Description

Assume three NICs: igc0, igc1, igc2
Assume a single bridge: bridge0 (OPT2, OPT3)
And a VLAN: igc0.1036

Interfaces assignment as follows:
WAN -> igc0.1036 -> IPv4 (DHCP): 1.2.3.4/30
LAN -> bridge0 -> IPv4 (static): 192.168.1.1/24
OPT1 -> igc0 -> IPv4 (static): 192.168.100.2/24
OPT2 -> igc1
OPT3 -> igc2

DHCP & RA enabled for LAN only.

The problem: switching OPT1 IPv4 settings from static to DHCP makes pfSense to assign itself an address from the LAN pool, also creating a wrong on-link route for its LAN subnet over the igc0 port, which is the underlying IF of WAN.

Of course this is easily noticeable when no other DHCP serve is active on that igc0 port broadcast domain.
