      When creating a VLAN interface,
      the parent interface cannot select the bridge interface because the bridge interface is not displayed.

        @root0day8004 if you search the forum 'bridge vlan' you'll find a few posts about that.

        The TL;DR: put VLANs onto the interface first, then bridge the interfaces.

        But: avoid bridges whenever possible, the performance will take a hit. Buy a cheap switch.
