@stephenw10 thanks for your reply
okay what i want to do is bridge my fibre nokia ont router/modem to a pfsense machine which willl be functioning as a router to my lan computers i did the bridge on the ont port but there's no connection on the pfsense
any help please? -
What is the connection? PPPoE?
Does it require anything special? VLAN tagged traffic maybe?

@stephenw10 yes it is PPPoE
but i don't know if it needs vlan tag or not
how i can check ?
and thank you for your time -
The Nokia router will probably show how it's connected when not in bridge mode.
Otherwise ask your ISP.

@stephenw10 checked it does need a vlan id
-
Ok, then you might need to setup that VLAN in pfSense if the ONT/modem stops tagging in bridge mode.
Add the VLAN to the parent NIC then create the PPPoE session on that VLAN.

@stephenw10 can you please show me the steps i don't have any idea how to do it
and thanks for your feedback and your time -
Go to Interfaces > Assignments > VLANs and create a VLAN on the existing WAN NIC using the appropriate VLAN ID.
Now go to Interfaces > Assignments > PPPs and edit the PPPoE connection. Change the 'Link Interface' to the new vlan.
