      Not really that I know of (I use switch ports for things like this, and bridge(4) is silent about any member interface limit) but there is a practical limit where the web ui starts to have problems. It's usually in the hundreds of interfaces though.

      DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

          @broonu Hello, sorry if I'm replying to this old topic, but I'm experiencing the same problem trying to bridge the WAN interface with a VLAN created on a LAN interface.

          The behavior is almost the same: no reply to ARP requests from pfsense + I cant ping the pfsense upstream gateway.

          Before giving up, I noticed that the WAN and LAN interfaces are E1000 (not VMXNET3).
          I would like to change the nic type as last attempt.
          Anyway, before doing that, I would like to know if there is a particolar relation between bridge and vmxnet3.

          Could you please help me?
          Thanks
          Mauro
