      Hello!
      Here is 2.4.4-RELEASE-p1 on board.

      Four native gigabit interfaces on supermicro board and one pci mellanox-connectx-2-10gb-sfp .
      Let's look to a problem by 10G interface:
      it is created multiple vlans on mlxen0 : mlxen0.141 mlxen0.142 mlxen0.143 mlxen0.144 mlxen0.921 .
      Assigned interface on mlxen0.921 with static ipv4 is up and working.
      Also interfaces mlxen0.141 mlxen0.142 mlxen0.143 mlxen0.144 is assigned but have not ip settings at all and down.
      So pfsense notices in log messages incoming broadcast and multicast on mlxen0.141 mlxen0.144:

      filterlog: 9,,,1000000103,mlxen0.144,match,block,in,4,0x0,,128,14134,0,none,17,udp,68,172.20.15.1,255.255.255.255,49666,1947,48

      while ifconfig output:

      ifconfig
      
      mlxen0.144: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
      	options=680003<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,LINKSTATE,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6>
      	ether 00:02:c9:56:51:b2
      	inet6 fe80::202:c9ff:fe56:51b2%mlxen0.144 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x14
      	nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
      	media: Ethernet autoselect (10Gbase-SR <full-duplex,rxpause,txpause>)
      	status: active
      	vlan: 144 vlanpcp: 0 parent interface: mlxen0
      	groups: vlan
      

      Status is active but in pfsense gui interface is disabled. So, what that disable checkbox doing?
