This step if you have multiple NICs that you want to apply all the same settings for in switch mode.

Upon intitial setup, pfsense had you set which NIC was WAN and which was LAN. Any additional NICs were likely labeled OPT.

For this step, we will create a bridge containing all of out OPT NICs.

Change these tuables to the pictured settings.

ctrl+click the interfaces from the list that you want to bridge, with the exception of what is currently set to LAN.

Now we will set LAN to equal Bridge.

At this time, you will need to reconnect your ethernet cable for your computer to one of the new Bridged-LAN ports.

Now, go back to where we created the bridge, and add the additional NIC to your Bridge group.
