October 31, 20178 yr It is my understanding that 6.4 adds the ability to create virtual bridges in the GUI as opposed to using the brctl command line command. I'm trying to set up a pfSense VM with several virtual bridges connecting other vms or docker containers virtually to the pfSense box. Anyone have any information that may point me in the right direction? I see the Network settings page added route settings, but unless I am mistaken, that is only for established connections, not creating new ones. Thanks in advance.
October 31, 20178 yr The virtual bridges you are referring to are macvlan (custom) networks used for Docker. They are not used for VMs. VMs make use of bridge interfaces (br0, br1, br0.10, br1.10) which need to be defined under network settings. You need to set a port to use bridging and can add VLANs if needed (remember that each VLAN is in fact a different network, and your router + switch need to support VLANs too). The Routing Table under network settings allows you to see the current routes and gives the possibity to add specific routes to each interface, if needed.
