I am not sure why, but

"sharing the same Network Interface means these three subnets share the
same range. Using the same subnet for Management and Storage network is
common place and should not be an issue, but sharing the Public network
subnet can be tricky."

Is this your case? Probably someone here can better explain why share the
same interface for the Public network is not a good idea.
