Description

The basic usecase is using a second port on the firewall to connect another hardware switch distributing the internal network and VLANs on top of it.

Adding bridges for the VLAN interfaces works nicely following the documentation https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/bridges/interfaces.html (creating VLAN and interface for second port, creating the bridge, assigning the bridge, creating an interface for the first port, adding first port to bridge) but when adding the bridge for the internal non-VLAN network all other bridges stop working.

I'm aware that this could easily circumvented by adding a hardware switch in front of that one port, but the idea has been to save some energy and space by using pfSense bridging functionality.
