Hello all.

I have the following cenario:

LAN 10.1.1.x --- router 10.1.1.1 (providing load balance) --- WAN 1 and
WAN2

and want to insert the pfSense box between the LAN and the router to do
firewall and traffic shaper. I tried to use in NAT mode but in this case the
router directed all the traffic to WAN 1.
Now i'm struggling to put it in Bridge mode, but i really don't know how to
do it.
My pf box have 2 NIC's, LAN and WAN only and i don't want to change it. The
router supports up to 4 WAN's and we want to keep it working.

Does someone can help me in that?

pfSense 2.0-RC3 .

Not sure if this will help your issue, but here's how I set up a bridge
between 3 of my 4 interfaces. In your control panel, go to Interfaces >
(assign). Then there should be a Bridges tab, click that and add a new
bridge interface. Select both your WAN and LAN interfaces to bridge them,
and maybe take a look at the advanced bridging options if you need any of
those.

HI then.

I had figured that configuration, but what i really don't know is wich ip's
to put in each interface, LAN, WAN and OPT1 (the bridge interface). I
followed some howtos and discussion lists threads but in every case i lost
conectivity with my box. In my scenario wich ip's do you suggest to each
interface?

Regards,

Danilo Ventura
