmbr0.20, which has cleared the SDN errors.
