just have doubt on the lan port feature which is something new for me.

=is there any issue on pfsense if the lan ports are bypass capable?

thanks

pfSense doesn't support by-pass ports directly and usually you would not ever want that feature on a firewall.
The issue would be that the bypass feature must be capable of being disabled either by jumpers or in the bios otherwise it will quickly bypass the ports after the watchdog timer expires (30s perhaps). An alternative would be to write your own code which keeps the watchdog happy but that would be a last resort.
