Hardware Ports to LAN
-
Hello,
I am new here and come from the Unifi UDM pro.
I have pfSense running on a 4 port MiniPC and have a question about port assignment.
Currently I only have WAN and LAN configured.
igc0 = LAN
igc3 = WAN
How can I use igc1/igc2 as a normal port for the LAN network.
Because I am missing 2 ports on the Unifi switch at this point. Or do you say that is not good to do that :)
What exactly do I have to do here? -
@TMG
you need a bridge, see:

Ok, I've done it.
But it's a little bit tricky

@TMG Just note that with a bridge all packets between those computers goes through the router. So that could impact CPU usage on it for example, or network speed.
