It's correct to leave these interfaces unnumbered (i.e. no >>>IP addresses) but they do need to be up. Try adding these lines to >>>/etc/rc.conf: >>> >>>ifconfig_fxp0="up" >>>ifconfig_fxp1="up" >>> > > They weren't connected at the time the ifconfig was run. That's the > reason for the no carrier ... I'm sure it's something in the > configuration ... No, that's not what I meant. Notice that the fxp0 and fxp1 interfaces don't have the "UP" flags (whether or not they're physically plugged in is irrelevant). I'm pretty sure you need to "ifconfig up" both interfaces before the bridge can use them and as far as I can tell you didn't do this. I don't claim to be an expert in this area, but I *do* have a filtering bridge working using if_bridge and PF.... Bruce.
