It's always behaved the same - if you have the IP for the bridge on an Ethernet interface and that interface goes down, that IP is no longer reachable. The bridge is fine, you just don't have an IP anymore. Don't put the IP on an interface that will go down, either assign the bridge and put it on the bridge itself, or put it on an interface that won't ever go down. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
