      My pfSense manages two LAN (bridged, member interfaces got no IP) and one WAN interface. I have member interface filtering disabled and all my rules are on the bridge.

      The reason I have member interface filtering disabled is because I don't understand how to filter on interfaces that don't have an IP. Can I just treat them as if they share the IP of the bridge interface?
      Thanks

        Nevermind.
        I was always wondering why I had traffic on floating rules that worked on members of the bridge…even though I had filtering for members disabled. It's all multi and broadcast messages (as said in the manpage of bridge). Now I am no longer worried about the whole member interface filtering thing. :)
