      Hallo all

      first post, Hallo All,  thanks for PFsense great work

      Now fun  :o
      After building Tap OpenVPN tunel with bridged interfaces betwen 2 sites with pfsense 2.1.1
      That looks like :

      <  pfsense siteA >                internet                <  pfsense siteB  >
      siteA < (lan<>ovpntap)> <–----Openvpn tunel ------><(opvpntap<>lan)>siteB
                < Bridge siteA    >                                              <bridge site="" b =""  ="">my problem is timing

      for example...
      if i reboot siteA pfsense instance , after restart bridged interfaces are not bridged, at least it looks so, but in settings every thing looks ok.
      Then i need to go to in GUI Interfaces >(Assign)>Bridges>select  my bridge and click edit icon and then save button without changing any value)

      Imo this is because bridges are made before tunel is build
      spending xxx hours of frustration WTFun :o :o :o but it works :)

      Now questin How to make it automaticaly, what comands are done when save button is pressed when editing bridge so i can schedule it with cron or shellcmd package

      Marcin


      edit:

      i can confirm timing issue

      ifconfig after reboot shows that on bridge0 is only one member

      and manualy adding ovpnc1 interface and turning it on helps

      commands used to manualy fix after reboot:


      ifconfig bridge0 addm ovpnc1
      ifconfig ovpnc1 up

      please correct me if i'm thinking wrong</bridge>

        This exact same thing happens to me since 2.1.1 upgrade (from 2.1-release)

        Have you already filled a bug report?

            Just wanted to add that I have the exact same problem both upgrading from 2.1 and also with a fresh 2.1.1 install. I have had a lot of trouble with 2.1.1 and this is one of them, so I was forced to revert back to 2.1 again.
