      Hi,

      I have a cpu box with 3 NIC.  I want to setup the following and would like to know if this is possible with pfsense.

      eth2 where there are two VLAN 10 (10.1.1.0/24) and VLAN 20  (192.168.1.0/24). I would like to bridge the VLAN 10 traffic to eth0 and VLAN 20 traffic to eth1.

      I do not want NAT the traffic.  Is this a possible setup?.

      Thanks.

        Why not just get a switch?

          Unless I missed something, you want to ROUTE traffic across vlans, not bridge it.

            So you have 2 vlans already on eth2, vlan 10 and vlan 20 - and now you want eth0 to be part of vlan 10, and eth1 to part of vlan 20?

            Dude if you need more ports in your vlan - connect to a switch with the port configured for that vlan.  Interfaces on pfsense router are NOT switch ports..
