Linux Bridge (vmbr) has no connection to physical NIC

I built myself a new home server and wanted to use Proxmox VE. Its Debian based and I have 3 KVM-machines running. Machine 1: "Sophos UTM" has WAN on vmbr0 and DMZ on vmbr1 (192.168.200.254) Machine 2: "OpenMediaVault" (debian based) has LAN on vmbr1 Machine 3: "Xubuntu" just for testing and link into the different networks, currently connected to vmbr1

The Host has 4 GBit-NICs onboard with the Intel 82574L Chipset. Additionally I have a quadport intel NIC installed, just for testing).

eth0 is connected to my home network (192.168.100.0/24) and vmbr0 eth1 is connected to a NAS (192.168.200.200) and vmbr1

The connection between eth0 and vmbr0 is working because the Sophos UTM has a working inteet connection. The machines connected to vmbr1 can also access the web via the Sophos UTM.

My problem is that except one time I cannot connect to the NAS on eth1 via vmbr1. The NAS is working and if I plug in directly into the switch between eth1 and the NAS I can access it.

Do you guys have any clue? Is it my fault or is it one of these problems with this particular chipset?

I'd love to get help from you. Feel free to ask further questions.

Here are some data that might be useful for troubleshooting:
