      ![I have 2 switches. I want to put pfsense between the 2 switches.
      pfsense has 3 physical interfaces:
      1: WAN: WAN router (cisco 3400 gateway)
      2: LAN: for management purpose only
      3: OPT1: "LAN" switch

      4: OPT2: BRIDGE between WAN and OPT1

      NAT is disabled on WAN if. Gateways are accessible through the WAN router - 215.13.105.254, 215.13.108.254, 215.13.109.254 - these are the gateways of 3 /24 networks.

      Machines with these /24 addresses are connected to the "LAN" switch.

      I want to use pfsense as a "black box" between cisco gw and LAN switch for packet filtering only.

      How to configure pfsense? I made the bridge, but no traffic through BRIDGE interface.

      Thanks

            Did you add firewall rules to the bridged interfaces to allow traffic flow?
