I am thinking to configure something like this: cloned_interfaces="bridge0 bridge1 bridge2" ifconfig_bridge0="addm fxp0 addm fxp1 span em0 up" ifconfig_bridge1="addm fxp2 addm fxp3 span em0 up" ifconfig_bridge2="addm fxp4 addm fxp5 span em0 up" .. or do I need to configure one different physical interface as a span port for every bridge?? Like this: cloned_interfaces="bridge0 bridge1 bridge2" ifconfig_bridge0="addm fxp0 addm fxp1 span em0 up" ifconfig_bridge1="addm fxp2 addm fxp3 span em1 up" ifconfig_bridge2="addm fxp4 addm fxp5 span em2 up" Thanks. -- CL Martinez carlopmart {at} gmail {d0t} com
