Can't get simble bridge to work

[ispybadguys]

I am trying to set up a bridge on TruNAS Scale. When I click save I see the bridge and I get an option to test it. When I start the test after a minute it comes back and the bridge is gone. All I want to do is use the two 10G ports so I can daisy chain three 10G devices together i.e PC->TruNAS->QNAP->Internet.

Apart from knowing little about networking I am at aloos here.

What I usually do is create a bridge, set it to DHCP, and save it.
Then I let it get an IP, and then remove the IP from the main interface and apply it statically to the bridge.

Ok I repeated the configuration and saved it and let it sit a couple of minutes and it didn't seem to do anything. Next I recreated and assigned br0 fixed IP but when I test it it reverts and clears the bridge.

The br0 interface should get an IP if it is set to DHCP.

Can you access the TrueNAS cli with a monitor? You could try setting it that way.

I was able to do this using the CLI. Thanks for the help.
