Hello,
The thread has not been marked closed or solved so I'll ask my own questions since I am trying to do about the same.
So I have pfSense as a firewall|router and a T610 running TrueNAS bare metal. At the time of first installation, there was only one LAN and everything fell under. Now, I have segmented my network and I'd like some jails/VMs to run under their related vlans. Since my T610 has 2 NICs and that I can use the second one (bce1) to avoid messing everything, I would like to go that way.

bce0 is used to manage TrueNAS and is set as DHCP while pfSense gives it a static IP.
Q0: Why is it that in «/Interfaces», there is no
bridge0 but my actual jails refers to
bridge0 ?
Q1: Since
bce1 will only hosts vlans or VMs; I guess it should be set similar to
bce0 (DHCP). But then, each jail will have it's own vtnet IP; so why
bce1 should have it's own IP, it won't be managed ?
Q2:
Disable Hardware Offloading When one wants to tick that box, it says that it could degrade networking performance and would only be recommended for VMs/VLANs. Well, this is exactly the sole purpose of bce1 in my intended purposes. Should I tick that box ?
Q3: Then, in «/Interfaces», I should create
VLAN10 and
VLAN20 ?
Q4: Then, in «/Interfaces», I should create
bridge10 and
bridge20 ?
Q5: For, lets say
bridge10, should the member(s) be solely
vlan10 or (
vlan10,
bce1 ) ?
