Bridge Interfaces L2 problem
-
hi . i have the folioing problem in Bridge Interfaces .
1 have the master interface OP1 and the connect Bridge Interfaces OP2
all work OK until i disconnect the cable from OP1 and OP1 port go down then i lost the L2 from OP2 !!!!!!!
did anybody now how i can pass this problem ???? -
Did you create your bridge by adding OPT1 and OPT2 interfaces to it, and then going back to Interfaces > add the BRIDGE0 interface, enable it and then move your IP config to the BRIDGE0 iface directly?
I believe that's how it's supposed to be done, but some screenshots would help to clear this up…

HI again . i setup the master OP1 interface with the IP , i setup the second interface OP2 with no IP and then i add the first & second OP1 & 2 in the Bridge Interfaces section

@Alex-4 have a look at https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/bridges/interfaces.html#bridging-and-interfaces, especially this paragraph:
"Configuring the IP address on the bridge itself is best in nearly all cases. The main reason for this is due to the fact that bridges are dependent on the state of the interface upon which the IP address is assigned. If the IP address for the bridge is configured on a member interface and that interface is down, the whole bridge will be down and no longer passing traffic. The most common case for this is a wireless interface bridged to an Ethernet LAN NIC. If the LAN NIC is unplugged, the wireless would be dead unless the IP address was configured on the bridge interface and not LAN. Another reason is that if limiters must be used for controlling traffic, then there must be an IP address on the bridge interface for them to work properly. Likewise, in order for Captive Portal or a transparent proxy to function on an internal bridge the IP address must be configured on the assigned bridge and not a member interface."
The way your bridge it's configured at the moment what you see is expected.

That explains the behavior. Since the IP is configured on OP1 instead of the bridge interface itself, the bridge depends on OP1 staying up. Moving the IP configuration to the BRIDGE interface should allow OP2 to keep passing traffic when OP1 goes down.

i see the problem now thanx for the replay .
