RE: [pfSense Support] 3 interface box with transparent bridge between 2 of them
... Any idea as to 1.x and not plugging a cable into WAN while bridging 2 OPTs? Setup WAN to a VLAN - just to get it out of the way... - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
RE: [pfSense Support] 3 interface box with transparent bridge between 2 of them
How would I go about not doing what I suggest above but instead setting WAN to a VLAN as you suggest? When setting up your NICS - choose YES to add VLANS. Just add some extra VLANS even if you aren't using them. OR you can set it up in the GUI after, by adding VLANS then assigning to the interface. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org

Sure, but is there any particular way I should set them up before assigning the WAN to it so that it will work as you suggest? Perhaps I am being dense...

In 2.0 you don't have to set an IP on any interface (though if you set them all to none, you can't get in and change anything anymore of course). - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
