      I have just notice that in pfSense => Status => Interfaces, I see that all MAC Address for WAN/LAN/OPT1 are the same.

      Is it usual, or is there something wrong in our setup? Will it cause problem or not?

      Please advice.

        If they are just vlans on the same physical interface then sure that would be fine.

        example
