      Hi there,
      I have trouble with my home network and need a hint.
      My setup is planed as follow:

      One Fujitsu Server with Windows Hyper-V Server 2019 core with 4 Port Intel Pro/1000 PT NIC and also one Realtek GBE for Server managment (on-board)

      • 1 vHost with pfSense
      • 1 vHost with Windows Server 2019 (DC)
      • 1 vHost Debian Server

      Now i hang at the Bridging of the vNIC's with the physical NIC's. I have all physical NIC's as an external vSwitch (without common use with Host) and one private and one internal vSwitch.

      Port 1+2 of the Intel NIC are for WAN1 and WAN2 (aggregated), DHCP
      Port 3 are tagged VLAN 1 (unrestricted) Static, 192.168.100.1/24
      Port 4 are tagged VLAN2 (restricted) Static, 192.168.90.1/24
      Both, Port 3 and Port 4 are going to a Netgear GS308E (managed Switch)

      Port 5 are the 1st vSwitch (private network), need to be bridged with Port 3
      Port 6 are the 2nd vSwitch (internal network), need to be bridged with Port 4

      Now i want to bridge the pysical with the virtual interfaces. Currently i try to get a minimal system running without any restriction or VLAN tags.

      I Follow this guides:

      • https://eengstrom.github.io/musings/configure-pfsense-bridge-over-multiple-nics-as-lan
      • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bz45r_4BREw

      And yes, i change net.link.bridge.pfil_member to 0 and net.link.bridge.pfil_bridge to 1
      but with the bridged interface i don't get an IP from the DHCP. If i give a client a static IP,
      I can't also reach the gateway. It doesn't matter if the client use a virtual switch or the pysical one.

      I give every interface an allow any to any firewall rule, including the bridge - no different.
      I try also bridging only the Port 3 and 4 of the pysical interface - no diffrence.
      I create a interface group in pfSense - with and without the bridge - no difference.

      Long story short - how i can Bridge 2 or more Interfaces to the same subnet?

      Thanks
