Hello AAlec, Thank you for your patience. It seems that adding a large amount of VLANs can cause overflow promiscuous to trigger. There may be a way to disable this feature. We would recommend contacting the Intel Support for the i40e drivers at Sourceforge, as they may be able to provide a way to disable this. Please see the following for details: https://sourceforge.net/p/e1000/bugs/575/ If you have any other questions please let us know. Best regards, Daniel D Intel Customer Support
