TAP interface created automatically

I noticed that my router was assigning 2 ip's to proxmox. I can ssh and access the webgui through both of them. It seems like a tap interface was created and is somehow connected to vmbr1. Vmbr1 is my LAN interface hooked to the router. This is a fairly fresh install, I haven't changed much yet and am just trying to learn the basics.

Could anyone explain what tap100i1 is and if/how I should disable it?

Code:
6: vmbr0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP grou                   p default qlen 1000
    link/ether ac:1f:6b:49:6f:1c brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
7: vmbr1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP grou                   p default qlen 1000
    link/ether ac:1f:6b:49:6f:1d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.1.148/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global vmbr1
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
8: tap100i0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,PROMISC,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast                    master vmbr0 state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 7a:bf:30:01:ee:74 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
9: tap100i1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,PROMISC,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast                    master vmbr1 state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 3e:0f:8a:3e:0e:0a brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.1.147/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global tap100i1
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever


Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eno1 inet manual

iface eno2 inet manual

iface eno3 inet manual

iface eno4 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet manual
        bridge-ports eno1
        bridge-stp off
        bridge-fd 0

auto vmbr1
iface vmbr1 inet dhcp
        bridge-ports eno2
        bridge-stp off
        bridge-fd 0

I see my web GUI. I am trying to get across that ssh and http(s) are working from this node but ping and network access fail. My router doesn't even show that this node is connected to it in anyway? I don't even see how this is possible? I have turned off firewall and still have same issue?
